Northern Lights

Description

Northern Lights Strain Info

Northern Lights’ history goes back to the U.S. West Coast, where the original batch of 11 seeds was discovered and then perfected over the years. The result is a stable and reliable cultivar that has remained a staple for generations of home growers worldwide. Besides the ease of cultivation, people appreciate this 80% Indica for her outstandingly easygoing and happy effects.

Genetics

The backbone of Northern Lights is pure Indica believed to have come from Afghanistan. There was so much crossbreeding involved that it’s virtually impossible to check this claim, but most breeders believe there are also traces of a Thai Sativa in the lineage of this exceptional weed.

Flowering Time

The flowering time of Northern Lights is so short – only 49-56 days of 12/12 – that one can compare her grow cycle with that of autoflowers. This extraordinary speed is one of the main reasons for this plant’s popularity among home growers.

Yields

Above-average yields are another thing Northern Lights is famous for. Indoors, you can harvest up to 2.3 oz/ft² (700 g/m²) if you install powerful grow lights. Outdoors, you’ll need lots of good Mediterranean sun but can expect to harvest up to 2.2 pounds (1000 grams) per plant.

Effects

As any good Afghani Indica should, Northern Lights manifests its presence in your body as a warm, buzzy relaxation that makes you feel perfectly content and happy, worry-free, and optimistic. This fuzzy-blanket type of feeling also has great medicinal value.

Medical Properties

Northern Lights is medical marijuana at its finest; as such, it’s done a great job of converting non-believers over the decades. Patients swear by this weed’s ability to battle depression, stress, and anxiety, as well as to relieve pain and help with insomnia.

THC and CBD Levels

The declared percentage of 17-19% THC shouldn’t mislead you – these are still very respectable levels that can overwhelm an inexperienced smoker and provide powerful relief to a habitual medical consumer. CBD content is average at about 1% but adds to NL’s remarkable healing power.

Smell and Taste

While Northern Lights may appeal to stealth growers because of her discreet smell while in bloom, the finished product has a rich and pleasant flavor with a noticeable skunkiness and bright notes of lemon and other citrus fruit. The taste may also be reminiscent of old-school hash.

Grow Tips

Northern Lights is a very easy-to-grow and rewarding cultivar fit for beginners and pros alike. It forms a tremendous central cola with more moderate side growth and will be ideal for SOG setups. Indoors, the plants can reach 3-5 ft (100-160-cm) in height. Outdoors, in a warm and sunny climate, be prepared for the bushes to reach 6-7 ft (180-200 cm) in height.

• Don’t top the plants so as not to mess with their productivity.
• Place several plants next to each other in small pots (the SOG method).
