Hello everyone. I've grown out a few NL99's and just wanted to chime in
It's my favourite strain, and for a number of reasons, but it does have its (often ignored) down sides.
The wonderful fruity smell you get while growing doesn't stick around after a cure. The taste however, does.
The strain is not as "up" as a lot of people would believe, likely by influence of the C99 in its title. It's one of the hardest knock out strains I've smoked in my life, especially near the end of the high. C99 is not a pure sativa, and NL is far from it. Even skunk #1 is uppier and more psychological (in my experience).
They are fairly uniform in general, but I grew out 4 most recently, and none were identical, I could tell them apart - ie: leaf profiles, height, smell (they all smelled a little different. The same thing happened my first time as well.
Now, onto the good side:
It's potent as hell. Nothing more I need to elaborate on that really.
It matures fast and is extremely easy to grow. I grew it on my first grow, and it was easier than growing grass (the real kind) :) - That was inside a PC too.. take a look if you want: International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - NL x C99 Computer Case Grow .
There is no odor at all.. not even low.. but none. Fantastic for stealth purposes. It matures quickly as well.
All in all, good stuff, but approach it with an objective nature that some Joey Weed fans may be missing (eg: I think Image Reaper/Road Cam/Other psuedonym here, is affiliated with them, his picture is the one used in the breeder description, and he's plugged it on every pot site I've come across on the internet). Not to say that in an offensive way.. just keep objective people. Later.
