thank you guys for setting things straight about nl.
maple sloth, could you please describe that one nice pheno? how was/is better than the rest? better potency, stronger odor? do you keep it? what the high was like?

You may have seen my thread on the Peak NL over at ICmag. If not, all of the phenos were good. It was the best NL of several I tested. Nice even effect, I would pick it a bit early if you do not want couchlock.

hi Yesum!) yes i've seen it, but i'd like to hear more feedback from other folks since the impression i got you take preference in mellow gentle types of high. for example s.a.d. s1 i grow didn't give me any indica traits i was looking for (body stone, strong physical and mental relaxation, well-being, etc.) but it was/is one of your favourite smokes.

p.s. i see you have moved to landrace sativas since then, perhaps one day you'll summarize your experience on them? you got quite an exemples, i certainly will be interested to hear your comparisons.

Just noticed Mike took the texada timewarp crosses off his page. Those were about the only lines of his I didn't try as I only grow indoor.

Between that and the C99 and haze crosses it looks like PSBC is changing things up a bit. Good to see he's still sticking to classic IBLs and their F1's as a theme. I don't even want to imagine a PSBC Green Peanut Butter Shortcake Cookie Breath or other such nonsense.

Just confirmed Northern Berry and Northern Skunk on their way to my house. Been messing with Bodhi and Greenpoint and a couple others for 3 years to explore Chems and OGs and Northern Skunk will hang with anyone’s best.
The first 2 NS beans I popped are just waiting their turn in the flower tent, hoping for at least one girl.

I've grown Kush x Nl and Kush x Blueberry and found that I had to pheno hunt a bit. The KB especially, the first couple I harvested did not impress me very much. The most recent KB was amazing, powerful and flavourful and dumbass me didn't take a cut.


My NS's were potent too. Did you ever run Mikes Blueberry?
After a few mediocre runs due to my lack of skill, I've currently got a tall, healthy BB girl in week 4 of flower. She's starting to throw out the blueberry/grape smell. The mediocre plants gave powerful, tasty smoke and I have high ;) hopes for this one. Also, for a plant with a reputation for being finicky, I find it clones really well.

Hillbill is not worthy of Blueberry. Always has mutant potential and can be fussy early. Maybe someday but Peak is where I go for incredibly homogeneous genetics with lack of drama which I don’t get from any real Blueberry. Wanted a good solid Indica so Northern Berry which I ran in the past.

And Northern Skunk because it is one of the best on this planet.

I haven't run the Northern Berry yet but maybe soon.
Considering all the different strains that you've run, and for you to speak so highly of Northern Skunk, should give people a heads up for the quality of Peaks genetics.

@Saboo the Shaman : Were the Kushberries you ran all form the same pack? I'm asking just because it seems older reviews of the KB seemed to imply it was a little lack-lustre. Recent comments I've seen about that cross on various boards seemed to suggest it's great. I imagine MJ has kept at it with that cross. Anyone else run Kushberry recently?

Yup. same pack, bought in (I think) 2017.
I've realized that in addition to phenotype variation, so many other variables can affect a plant. I've made good progress in my growing, but am still happy to accept that any issues with the earlier plants were my fault. Given that all Mike's kush crosses are from the same mom(per email conversations), that would make sense.

Most of my plant count is taken up right now with PSBC Blueberry and a cut of his C99 I'm calling the Pineapple Princess(can't wait to cross those two). I really want to get around to more KB, but dammit, there's only so much space and so many days in a year. I've also got a bunch of his Sweet Skunk x Haze to try at some point, plus some gear from other breeders, not to mention my own pollen chucks.

Thanks! I'm a little crowded in there. Unfortunately, my scrog is only going to be able to grow up at this point. I need to defoliate 1more time (probably about a week from now)- any low lying stragglers are getting chopped. The other mistake I made with this scrog is that squares on the net are too big. If I tuck a branch over one square, it's too drastic a drop in height. Live and Learn I guess. All in all I'm happy, and the plants seem happy! These are getting the Maxibloom K.I.S.S. method. 7 grams of MB per gallon of City Tap water that sits out for 3-4 days (165 ppm) I am adding Silica, and Floralicious. They get fed the K.I.S.S. dose every watering. They are in 3 gallon fabric pots: 2 parts of mostly Coarse Coco, 1 part Perlite. Right now they are being hit with 1.5 gallons of MB & water per pot 2 times a day. Once about 1/2 hour after lights on, and again about 5 hours later. They dry out fast...Anyway I'm getting off topic here.

The above pic shows you 2 phenos. Notice the plant in the top half has more tops packed in there and is slightly darker green. It's pot is elevated 2 inches above the other pot as it won't stretch as much as the other plant. The plant in the lower half has the best and most unique high, has a loose sativa-like bud structure and carries an NL-ish smell underneath its fruitiness. The plant in the upper half had the best yield last run, and tastes very fruity with a spicy floral undertone that is like original scent speed stick deodorant. It's nugs look like NL style nugs but it does n't carry any of the NL smell. This plant was a nice potent hybrid high , gets you totally baked - but the high is not quite in the same league as the other pheno as far uniqueness goes. It's plenty trippy but does n't quite have the euphoria and feeing of well being the other pheno has. Taste wise they have a similar fruitiness. The lower pheno is slightly more sour tasting underneath.

If I could only take 1, it would be the pheno in the lower half.

On a side note: After every labour day I cut booze out completely and keep it that way until the Friday of Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. So I had to go to a wedding 2 weekends ago and NOT DRINK. I figured I would just bring enough of the old NL x c99 to roll a couple of fatties. My wife and I were seated at a table were we kind of knew a couple of people, but did n't know most of them. I asked everyone if they wanted to step outside and smoke some of my homegrown. About half the table took me up on it. And man it is some nice party-time social smoke. Everyone who smoked it was like "wow! hook me up!". It did n't Zombie anybody. Just a whole of Perma-Grins going on. Word got around and there were alot more people outside for the second cannon I rolled up.

I'm pretty pleased with this Blueberry so far. Day 34 from flip.



That's one of MikeJ's C-99 that's nearly done on the right, btw.
The orange tape is marking the branches I dusted, one with NL, one with SS. I just noticed you can see a seed forming in the top bud in the left foreground. Yay, pollen chucking!
