    Does the Northern Lights #5 from the 90’s still exist?

    I would respectfully disagree. The original #5 is one Nevil could not obtain again, that's why he tried to back door NL Seattle Greg and get it from the "Indian".

    LM301H vs LM301H-EVO

    Whether it be light spectrum, soil, fertilizer, growing method, etc. there's always going to be people who will debate the finer/exotic aspects of growing cannabis. These are the people who have extensive knowledge of a very specific niche, in this case light spectrum, and try to optimize every...

    how hard is it to get a decent fan.

    Have been running the non-oscillating version of the AC Infinity 6-in EC fans for over a year now, full speed - 24X7, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Have never hooked them up to a controller, they're dust and water resistant, super energy efficient, and a dramatic decrease in the chance...

    Does the Northern Lights #5 from the 90’s still exist?

    For the definitive answer to the question, no #5 does not exist, or #2 for that matter. At least if you're actually looking for the genotype and not the phenotype. The closest you'll actually get to the _genotype_ is from Sensi, but since the late '90s, everything they've sold as Northern...

    Good soil

    As long as you stick with _potting_ soil (not top soil, garden soil, etc.) you'll be okay for cannabis with pretty much any brand you'll find at a garden store. The primary ingredient in Promix, and almost all other potting soils, is peat. I use Sta-Green (which is a Lowe's brand) and...

    Grow journal

    It's real hard for me to get any kind of bud shot these days without including a little dog hair from our golden. :-) And I'm right there with you plunging in doing shit without totally thinking it all the way through... although sometimes that can be the best way to learn. :cool:

    How Seed Companies Alter Bud Shots

    Anything that can be done to enhance the "frosty" factor will increase sales, regardless of the high it produces. I will always wonder how things would have turned out if I had focused on the "frosty" factor and not the structural/survivalist traits of the original Northern Lights. That's why...

    Vic's version vs. Sub's super soil

    Doing a deep dive into Vic's BCGA site and somehow this thread came up in my Google search. I have extensive knowledge of this subject from back in the day, because I was there and participated. Will not talk trash about dead men, since they're not here to defend themselves. But Sub and BOG...

    How Seed Companies Alter Bud Shots

    I know I'm a skeptical fuck but a lot of people are manipulated into buying seeds from companies who use Photoshop _extensively_ to manipulate bud shots. All of the bud shots and photos I have posted on my website and here on RIU have been unmanipulated in Photoshop, other than adjusting...
