NL5 x Afghan (Mr. Nice) regular

Say you want to stop buying packs every run and keep your own mother instead. That's the job these seeds do. You pop a pack of Mr. Nice, sex the plants, cull the males or keep one for pollen, then clone the female you liked best. If that sounds like homework you didn't sign up for, our wider cannabis seeds range has feminized options like Skunk XL, which hits around 650g/m² in 7-8 weeks without a single male in the tent.

Old-School Genetics, Sold the Old-School Way

Regular Seed Means You Do the Sexing

Roughly half of what comes up will be male. You spot them in weeks 3-4 of flower and pull them, or you park one in a separate space and collect pollen for your own cross. Our own texts name Nevil and Shantibaba as the breeders behind these lines, and the Walkabout pack is literally sold as a selection to walk through until you find a keeper worth cloning. Watch out for the space cost: you need to start more plants than you'll finish, and you need to check them daily once flowering starts.

Skunk #1, NL#5, White Widow and a True Haze

Shark Shock crosses Skunk #1 with White Widow. Super Silver Haze pulls Northern Lights, an original Haze and a Skunk into one plant, and it has been collecting awards since the 90s. Mango Haze runs Northern Lights #5, Skunk and a true Haze, and the sweet mango smell off the main cola is not marketing, it fills a room. Shit is an original Skunk crossed with an ancient Afghani, the same plant other breeders later sold as Skunk #1. Ortega is NL#1 x NL#5, peppery on the nose with a fruity berry taste, and Nordle comes from the Naturals, Old School Genetics series, named after the Afghani hash they called Nordle.

Haze Stretch or Afghan Squat, Pick for Your Space

Critical Skunk finishes in 6-8 weeks and can push 650-800g/m² indoors, though outdoors its aroma travels, so choose your spot with that in mind. NL5 x Afghan stays compact and gives 500-750g/m² in 7-9 weeks. G13 x Skunk does 500-650g/m² in 7-9 weeks on a plant that barely stretches, with some phenotypes wanting a tenth week. Super Silver Haze takes 9-10 weeks, and Spice wraps in about 8 but grows tall, so SOG or ScrOG keeps it manageable. Walkabout is one for outdoor or greenhouse space, since the sativa in it gets awkward under a light.

What We'd Put in the Cart First

Building a mother room? Start with Critical Skunk. It's forgiving, fast, and easy to clone. Chasing that old coffeeshop stone, go for Shit or Medicine Man, both around 8 weeks with dense, calm-smoking buds. Shark Shock is the easy first regular if you've only grown feminized before. One thing to stay on top of across the whole shelf: the tightly packed Afghani-leaning buds on Critical Mass, NL5 x Afghan and G13 x Skunk hold moisture, so keep humidity down late in flower and get air moving through the canopy. Most people hunting the Mr. Nice seedbank come looking for Super Silver Haze, and it's still the one we'd hand a Haze fan with 10 weeks of patience.
