Just got an email, heime cheeba's RKS f2s are available now. Supposedly limited. I've heard people say Heime didn't have the real thing, but if anyone wants to try them at a price that isn't $500, this is probably a good way to go. Pic looks very much like a Chem to me. Save some dough and use code "overgrow" if you haven't already. It's only good once.

I got that same email. I could not determine if those seeds were female or regular.

It's going good! They are haze, and there is variety. 4 females, all have haze smells, but not quite as loud as I was hoping... but if they were from skunkman's original stocks and reproductions, that might make sense. one has a smell more fruity mangoish, one is just woody and nutty, one is more panama red smelling, which is kind of like lime and pine bakery adhesive, and one is very, very similar to Top Dawg's Uptown Brown, which is supposedly the piff smell... it doesn't look like uptown, but it does smell like it. They are branchy and can be quite bendy. two are pretty much ready to chop, and the other 2 will likely go either till the end of November or into December. looks are old school... I'll get more pics later, (i'm lazy...), but here is the one I decided to make seeds with... the size and structure reminds me of something from decades gone by...

I probably won't be able to give a full smoke report until the unseeded plants/buds are dry and ready to light up, which will probably be somewhere in January.

Do you have any pictures of other phenos SF. These look like they are some sort of haze x skunk back crossed to haze again. Did you find some of these sex out quite fast and some finish up quite fast. Im willing to bet when done indoors you can probably get these to trigger into flowering at 13-14 hours on to 11-10 hours off quite rapidly.

Doubt it. I'm on my 2nd or 3rd week after sprout and these things are lanky.

You got any pictures T macc please. First gen skunk haze was very lanky put back to haze maybe even more lanky. I maybe wrong, its just a thought.

The big one looks chunky, but the buds themselves are very whispy. There might be skunk in there, but I tend to think it's as real of a pure haze as you are going to find nowadays. The smells aren't really skunky at all. They really are hazey, and do have a churchy smell, but it isn't frankincense... More like old wood or something... The dried leaves would actually make a wonderful men's or women's fragrace- perfume or cologne or whatever- or even a great ambient scent, like incense or a candle or something... And the astringent carrot smell a lot of hazes have is there strongly too. The high is long lasting, and is almost identical to nl/haze, only more clear. I'll get some picture of dried buds. I suck at photography. The problem with haze, is that there are only a few people who might have the real thing anymore, and even with those people, there's a lot of uncertainty. I would have to go through more before saying definitively this is or isn't the stuff of old, but from what I've tried so far, it is very close. I didn't find the killer yet, but it is on point for haze. (Anyone growing these should know haze can be amazingly cerebral, but that has never been the often outcome.)

ahand to answer your other question about flower time, i don't think so... They take a long time to go into flower, and take a long time to finish flower.

@SFnone I have one more question. Do you have bud pics from the haze? I decided to mainline mine and flip to flower in 2 or 3 weeks

Hey, sorry, i just saw this.

Sorry again, but all I have left is seeded buds from the big above plant.

Here's a couple pics... flash no flash. Buds were bubbling out much more, but I learned the hard way to never cure seeded buds, and instead keep very dry, so the stuffs kinda falling apart, but hopefully it can still give some insight. This one in particular ended up with similar bud structure to a certain European haze lover's goods, only he's a fucking genius grower, and I'm just a very enthusiastic, but not so skilled, hobbiest. Even though I didn't find the one, all the haze plants from Todd I did smoke still beat over half the stuff i've had over the last 10 yrs in terms of high. I stand by my assessment that these are legit... or at least as legit as you'll find. The way I'm seeing it, there's probably only 4 people to offer true haze expressions right now, period. I'm sure there's some variation between them, but overall probably very similar. If Todd's isn't pure, it's close to it. (I think THH likely has thai in it... maybe it's even the same as thunk's mom...)


One more thing, this one had the widest leaves of the 5 plants I had. The male and one female really did have some pretty damn skinny leaves.

Has anyone received an email from authentic genetics about the nl5 being shipped?

BTW nice plants SFnone.

Should be soon!

I believe he said it would be sometime in April.

Of course, now that I've got NL5, NL1, and 89NL from AKBB, and NL2 from Deep Ellum, I'm not so super hot to get these but at least they are from Greg. That's gotta count for something.

Thanks.

I sent Todd an email today and this was his reply.

I am sorry to have to report that the Northern Lights #5 seeds will be going out late because I had to reset my rooms because I had my main panel meltdown, I was lucky that I caught it before it caused a fire, but it was a major repair and it totally f-ed up my schedule.

Because these will be late, I am offering you either a refund or if you wait, I will triple instead of double your order.

So if you ordered one pack of 11 seeds, you were going to get two packs of 11 seeds as a 2 for 1, and now because it is late, you'll get three packs of 11 seeds or simply a 3 for 1.

If you want to get a refund, that's no problem, I can process it back to you immediately.

You can later purchase the seeds at regular price if/when they are available on the menu in the future.

Just so you know, this is the third time I have done a pre-order: I did this in 2019 with original Haze and it went really well, I did it again in 2020 with original Skunk #1 and it did really well and everyone was really happy. So this is the third time I've done it, but it's the first time I ran into an electrical issue in over 10 years of growing in the same place.

So my sincerest apologies for the delay. With the interruption of the lights, I just felt like it would be better to reset rather than go forward and put out anything less than the highest quality possible.

Let me know - I hope you're having a good day.

Thanks for that update. I also have pre-ordered before and I have nothing but praise for Todd's professionalism. Yay, 3 for 1!

I do too, and a 3fer seems like a more than fair offer for the delay. Well, to me anyway.

Thanks for the update MickeyBlanco.

Checkin their site today and something might be wrong. The prices don't reflect the sale today and he said there was no code needed in the email. I wonder if he knows about this?

Good question

I noticed that also for about half the items after I already ordered and I sent him an email about it.

I went ahead and snagged everything else in his collection I didn't already have. $29 per pack (6 beans) is a steal.

Weird, I just looked again and nothing is discounted. I haven't seen a single item change yet.
