Northern Lights #10 Strain Info

It’s hard to tell fact from fiction when we talk about the very first strains of today’s cannabis market, but the Northern Lights family probably originated in the U.S. in the ‘70s. Then a batch of seeds was smuggled into the Netherlands and spawned a whole line of Northern Lights, of which #10 was arguably the best. This 75% Indica/25% Sativa cultivar was everything home growers and smokers were looking for, and still is today.

Genetics

The exact genetic composition of Northern Lights #10 may forever remain a mystery, and indeed, there is a secret hybrid involved in its creation. However, marijuana aficionados believe that the original NL was a cross of an Afghani landrace and a Thai Sativa. While the former serves as the genetic backbone and makes the plant a breeze to cultivate, the latter is responsible for its more pronounced high.

Flowering Time

A short flowering time is one of the perks of growing this strain and one of the reasons she’s become so popular. Look forward to harvesting your buds in an amazing 53 days of flowering. With speed like that, you can try her outdoors too if you don’t live too far north.

Yields

Whatever your idea of a good harvest is, Northern Lights #10 may surpass your expectations, as she yields 1.8-2.1 oz/ft² (550-650 g/m²) indoors. Outdoor-grown plants can be monsters that bring in up to 1.6-1.9 lb (750-850 grams) each.

Smell and Taste

The smell of NL #10 is generally low-key and will appeal to growers who are concerned with security or simply don’t want to annoy neighbors. However, the smoke is delicious – it has the smell of citrus and even juniper, and it leaves a taste of earth on the exhale.
