^^^ I'm interested in the BJ crosses, too. I've read that BJ has great pain relief, and I have pains, lol!
Can confirm, not from Useful’s cut, but IME blackjack has been both at helping me focus (ADHD) and allievating some back pain. One thing I have found that does wonders for my back pain are 1:1 CBD strains that still maintain decent potency. I got to try some of Rare Dankness “Harle Ghost Train (Harlequin x Ghost Train Haze)” and it did wonders. My hypotheses is the CBD reduces inflammation, indirectly decreasing pain while the THC helps with the actual pain itself. I could be wrong, but what I know to be fact, It alleviated my pain better than almost any other strain I have ever tried.

Has anyone on this thread ran both the Chem D x Choc D and the Orange Cookies x Choc D? How similar do they grow? I am running four plants under a 480w QB, and was just going to run 4 of the ChemxChoc first, and stage 4 of the OCxChoc to put into flower whenever I harvest the first four, but If they grow pretty similar to each other, I might try running two and two.

For clarities sake, I know that each plant can grow different, more asking in just a general sense. I’m not worried about having to adjust nutrient solution for different plants, I am more wondering if growing these two strains together is likely to cause me to have to do a lot more training so that my canopy gets closer to an equal spread of light.

ALSO, Any Northern Lights crosses coming in the near future? This has long been my all-time favorite for sleep, will settle for Sensi’s NL if I have to, but I seen an older cross that had NL in it, I would love to see something like an OC x NL or BOD x NL. Or even BBHP x NL.

@Useful Seeds what can I expect to see from the blackjack phenos? I've read that it's short and compact but I've also seen the other end of the spectrum with as much as 3x stretch
The Black Jack cut I have stretches about 75% in it's first 2-2.5 weeks of flower, I have had reports of her crossed with Chocolate Diesel stretching to 125%, the Blackened Oranges about 75-100%.

I do have NL # 5 seed stock, no immediate plans to be honest. I do have a long list that I am working on though.

Well, I would love to see it mixed with one of your other cuts, I would for sure buy it. I usually go for the sativa/sativa doms but I always keep at least some Indica on hand for nighttime, and it seems even the NL in dispensaries around me, dont seem to be real NL, or at least a wildly different pheno then any of the ones I’ve tried, including #5.

I do understand being busy though. I will keep an eye out. the more I think about it, the more I think that BBHP would be amazing with that.

In my humble opinion it’s difficult to take people that speak in superlatives seriously. There’s just not much room for the most, best, worst, ugliest, prettiest, etc. nor are there any finalities in breeding of cannabis. It’s not like any of the genetics are lost, they are bottlenecked. Selection pressure and large scale selection will be able to unravel the genetic pool given time and purposeful selection. That being said every other aspect of this topic is strictly defined as opinions and personal preference which is subjective at best. The only diverse remedy is to remove prohibition and let humans that love the herb exercise their passion! I think it was Derry from Barney’s farms that said that the “goulash people were making with modern cannabis genetics would eventually have to be dealt with.” I suppose it’s about time, those who care to, are, and in time others will too. There are many right here doing things like this, trying to make cannabis personal to themselves.

lol, I’m high....... Hahahaha

The last good NL I got was from Sensi. It was legit NL, at least how I remember NL (my uncle has a cut of NL from genetics that he has kept for over two decades now) but I don’t really like ordering from international seed banks anymore. This may be in my head, but IME, the seeds I get from good U.S. breeders seem to have more vigor and better germ rates than the seeds Ive gotten from the breeders in Europe. I’m sure this has more to do with how long theyve sat in the seedbanks and shipping conditions than the breeders themselves, but still, add the fact that I don’t have to worry about my seeds getting held up in customs and it seems like a no brained, at least for me personally, to stick to domestic breeders when possible. I’ve got a small group of guys here in the good ol U S of A that I buy from, which now includes Useful.

Small tester of tranquil chocolate offered a fully body experience and great night of sleep with effects still lingering upon awakening. Great for stress, appetite, sleep issues etc. thanks @Useful Seeds . Right up my alley. Bruised banana coming your way my friend. (Black jack x banana OG). Looking forward to future offerings
Man, that banana OG cross ought to be awesome. I wish I could have picked up some of the banana seeds, I think I read somewhere he doesnt plan on running anymore of those, I may be wrong though.

lol, hazes being potent, that is kinda funny, lol. I feel the same way you do, but about hazes and skunks, lol. They aren't around anymore because they don't check all the boxes, no matter how many are lookin for RKS. But the haze comment is funny, the reason you don't see many hazes is because they aren't strong enough and these days, many other options for speed weed, than them old long flowering weak buzz, airy hazes, lol. Lots of selective breeding brought out the best of many strains, lol. Mentions two breeders, lol. Grow a few more to compare to, then get back to us. Also, grow some of Usefuls, ChemD or Choc D crosses and get back with us when you do that. @BDGrows
Since when is Haze not potent? I'd take a pure thai or haze over any cookie, chem, og whatever modern strain. People don't grow them because a pure haze will take 20+ weeks to finish flowering and isn't going to yield well unless you have the space outdoors for a 16ft+ plant

Agreed. One also needs to do a great deal of sifting for the right pheno. And when you find that that right pheno, it can be incredibly unique and powerful.
My all time favorite plant was a original haze x skunk1 from a pack of freebies that i got my hands on about 17 years ago. Went 14-16 weeks. Wildly euphoric and long lasting. Oh how i miss her so.

I have some packs of BCSC NL#5 that Bodhi did a seed increase in open pollination form some time ago.
I still have quite a few f2 OP beans from the Noof cut x BCSC NL5 line if you want some more stock to sift through, I'd be glad to send you 20-50 or so.

The '89 noof x bcsc nl5 is the best representation of NL that I've seen in almost 20 years.
