No mailing lists yet, we'll do that as a drop approaches.
We crossed the 5x2 into the old 5 clone, selecting parents from that now. Also crossed into some random indicas like White Bubbba and a Ghost OG x Scott's OG that I found last year, also Stardawg x Tahoe... couple others maybe, I need to look.
Coastal Seeds is absolutely worth looking into, I really respect and admire what that whole crew is doing. I've never heard of those other companies, so I can't speak to that.
Also pollinated NL5 with my favorite pure sativa, Destroyer, which basically produced new version of the NL5Haze. All the exceptional phenos have been tasty and very potent, some even approximating the effect of a pure sativa. Flavor ranging all over the place, sour, sweet, anise, piss, incense, sweet artificial cherry, tutti fruity, lemon/lime effervescent.... some smell the way I imagine citrus would smell if all the fructose were removed.
Also made Destroyer x (5x2), and NL5 x Willie Nelsonf2... We're testing those next.
My other favorite sativa is a Willie Nelson form original stock, the Highland Nepali HP pheno, crossed to the male 5x2 should make for some killer hybrids. Testing those too, following a quick re-build.
