My 2 girls are 10w under 12/12, while the 3rd is going on 6w:
Tallest shows the most yellowing, but still has a ways to go. No amber yet. Fruity aroma.
The other 70 day girl is further along with beautifully purpling. Has a nice STANK to it. No fruity smells here.
Trichomes are coming along nicely. Mostly cloudy
with a nice start of ambering. I’m gonna give her 5-7 more days of no water.
3rd and last is The Runt that has taken its time and has stay squat with some nice bud structure:

77 days tomorrow and I’m gonna call it on the midsized purplish example of the NL5Haze x Zunami.
I’m starting to see tri heads falling off/bare stalks so that’s enough of that!!!
She’s STANKY FRUIT. Pungent.
While the taller, lankier and naturally defoliating example shows tons of white, the trichomes say differently.
Ambering has started. I’ll
her next week at 12w.Attachments

2nd Northern Zunami will be harvested tomorrow at 87 days. Long flowering for a plant mid-sized, though bugs are nice sized. More Hazey than fruity smelling and buds also show Haze genetics of nubs/tiny nipplez…
Northern Zunami 1 was harvested 8 days ago and just finished its Cannatrol cycle of dry & cure. IT’S CRAZY HOW GOOD THIS BUD SMOKES AFTER 8 DAYS!!!
Moist and firm buds with the same pungent fruit smell on bud break up.
Smoked tastes super fruity, dare I say grapes.
DELICIOUS 
Just sampled a small, finger joint size bud.
High isn’t too strong/debilitating.
Which is a great thing because the way this taste you definitely wanna smoke more. On that note…

Hello MNS Family,
After waiting a while for things to dry, cure and be ready to sample I now feel able to provide an accurate smoke report on the Northern Hazami plants that I have had the pleasure to work with over the last 5 months.
Pictured are some of the smaller buds which I feel give an accurate representation of resin levels and colour profiles of all three phenotypes I worked with.
I tend not to overly trim buds that are for personal consumption as it is fairly pointless and means that I am handling the buds and potentially knocking resin glands off when for myself there really is no need.
A few key points -
- All plants were grown indoors under HPS lighting.
- 100% organic soil mixed with 25% worm castings, a sprinkle of dolomite lime and a small amount of added perlite for aeration.
- Nutrients were from the Canna range - Vega and Flores and were used sparingly so I could assess the plants in a more 'natural state'
- pH range from 6.0-6.4
- Lighting regime of 11.30 ON and 12.30 OFF
#1
This plant was / is an absolute beast. It stinks to high heaven in veg and likes to really 'grow' for it. Unfortunately with this desire to grow comes a predisposition towards fibre as much as flower so this is something that would need to be really dialled in to ensure that the plant is producing as much bud as possible and not putting excess energy into vertical node building. Yield potential is good - I just need to figure out the best way to tweak it into maximum bud formation.
Flowering times ran around 73 days with a second run of clones finishing around a week earlier.
Aroma - spicy haze with a hint of citrus fruit - mainly lime and orange and also a note of vanilla. Incense and strong haze smell when burned or vaped.
Flavour - slightly hazy with a beautiful taste of orange peel which coats the mouth and fills the senses.
High - top shelf. The high is up, euphoric and clear and can cause fits of laughter. It is weed to get things done on and puts you in a positive place whilst chores are completed. The smoke is perfect for a day time vibe and in social situations. As the buzz begins to wane after a couple of hours there is no burnout. You are simply back from a magical mind journey. There is also a more reflective side when consumed at higher doses which can lead to some serious mind wandering.
Would I keep this strain? I am still undecided due to the sheer scale of height increase and its natural disposition towards rapid fibre production. Outdoors may well suit this plant better. Clones are currently being maintained and retested indoors before any decisions are made.
#2
The most indica leaning of the three I ended up with. This particular plant liked to remain short and stocky with minimal flowering stretch and pole like growth which make it an excellent SOG candidate.
Flowering times ran around 78 days so despite it's leaning towards the indica side of things in terms of growth it actually went a few days longer than #1 and #3 which showed far more sativa tendencies. You have to love variation!
Aroma - berry, berry and more berry. She reminded me very much of an ASH plant I had a few years back AND one of the G13AC test plants I ran that also leaned towards the indica side of things.
Flavour - easy one this - strawberry and blueberry with a hint of citrus.
High - initially there is a twinkle in the eyes as the high starts to build. This is followed by a gloriously languid and trippy feeling where one is happy and at peace with the world. It is not a day ender but it has already caused me to change plans more than once. There is real power to be found in this particular plant and I would describe the high as a balance between indica and sativa with a slight indica dominance. I enjoy this strain in an evening when anything serious I have to do has either already been completed or can be left for another time.
Would I keep this strain? Probably not in this instance although I do still have clones and have a second run well underway to make sure that I can be truly sure.
#3
The more balanced grower of the three. This plant initially struggled in germination and was a fair way behind the other two. However, once it became established it really took off. Compared to the other two it is a good solid yielder which came with it's own issues - namely mould after a cold and wet spell in May. The clones I have since run have had no such issues so I am confident it was a grow room error rather than any major susceptibility to mould. This plant turns purple regardless of temperature and is an absolute stunner. She also produces more resin than either #1 or #2.
Flowering ran around 74 days with clones being at least a week quicker.
Aroma - oranges and haze. Delightful to smell - I often find myself with my nose in this particular jar marvelling a the unique scent it gives off. A family member remarked that it smelled of 'wood' and fruit when vaped which is something I can totally agree with.
Flavour - a hot orange drink combined with cedar and sandalwood notes. It coats the mouth and leaves me wanting more.
High - boom! This particular plant is high energy and almost a little on the speedy side. She opens the doors of the mind and can cause some quite trippy sensations. Great for a quiet day somewhere in nature, not so good in a supermarket or in situations where making sense is important. I prefer the more mellow vibe of #1 but this lady certainly has her place.
Would I keep this strain? I still have her for further tests so watch this space.
I hope I have done these strains justice in my review.
It has been a pleasure to once again try something new and different and to be able to pass fair and honest judgement without bias or external pressure.
So thank you to @musashi and @shantibaba for the opportunity to test run these seeds.
It is a tick from me though I feel that on a personal level I am more suited to 50%+ haze strains. Bring on something with mango next time.
Keep it green.

