I've yet to grow out the NL2 and NL5 I have on hand. The NL2 I got from Royal Queens got some strong positive reviews from my neighbors.
Is rqs seeds the #2 i thought its like sensis current one the nl1xnl2xnl5 mix like alot of places sell just as northern lights no number?

Think your right on that one. I just assumed it was a Northern Lights #2 from the discription of Indica heavy. And it's their version of it so who knows what it really is.

Neville never reproduced the 10, how would they have it?
Who knows mate but i see a few places offer it hence why i ask he had up to the 9 at least i know that much there is a thread on icmag about the nl 1 to ten but no one really mentions the #10 mostly the #1 or #5 and the #2 as there most popular the nl9 seems lost in the woods too i dont think anyone offers that currently

Nl1 and nl2 were very indica no1 is a perfect sog plant one thick main branch and a few side branches not many at all and the nl2 was more like a kush like hindu or afghan kush in growth style and more branchy vs nl1 its maybe bred to the 1 more maybe the 2 but who knows ul find out when u grow it out the #5 is the highest yielding except the high yielding pheno in the 9 that nevil called a big bud like plant in yield terms but idk anyone selling that or using it these days

This part of your post confuses me. As I remember, and honest to God these days my memory sucks, but in general the higher the number, the more Type I dominant, so I'm surprised Neville would compare a NL9 with a Big Bud type plant. Big Bud was not a Type I plant, predominately Type II.

There were some asshat up in Canada a couple years back who was marketing a NL9... complete and total bullshit. I think people are getting too caught up in the numbers. If Neville couldn't acquire NL5 and had to try to back door NL Seattle Greg just to get it, I have a real difficult time believing Harvey Schmidlapp in Podunk, Ohio is going to have a NL7.

To be fair they are indica hybrids with fantasy names.

He wasnt comparing it to big bud apart from it yielded good obviously hence the comparison obviously there type 1 plants most tokers are only intrested in type one plants mate and what big bud you running the pnw clone is a type 1 nevils seedline too??? Its thc dominant and low cbd only thing different is its high in cbn and often passes that on to its progeny what big bud line you finding type two phenos in?

Type I=sativa=NLD (narrow leaf drug)

Type II= indica=BLD (broad leaf drug)

Type III=hemp=not sure about the leaf structure nomenclature, but I'd call it a no drug leaf. :-)

Type IV is a hybrid = a combo of NLD and BLD.

And a combo of two Type IV's would = a multi-poly hybrid, which is what probably 95% of the cannabis sold today is.
Ohh i thought you talking about drug type classes not the new terminology my mistake in that case big bud would be type two in the modern terminology yeah

Anyone know what the nl#10 was genetics wise seems to be a few places offering this one mainly s1s ?
NL#10 was never released because it was too unstable, which is the reason why Nevil dropped it from his breeding program.. All those Seed banks that claim they have NL#10 are well known white label seed dealers. I wouldn't take anything they say too seriously.
