Blue Steel is a strain from Exotic Genetics.

Blue Steel (Exotic Genetix) :: Cannabis Strain Info

Blue Steel by Exotic Genetix is an indica-dominant strain with fruit-forward flavors. Created by crossing the pungent OG Blueberry and The Cube, a Starfighter F3 phenotype bred in-house, Exotic Genetix has outdone itself with this subtly sedative cro...

If AKBB doesnt have it personally, its probably sold out. It sold out at JBC really fast.

You might try Instagram. Ask nothing from Instgram.

From what I understand Seattle Greg bred and holds the genetics to the original NL5... The old, original NL5 cut everyone speaks of is a special plant that was genetics made by Seattle Greg.

But the cut that went to Europe/Nevil, did originally come from seeds that Seattle Greg made. They hybridized it with something else, and everyone from then on calls the Hybrid, NL5. Sensi Seeds ect, but as of about 10 or so years, Sensi no longer advertises their NL as NL5. Only as NL. I believe they lost the original Male genetics. Though the NL5 from late 80s0-90s-mid 2000s Sensi Seeds NL5 was extremely potent, and stacks up against almost anything. Id buy it now if they had it.

Also from what I understand, Seattle Greg has given Todd McCormick some of the Original NL5 Seeds the old clone came from. I believe the popular clone Nevil got comes from 1984, or earlier.
Todd plans on breeding the NL5 to Mel Franks Original Haze for NL5 x Haze seeds. Todd also has a killer Original Nevils Haze Male.
Todd as of right now has the Real Deal PURE as the driven snow HAZE SEEDS. Straight from Mel Frank, who got them from Skunkman decades ago. These are the real, unadultered thing. But remember only about 10% are highly desirable.

But when NL5 seeds from Holland were being sold, they were using a different male to make their version of NL5. Thus the confusion. I also always thought NL5 was clone only. It IS, if you go by the really old clone everyone is familiar with, but it seems Seattle Greg does have the original genetics saved back. Ive also heard SG also recently gave someone else some of the seeds.

This is pretty interesting. I have been researching information on NL for years. Thanks for sharing this. Its pretty cool that the real deal NL5 could possibly be released at some point.

Seattle Greg AKA Greg McCallister, who is in his 70s, just gave Todd McCormick/Authentic Genetics...... his Original NL5 genetics,, and told Exactly what it was bred with.
Greg got Hawaiian genetics from Hawaii ( this guy is also alive, and wants to collaborate with McCormick, and Greg verified the guy is the guy that holds the original Hawaiian genes ) and bred it to an old Afghan mother he had in the 70s, all of this started in the 70s.

The Hawaiian is???
Swazi x Thai x Mexican. They got the Mexican from BOEL/Clackamas Coots buddies long ago, and bred it to the Afghan, and it produced a BIG Sativa type plant.

When Nevil got the cut, it was bred back to the Afghan again, making it more of an Indica structured plant.
Then when Nevil bred it it was further bred to an afghan making the Indica structure mostly locked in.
Then in 1990 Sensi Seeds got all of Nevils genetics, and released it as NL5 when actually it its a Hybrid. Greg says he never gave the genetics out to anyone else in pure form.

McCormick has these for Preorder for $100 for 2 packs. Buy 1 get 1 free. Deal ends end of Nov. Seeds will be delivered by April 1st 2021.

Actually when Greg gave the clone to Nevil, he called it Northern Light/lite. Cant remember how he spelled it. I think Greg is the originator of all the NL varieties.


The original 80s Sk1 were also Preorder and are to be delivered by Dec 1st. Many have already been sent out.

By, which means he will send out orders starting before Apr 1st. Hes ahead of schedule for sending the Sk1s. No way Im letting this NL5 get away.

I understand what it means but I just don't like that April fools day is in the mix.
In an industry where getting burned is more often than not the norm its just bad magumbo.
I'm glad to hear that he's ahead of schedule shipping out the Sk1's though.
Hopefully the NL5 will roll out just as smoothly.

Yeah the weed seed market is as about as wild west as they come IMHO.

Still, ya gotta be in it to win it. I do anyway. I have zero connections lol.

One thing, I have seen Greg McCallister participating in some youtube live chats over the past week. Point being the guy is around. That and five bucks will probably get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks but it makes me feel a little more comfortable there would be some noise if this thing wasn't legit. I know next to nothing though so that's just conjecture.

Didn't have the best start to my AKBB experience: only 4 of 18 Blue Steel x Big Skunk popped their heads up. 3 of those gave up quickly, leaving one very funky runt. I'm not too surprised as most of the seeds looked a little immature. I've kept the runt on to see what it'll do.

Environment was on point, I even use a few known 'control' seeds when germinating from a new (to me) breeder, which all came up fine.

Slightly disgruntled, I put down 10 Skunk Qabbage x Mimosa to allay my fears of possible heat damage in transit. 8 healthy sprouts came up so panic over.

I'll send him an email for feedback purposes, but suffice to say I'd recommend avoiding the Blue Steel x Big Skunk.

Very Nice!
Just chopped mine on tuesday. I never did get any pics taken but this is what they looked like. I had one that had in my opinion excellent structure with minimum stretch and the largest buds of the 8 females I grew out. These look nice and I am looking forward to some of mine. I'm going to bust some out on new year's eve. Bring in the new year with something new and fresh that I've never had before.

Again super nice and give us a smoke report when you get there and I'll do the same.
