Two names from the Seed Bank era

Both go back to the 1980s Amsterdam seed trade. Neville’s 1987 Seed Bank catalog listed G-13 as one of the best breeding plants in its collection, and Leafly says Northern Lights was propagated out of Holland after 1985 at what is now Sensi Seeds.1,6 Northern Lights has its own guide in the Official Cannabis network at northernlightsstrain.com.
