Waco
Also known as: Nevill's NL5 Haze (Alaskan Cut)
Waco Strain Overview
Waco is a rare and historically significant cannabis strain developed by AK Bean Brains, representing an old Alaskan cut of Nevill's Northern Lights #5 Haze that dates back to at least 1986. This strain is considered a piece of cannabis history, preserving genetics that have been maintained in Alaska for decades. The strain is noted for its distinctive and polarizing characteristics, described as having an intensely pungent, ammonia-like aroma that some describe as 'trashy' and 'nasty,' which has contributed to its cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terroir.
As a sativa-dominant strain with Northern Lights #5 and Haze genetics, Waco represents classic breeding work from the golden age of cannabis development. The preservation of this particular cut by Alaskan growers demonstrates the dedication of underground cultivators to maintaining rare genetics before the era of widespread commercialization. While the strain's intense aroma profile may not appeal to all users, it is considered valuable for breeding projects and appreciated by collectors who value authentic old-school genetics.
