Thanks all, for your comments,encouragement and curiosity.
I'm hesitant to do too much of a smoke report in regards to effect.
I have a pretty high tolerance.
I smoke and eat quite a bit, most all the time when I'm not at work.
In the day I prefer a hybrid, leaning to sativa a little.
At night, before bed, that's when the Indica is best for me.
(I call this Indica,but it has 25% skunk,which also has at least 25% Indica in it. That brings the over all percent to about 82% Indica. If it worked like that.)
The catalog says,"The strength of combining different land races of Afghanistan into a plant leads to strong flavors and fruitiness fast flowering compact plants"
When I use it I feel the effects of the Indica side.
Living in the San Francisco area,there is a "pot shop" on every corner.
Some of the medicine they provide is top notch elite clone stuff.(Some provide good clones too,some with bugs also)
I know those types of genetics are impossible to duplicate on a consistent basis through regularly sexed seeds. So it's hard to compare this nl5af to them.
But I will try.
Now that the nl5xaf is cured properly it is very good.
When I open a jar I get a berry and mild juniper scent,with some underlying spices I can't identify. Deep an complex.
Smoking,the first thing I notice is the hashy taste. Like there is hash in the joint.
The next thing,as I hold my toke,I feel in between my ears ,a bit of tingly numbness as my lungs expand and I hold back from coughing. On exhale I feel it go down my spine and everywhere else from there. I have a light taste of berries in my mouth.
The high is quick and pleasant . As the high goes on it turns to a stone.
In a pleasant way. I just don't do anything once I start smoking this stuff. Watching a movie and eating is very good.(if I don't nod off)
Good body effect.
To give it a grade....
If the O.G.Kush(from real clones) I grew four years ago was a 5, this is a 4+, for effect.
The smell,after the cure,give it a 5 (nothing like it around here).
My yield was no better than my bubba kush or la confidential grows,but my light bulb was old and my nutes were weaker than they should have been.
This is just my experience. Yours will be different. Don't make a decision based only on my review,compare.
Thanks all for reading,
Regards and peace,

The batch I'm doing now is with the new light bulb,stronger nutes and the plants were topped twice each. I'll be comparing the yields,new to old.
If you are growing this strain,they love to eat! I'm giving the full recommended dilution rate. Normally it's half or a third.
