Hey all, first time post long time enthusiast.
A couple years ago i was gifted a jar labeled Northern lights #5 and dated 1998, containing about 30-40 seeds, not all of them look great but most seemed viable. I imediately picked out 10 strong looking ones and popped them. Only four germinated, they took longer to open up but after a few weeks they started to look strong next to the other seedlings i had going at the same time. I went through my usual routine and got them ready togo outside. Ive been an avid outdoor grower for the prior 6 years and felt real confident id have success this time around as well. As soon as they went outside they struggled and eventually i ended up pulling them to make room for others. I called my friend and told him what happened and he immediately replied with "i forgot to tell you thats an indoor only strain around here".
If anyone has any legit experience growing old school NL id love to strike up a conversation about it.. Also these are 20yr old seeds anyone have any legit experience working with anything that old?
Fast forward to today and i have a gotten out of the dark ages started taking this seriously and have a fully built and dialed in 5x5 indoorspace to veg and i am planning on finding a legit mother to keep in house for the long haul assuming shes real special. I plan on trying to germinate at least 15-20 of them. Will keep you posted as things progess. Who knows if i get lucky enough maybe itll turn into a breeding project.
Any old school heads recognize this label? Im very interested where they came from. Im told the jar was origanally a freebie from a breeder and about a quater of the way full when my friend got his hands on it in 2004.
