An old school Alaskan based breeder who first started growing after collecting NL1 and Devil's Club Indica in 1985. He first began breeding after receiving bag seed from Hawaiian import bud that would eventually become Hawaiian Cat Piss. After discovering strain catalogues, such as The Seed Bank of Holland, he started purchasing genetics and cultivars to improve and preserve his own seed stock. These days, AK Bean Brains is focused on the preservation and stabilization of heirloom strains and modern favorites.

The original genetics are from Mr. Bob Hemphill. They are Black Domina crossed to Pacific North West Hashplant NL1 (PNWHP NL1). This was bred to f3 and then back crossed to the F1 males.
