Old Skool Basic #5

[stAx]

She is a great plant to grow. guess the cutting has been in the NewEngland circa for some time now and it was a pleasure to grow and smoke. She had a short blocky stature for a sativa dom pheno and the high is just amaze.

Im sure some of the old skool heads remember this smoke, has a familiar stink considering the skunk and Nl lineage. welp i may have picked a tad early but the next go i will let her run til 65 or so maybe even 70. thanks for looking

close STax but not quite....

Basic #5 is a NL...
"Basic #5 Hybrid" is a NL#5xSk#1 hybrid....you have the hyb bro but not Basic#5...looks decent....Im sure its great herbs..but Basic#5 is no Sativa by far in my book which would be the Skunk showing thru.....

M39 Skunk #1 crossed with the Basic 5. This hybrid was a harvest festival winner in its first year! The Basic 5 is a female clone which has been cultivated successfully in Holland for quite some years and which has demonstrated it's value very well in indoor growing as well as in outdoor growing. The female Basic 5, which proved to be the best during commercial cultivating, has been chosen by us to be the seed mother for this hybrid. The Basic 5 is a small, solid and thickset indica plant with heavy buds, covered plentifully with resin. So, suited very well for indoor growing, the high is extremely heavy. This hybrid assures excellent results for both indoor and outdoor growing. Using the plantlet method, an indoor yield of 2000 grams (more than 4 lbs.!) per square meter per year is possible. These yields can be increased still further (up to 1/3) by flowering cuttings when they are only 6 inches tall. Harvest outdoors: Oct. 1." � SSSC, 1987 catalog

�I believe Basic 5 was simply a name SSSC used in the place of NL#5 because, at that time, Northern Lights wasn't yet a "household name". This would mean that M39 = NL#5/SK#1 = ShivaSkunk.
I grew M39 back in the late 80's and I have been growing ShivaSkunk during the past couple of years.Taking genetic variation into consideration, they seem to be the same plant...although my memories of M39 are of a slightly superior plant - it's probably just nostalgia.
Sad story: When my ex-wife and I moved into our ex-house, I had a vial with a dozen M39 cannabis seeds stashed in a box of old books. She was cleaning the basement one day and found the seeds. She showed them to me and I acted like I didn't remember putting them there. She turned around and threw them in a pan of bacon frying on the stove. I don't miss HER at all - but I SURE wish I still had those SEEDS.
I worked for SSSC for two years in the mid 80's. I never asked "Kees" exactly what Basic 5 was...though now I wish I did because I've lost touch with him over the years. I can't say for SURE if it's NL#5, but I had that impression.� - MrSoul

Oh what I would do for some Beatrix choise and Friesland Indica, they dont say in the catalog what the make up of Friesland is...do you know? That basic is still floating around where I live, and in florida I hear...Too bad all the BS with the sk#1 guess will have to wait on Sam Skunkman to put out a new batch...krk

Im having a little trouble trying to beleive that and whats the deal with per square meter per year??????

 

[englishrick]

im gona hunt for the NL5 clone in holland soon

 

[BENJI]

Is that clone still getting round...?

stAx nice pics bro ...

 

[englishrick]

when i lived in amsterdam in 00/01, i got to know some people who talk about nevil like a brother,,,,im wondering if his NL 5 is still in the hands of 1 of the guys,,,i saw some real nevils haze once from 1 of them,,,it looked exactly like the Nevils Haze from the Greenhouse in 00,,,,an this was in 03 when i visited

 

[O.G.#1]

makes me want to pop my last Basic Diesels from Rez!

 

[BENJI]

Nice rick 6 years has passed since then do u think he'll still have it...?

 

[englishrick]

i still see the same guys when i visit

but yeh,,,im flipin slow man

 

[stAx]

Hey thanks all for stopping thru =)

F420 bro thanks for the info there man, i did not look into her backround much and also didnt ask much about her when received. It did strike me odd that a supposed NL#5 would be so satty dom..? any who she is a great smoke for me. i like the high.

i didnt even trim this gal, she dried up nicely and was painless to get her into the jars.

Seems like a good way to compare strains with different flowering times.

np sTax......thing is you got 2 damn fine lines ya know.....But even tho I love talkin NL or NL5 or whatever its still one of The Most Commercial Lines out there....To me NL is a Basic hyb of a Afghan x Kush than Bx'd or bred forward...But no matter as its still just a 2 ways hyb making a excellent hybrid..
Its when some later used other varieties to try and Increase its already powerful yield and potency...But by doing that they changed the whole make up of the most simple perfect thing in that first base Hybrid...

Now whats even better is Skunk......Now Sam did thngs that most Breeders dont do...He actually Bred shit!!!.....But thats not what makes Skunk First Class genetics....Its the way it works together in combo with its own multi-hybrid...
Its a Stabilized fantastic Breed more or less and not just a basic Hybrid like NL5...
Now if you want the Power and its a lil more Skunk than give her 10-12+wks as Skunks need Space n Time but will whoop everything in the place if you give it just that..
I wish Sam would come out and talk on Skunk more...Its that damn good and is just over shadowed by other wana be New Strain Hype...
You always gata read between the lines now a days and as soon as you do you sure will see a different light very quickly...

Now those seeds are still interesting..did you get any Indica phenos?...Ive always questioned Breeding methods and parent lines so if the NL was Mother it should show more often in f.1's...If your seeing Skunk more than it was Dom and either the NL is that Faint inthe hybrid or the Skunk was the mother....Just another way to decipher Lines of a hybrid when workin it out....Good luk with them and just keep rollin it

hey man, thanks for the words of encouragement. i have always respected your knowledge of genetics and appreciate the insight brutha. yes it does not seem like it has any "sweet' skunk in it at all, but has the classic skunk #1 type smell and a bit of pineish to go with it.

im gonna take that advice and let her run a bit longer, she does seem like a 10 weeker to me and i took at day 60..doh! every1 has been loving the foxy appearance and everyday the jars are stinking a bit more fierce. still odd to see a satty with minamal stretch orr sidebranching, did i mention i am loving the high. cheers

Basic5

Basic5

I have had this cut since 98'. I got it from my friends dad who has had it since 91' when he received it as a cutting. I have always(since 98) known this as the Basic5, but what are the chances of the real Basic5 being grown by some good ol' boys in Appalachia? How would they have Neville's NL5 cut and call it B5? Or maybe someone got lazy and dropped the skunk#1 from Basic5/Skunk#1. Who knows? Any suggestions? It tastes very similar to the NL5 that I tried. It wouldn't be that hard for the original NL5 cut to be floating around North America seeing as that is where it originates ,but how would it get the European name?

i am also eager to know the truth!

I love this combo as it has been in a few of Rez's hybrids for some time. It is sweet/skunky with That beautiful smell.
(Basic Diesel,Gonzo#2)

Hit G-13 clone with Gonzo#2 pollen and is growing nicley in the Cali sun.


Props to those who have kept this strain going
