lesson not over yet, imagereaper, CBN is what happens when THC starts to degrade. CBD only comes into play when the THC and CBN has been squeezed and damaged by force and light to create CBD which is even less psycoactive the CBN.

Well by the mis information you've been giving in this thread alone, you sure wouldn't know it. So again were did you get that 'information' about those strains from?

when discussing strains, I think its more important to consider its ORIGIN, as every breeder adds something to the mix,which further confuses things ... true, NL#1, NL#5, etc., have been hybridized with sativas to some extent, over the years, but the original Northern Lights, for example, is a 100% indica first grown out, and named, in Seattle WA quite a few years ago ... I'm not getting into a pissing contest about this, and this strainguide isn't all that informational, as most aren't ... I can grow out a plant, and name it anything I choose ... after all, nobody REALLY knows what theyre growing or smoking, you're always taking someone else's word for it ... I'm done here, you have a nice day ... :smokin:

"Northern Lights used to be a 100% indica, specifically a highly inbreed Afghani. It never became stable like Skunk #1 and around 1978 was crossed multiple times with Skunk #1 and Haze in a attempt to stablize it. So therefore nowadays it isn't a 100% indica, just indica dominant."

So if you admit this fact than whats up with the, "northern lights is a straight indica"?

Yes, thats what I was saying the Orginal NL that we knew was a 100% indica. But now-a-days that isn't true as everything from our time has been 'watered down'. It was around 30 years ago to be more specific. Skunk #1, Haze and Northern Lights all came to Europe by clone only females, around 1978. Meaning that the europians had to make seeds by crossing those clone only females with some other local strain, which has been done God only knows how many times. They have continued this system of 'watering down' with most strains out today. Thats why I would not advice buying seeds from European companies if you're looking for a stable uniform consistant strain. Your completely right about strainguides and mostly right about people can name anything plant they want anything. The all the information that I pass on to others is what I know for a fact to be true, I've done all the research on, talk to the experts, (a few in person) and have found to be tried and true before passing on to others. I respect your decision not to get 'into a pissing contest' about this, I feel the same and this will be the last I post about this subject. I hope we can continue to help others (maybe even each other) to grow better cannabis. And you have a nice day as well. :thumbsup:

I agree with all you just said, ... I should have pointed out to him, that the original version probably isn't relevant these days, likely rare to find ... you have a good attitude .. like me, you are only here to help ... :thumbsup: , :smokin:
