No. I screwed up and am fixing it now. They are the original NL genetics from Steve Murphy. Todd McCormick made the cross, pollinating an original SD fem he has had for years, with an NL1 male.

His goal was to reel in the SD stretch, reduce flower time, and carry forward all the SD terps.

I’m hoping for all that, and a nice male pheno to cross with my Widow. :slight_smile:

Time for a little pheno hunt, I plan on buying those. I’ve run his stuff seems pretty good, actually have la kush cake and skywalker og going now.

Yep. When you pop a seed and it looks exactly like the picture in the 30 year old book, I’d say it’s “authentic”.

Good stuff really, and being old genetics, perfect for breeding too. :slight_smile:

Ok just checked tonight and my skywalker og is a male. I guess I’m gonna make the tent have his babies. Then let the pheno hunt begin. I’ve been starting different crosses and bred them with something. My clones in there are black valentine, trix, superboof, black cherry buff, blood moon gelato, Indiana bubblegum, honey Styx, blue dream, bernscotti, also platinum flambé, la kush cake

Day 10, transplant complete (see pics above).

6" Grodan “Hugo” blocks soaked in 1/4 strength nutrients at 5.7pH.

Each block holds just under 1/2 gallon of water. Grodan holds roughly 30% air in a soaked cube. Unless the plants say otherwise, we may not need to water again until moving into the flower tent.

Day 11, so far, so good (see pics above).

They’re currently sitting in a Spider Farmer Plant Stand, roughly 8" from two light bars, getting approximately 200μM of light on an 18/6 DLI.

They’ll continue to get 1/4 GH Flora 3-part if needed, or stronger if they show the need.

Looking nice and happy in there, interesting different leaf shape

I know, right? I haven’t seen that in decades and I’m excited!

Old landrace indicas had the classic short, fat, “maple” shaped leafs just like this. Back in the 90s, every now & then I’d get an NL #5 pheno that would do this exactly.

It’s for sure showing it’s indica side exclusively, which is where we know the sour traits come from, which is exactly what I’m looking to bring forward in the cross.

I’m giddy just thinking about the potential here! :pink_heart:
