These were freebies thrown in from AGS. Anyone know? How are they any good, any info or stats would be appreciated. What does NLX stand for?

Peace

Norther Lights x White Widdow, as I've been told.

In general, the X just means it was outcrossed.
Not sure exactly what AGS is sending out as freebies but some shorthand-
NL=nothern Lights
WW= white widow
X= cross (it's an F1 hybrid)
IBL= inbred line (stable)
F2= 2nd generation hybrid, much phenotypic variation, good for choosing the perfect mother
BX=backcross, taking an F2 or F3 hybrid, picking the perfect pheno, and then backcrossing it to one of the original parents of the hybrid to stabilize
uh....there's more but I'm not bored enough to post them atm lol.

e-mail Alien, they may tell you, if they're not too busy - my assumption is : it is a Northern Lights crossed (x) with an unknown accidental daddy, I say this because seedbanks usually discount, or give away, the resulting seeds when this type of thing happens - labeling it this way, (NLX), is an honest description of the seed genetics

ROFL!
That's true!
I never thought that a seedbank would be that sloppy though!
Then the next thing I'd ask myself... geez, NL x?
Don't they have something more interesting to get knocked up by mistake!? If I want a bastard cross, the known parent had better be something unusual!!!!!
:D

yup - about a year ago, Hemp Depot had a new employee toss 50 seeds into the wrong bin, of 500 seeds, so they gave them all away as freebies - good, honest folks, I can think of several other 'seedbanks' that wouldnt have been so particular
