R2 weed

Burnedman · Jun 13, 2020

Sup boys. So i need an R2 clone (a trust worthy clone of the old clone of a clone of a clone R2 with the thin leaves from like 2001 before there were bastard R2's everywhere) I got a few cuts of it this year but all were either infested with thrips and or mites or weren't even rooted and none of them were coming inside my house and have not survived so i am back to square 1. I am willing to trade some cool stuff for it IF it's actually the original nasty toxic acadian R2 from the fuck back in the day. as for live plants I have barney's farm Afghan Hash Plant which is totally insane, Sensi's Early Girl, and tonnes of random seeds from barneys farm, HSO and THseeds like, amherst sour diesel, lemon thai kush, straberry glue, g13 haze, critical kush...i even have an unopened 5 pack of Liberty Haze by Barney's Farm. (worth over $70) that i would trade for an equal number of the oooooold no bullshit true R2. (This is for me, for my own personal medi/recri use and i plan to make this plant 1 of my 4 permanent residents.) Message me directly if you have what i need and can help me and we can chat about a trade.

I have some R2D2 (apparently another name for R2?) regular seeds made in NS... must be a bx or something, I'd be willing to trade if they were worth your while, hopefully growing them out soon, but I've never had pure R2 to compare, just cookies'n'cream x R2... let me know what you think, I'm having fun chasing this cultivar around.

yea thats pretty much the short form of the story. once the cut went from the acadian coast to the english communities it became a commercial crop and its fate was sealed. And the few guys who used to grow a hand full of 1000 plant sites every year never grew it to top notch and they had the maritime outty market pretty well in the bag with that cheap ass lesser then R2 shit. it turned a lot of people off to the strain and to outdoor in general.

that acadian cut still on the table? I've still got all that stuff I mentioned, plus some new gear on the way. hope your season's goin well

I was suprised to see this thread still alive / with posts from this year...

So to cut a long story short, UK grower who was in seek of old NL line's when a forum member elsewhere gifted me. R2 s1 beans (made in maine canada) i also got osme nice freezeland crosses from the same person, after researching my research brought me here.. Seems the r2 could well be a old afghani / haze? Im about to pop these beans

Hey man, your post is pretty much nailing it here. I love that it was a search for the old NL that lead to R2. Where are u from? I grew up in the Tantramar region of NB and i remember buying weed in cape pele in like 1998 the guys called Northern Lights but that was definitely the same shit everyone was calling R2 just a few years later. In 2002 a key figure in R2 history told me that R2 was a 3 way hybrid of NL2, Afghani and Thai Haze.
Here is a link about NL that actually addresses a lot of this stuff you mentioned in your post, which is basically exactly what i was told in 2002 by the guy who personally gave me the clone only R2 and told me never to give a cutting to anybody else.

The origins of Northern Lights

Northern Lights is one of those legendary strains of which everyone has heard about at some time. Coming from Afghani genetics, it became one of the most used strains to create new varieties. Today, hundreds of different hybrids have been developed from the Nrothern Lights, what demonstrates its...

anyone ever hear of this strain?

We smoked this in moncton, pretty potent weed, very skunky and harsh too (makes you cough) I think its a hybrid created localy, no one i know seems to know what the real name of the strain is... im sure theres another name for it

There was a user here.... I think his name is @getawaymountain...

Anyway he is from Maine and is also a breeder and makes organic teas as well.

He has a bunch of crosses using R2. And knows a lot about it's original origins. Hit him up!

The R2 Poison may be worth looking at for reference.

I have a R2 x Kushberry (peakseeds) cross that I made 3 years ago if anyone in Canada would like some for free. I ran some inside and out to see how they'd do . Some finished August 25th - Sept 30.
The R2 seems to pass on some semi-auto traits in some of the offspring. This one finished end of August and did go out til mid June. This had the smell of R2 but Kush structured buds. Real neat cross for outdoors

I have grown a couple of the r2p crosses outdoors, had great vigor and mold resistance. Did his skunk x r2p and g train haze x r2p.

I actually contacted the guy from getawaymountain in maine USA and he told me that his R2, which he breeds with, was acquired in NB Canada and beyond that he had no data on it.

Burnedman · Apr 18, 2021

Since 2018 I have been looking for the best living example of the R2 that became famous in NB around the early 2000's. It's actually the only reason i joined rollitup. Anyway, 3 years later I HAVE IT !!! I can trace the pedigree on this clone back 21 years through only 4 people, myself included, from the guy who gave it back to me this year 2021, to the guy he got it from in 2010, who is the guy I personally gave it to in 2010. And i was given it originally in 2005 by a key figure who acquired it directly from the source around 99/00... This is the one, the oldest living R2 clone from 21 years ago, traced back to 2000 through ONLY 4 PEOPLE. We will call this cut "Relic R2" to distinguish it from all the whack wannabe R2 crosses. As far as i know ONLY 5 people have this cutting.

Congrats on getting that cut back! Are you interested in sharing it at all? Very interesting leaf structure.

Don't let anyone tell you there's nothing like your first.

word up! I have this shit here OTW presently! wow she is true to form huh. I was telling KP about this shit this morning actually.

This thread seems only to really flare up in the spring time when everyone gets excited about growing outdoors...but if anyone is still interested in R2, i have been researching and backtracking her for 3 years now and after hacking through the disinformation and pre-internet tall tales i can tell you all with certainty now that Ak bean brains, Getaway mountain, Swami organic and WGFT all have the same R2 and all got their R2 from seeds from the same guy, a guy who moved to northern NB near the quebec border in 2002 and who used to work for the seed bank in holland and was actually close friends with Nevil himself. (shouts out to D for hoarding such valuable seeds for so long) He just gave me an assortment of actual "seed bank" and "sssc" genetics and has schooled me on this legend and some others. So according to him all new brunswick R2 is Northern Lights 2 x Skunk, and after 3 years of growing our random r2 clones there seem to be like 6 variations of it in the tantramar region. As much as you want your R2 to be "the original R2" it's not. It never was. Most of us have never even seen or burned the unskunked Northern Lights 2 R2 (i only ever saw buds of the real one like a dozen times in the 90's) Anyway I don't think there is much mystery left here. R2 is Northern Lights 2 just like i was told when i got the clone 20 years ago and just like I said in the 2011 "ladies and gentlemen" post from icmag that is copy and pasted on the 2nd page of this thread). Can't wait to pop these jewels!!!

Ilikesnacks · Jul 8, 2021

Woah. Thanks for that info. Deep ellum has northern lights 2 for sale and I think AG said they’d be releasing nl2 later this year as well.
