Nobody would have heard of Northern Lights without the 'King of Cannabis,' Nevil Schoenmakers, the founder of the first Dutch seed bank.
The story goes that Nevil brought the female clones of the plant to the Netherlands, where he experimented with the Northern Lights strain and many other cannabis strains from all over the world.
By the way, Northern Lights is partly derived from an Afghani Indica, which is reflected in its characteristics. It is not a very large cannabis plant, but one that produces a lot of THC.
Nevil also crossed Northern Lights varieties with Thai Sativa, which explains why many current Northern Lights varieties are sold as Afghani Indica and Thai Sativa hybrids.
In 1985, he introduced the first variety of this newly discovered strain in his "Seed Bank of Holland." He promoted Northern Lights #1 as a pure Afghani Indica. From that moment on, she flew off the shelves and quickly became a bestseller.
After her introduction, the strain soon won several awards worldwide. Northern Lights is a true classic and one of the most popular strains globally. It belongs to one of the most famous breeding lines and forms the basis for numerous crossbreeds.
Not many similar varieties have such a track record. Many smokers are big fans of this classic!
Almost all indoor strains contain Northern Light genetics, and Northern Lights marijuana seeds suit indoor growth. Outdoor growing is also an option, but a sunny and warm summer is essential.
Northern Lights strain seeds grow into relatively small plants, which develop primarily in width. They are easy to grow and have a very dense and compact structure. As the plant matures, the dark green buds are covered with a thick, sparkling layer of trichomes.
Although the species' buds are large and densely packed, they are not so dense that mildew becomes a problem. Therefore, Northern Lights feminized is a great strain for growing humid conditions.
Northern Lights feminized flowering time is about 8 weeks, making it a very fast strain. If you grow it all year round, you can easily harvest it multiple times. Harvesting time outdoors is from mid-September, and the smell is moderate during flowering.
Northern Lights feminized seeds grow into compact, bushy plants with firm buds that are easy to prune thanks to an ample space between the internode spacing. The average height of the plant is about 80 cm.
Some species phenotypes, such as the original NL # 1 phenotype, can produce only one central bud, resulting in a tall, elongated plant that looks like a lollipop.
If Northern Lights is feminized indoors, it will grow into plants between 50 and 80 cm tall. Outside, depending on the conditions, it can reach 100 to 200 cm tall.
Despite the short flowering time, the plants can achieve an impressive yield. Indoor yields between 400 to 500 grams per m² are to be expected. The maximum outdoor yield can be raised as high as 800 to 900 grams per plant.
Are you ready for a delicious knock-out stoned effect? Then Northern Lights is the one for you! The properties of the Indica are strongly present in effect, which is mainly physical.
Depending on the amount of cannabis and how you feel during the day, the strain can relax, calm down, tire, sedate, and sometimes even cause a couch-lock effect. Therefore, Northern Lights is especially suitable for relaxing on the couch after a busy day's work and less ideal for strenuous activities.
When the weed is dried, its aromas and flavors will be well expressed. Think of honey musk's delicious smell and taste, nuanced by a note of wild juniper and Afghani.
