Hello Shanti, I have a question regarding the Ortega line.
Do you know if Nevil used the USNL#5 cutting in this cross? Or did he use his NL#5 cut?
I would think he would've crossed it to NL#1 and maybe NL#2 to find a better NL#5 or something similar to his, in other words rengineer/reconstruct his NL#5.Do you think Nevil would of wasted his efforts breeding to the US' nl5 that he reckons was mud?
Reconstruct his NL5 cut from the US cut and a nl2/nl1 stud?I would think he would've crossed it to NL#1 and maybe NL#2 to find a better NL#5 or something similar to his, in other words rengineer/reconstruct his NL#5.
Maybe to explore the line more?
I know there's a post here somewhere claiming Nevil's NL#5 x NL#1 uses the USNL5 cutting.
Which is what prompted me to ask my question.
I can understand why people want to preserve the line now.
But Nevil was using his original to develop other stuff with back then.
He says one of the things he enjoyed about her was that she didn't dominate the chemotype or terps too much, but seemed to add a lot of resin and formation to the cross.
He also is quite clear how little he rated the US line.
Everybody wants to believe there are amazing old cornerstone genetics preserved out there, just waiting to be tapped in to.
That's ok to believe something is possible, it's called faith.
When you want to continue to believe something when evidence is around to disprove you, then it's now just delusion, unfortunately.
I was speaking s bit more generalised about the delusion.That's where you're misunderstanding me. I am not posting statements, I am merely asking questions to understand more. There's no delusion here buddy.
Nevil's NL#5 is better suited for breeding rather then smoking, which is what I use her for.
You made a very valid point that has convinced me to trash my NL#5 mother and all my building block strains . From now on I will only buy Runtz, Dosi, Cookie, (enter hype garbage name here) genetics.NL5 who cares , much better stuff to be grown . NL5 made it's way across America in clone form from closet to closet for years ,old news . Who knows if the northwestern boys even gave Nevil a true NL5 clone .
I hope you figure out what you are looking for

There are so many fine cultivars to choose from these days. Old timers would have wet their pants and lost their minds trying to decide. The Grail is whatever you want it to be. Follow your bliss and don’t forget to share!