Many thanks @Fish.
#3 is a great plant to grow and she certainly looks the part. The smoke / vapor is also very impressive.
Mind you, the other two are very worthy in their own right. Touch decisions in terms of what to keep or not.
At least I feel like I'm now ready for the summer to come around for some lazy hazy beach days.

Many, many thanks @easty.Great write up @The Flea and those buds look amazing
All the buds are dripping in resin and have a range of autumnal colours, so not difficult to make them look good.
The next time the sun comes out I'll try and take some better quality pictures in natural light to hopefully really show them off in all their glory.
Keep it green.

Definitely a nice problem to have there! Well done on the grow mate

Finally, my testers have been flipped to flower! Last night, after 50 hours of dark period, I set the light schedule to 12/12. I am beside myself with excitement to finally be at this stage.
Out of 6 beans, 5 popped. The Nl5HzZunami's were some of the easiest bonsai moms to take care of. The cuttings I took from them, for new mums, rooted in a glass of tap with clonex within 9-11 days. 4/5 had large roots by the 9'th day, with #3 taking a few days longer. #1 has the best roots I've ever seen, btw.
There is some variance among the 5 with heights ranging from 19"-26", light green to medium/dark leaves. Depending on the pheno and section of plant, they grow 5-7 fingers.
@The Flea @Skuncle Lenny your plants looked incredible! You both have me so excited to see what these ladies are capable of.
Thank you @shantibaba for the opportunity to test out this cross.
I'm sorry for no pics, but my computer is currently out of service. I'll post pictures as soon as I'm able to. I hope everyone is having an amazing day.

Hello fellow Forum Family Members. Here are some photos of the girls 3 weeks into flower.

5HzZu#2
5HzZu#3
5HzZu#4
5HzZu#5
Even though she is the shortest and least wide, by far, 5HzZu#4 has currently got me the most excited. She was the first pheno to show any frost and has the most trichs forming on her fans and sugar leaves. Speaking of leaves, her fingers are slightly wider than the others. Below the canopy level, her bud sites aren't filling in as much as I'd like, but her tops have some of the thickest pistils and looks like she may build some nice chunky buds.

The testers are filling the tent with a wonderfully fruity Starburst/Skittles aroma. I'm going to pick up a bottle of Aperol tomorrow. I need to taste some and see if @The Flea is right about the flavor/smell.
.
I gave them their last and second flowering stage defoliation. Afterwards, I decided to dust a branch of each pheno with some freshly collected pollen from my Z7HzAC male. I wrapped a Ziplock onto the branch after and sprayed off the rest of the plant. One or two plants are having pistil coloration on non-pollinated branches. I hope that I did an adequate job of preventing unwanted pollination.
#1 is the only one not putting out much of an aroma yet, nor showing as much frost. She is a taller pheno but is building great budsites. #2 smells great and is building productive and frosted bud sites. #3 has some of the slimmest leaves, least frost, and isn't as productive yet. #4 is atm, still my favorite. Despite her small stature she is the most frosted thing in the tent and smells the strongest. All of the plants are going to yield well. I even think that dainty miss #4 will still produce an adequate amount of dense and frosted nugs. #5 is humming along, doing her thing.

How's it going, fellow Forum Family Members? Here is a group shot of the girls in their tent, including their flat mates . The plant in the back right is my Z7HZAC, the back left is a ShitAfgHz. The scents are a bit mellow, atm. There were multiple days over the last few weeks that they experienced temps as high as the mid 90's. I assume the high temps have dampened their aroma a bit. Several are using up the reserves of nitrogen in their leaves and beginning to yellow. I'm going to give them a dose of organic bloom fertilizer then let them survive on kelp and molasses, until flush. Btw, I finally picked up some Aperitivo spritz. Really good! I can totally see why this was compared to the 5HzZu, very similar profile. Some of my girls put off an herbal citrus bitterness very reminiscent of this cocktail.
Here are two shots of #4. Apologies for no photos of the other phenos. I quickly took these photos a few days ago when I was working on the plants. #4 has really been standing out to me as an exceptional plant. She is the shortest of the bunch, with only one other pheno out of 5 being short. She frosts up early and has discernable scents sooner. It looks like she may be the fastest of the bunch, I'll have to wait and see. She has some buds, which you'll see in the center of the first photo, which bear a striking resemblance to my only SSH pheno to have "chunky" pyramid shaped flowers. Enjoy!

Hello. It looks like I may have accidentally taken a photo of 5HzZu#3 when I'd meant to take a pic of ShitAfgHz. Since I had a pic of another tester pheno, I've decided to post it.
I'll take pics of the whole lot, individually, within the week. Here's the photo of who I think is #3.
