Northern Lights is one of three fundamental breeding strains that have changed the face of global cannabis culture over the last three decades. Apart from Skunk #1 and Haze, no variety comes close to matching Northern Lights’ influence on the world of weed. Whether you’re a smoker, a grower or a breeder, it's more than likely this strain has had a direct effect on your understanding of ganja. Virtually every cannabis enthusiast has, at the very least, had their day brightened by a fat bud of Northern Lights or one of her hybrid descendants. As far back as the Eighties, Northern Lights was setting the standard by which other Indicas are still judged and she remains one of the most trusted names and sought-after varieties in modern cannabis culture. For many years, Northern Lights dominated the various harvest festivals, winning cup after cup, leading to a more than one request that she be retired from competition in order to allow other strains a shot at the title.
Through years of selection and back-breeding between stellar examples of the three original Northern Lights variants, Sensi Seeds has adapted this picture-perfect Afghanica genotype for optimum indoor performance, making the world’s most powerful pure Indica accessible to every grower.
Northern Lights is compact, fast and very dense, capable of producing several generous, trouble-free crops per year from seed or clone. Her frosted buds possess a honey-musk aroma blended with an earthy Afghani undertone and a hint of juniper — highly enticing when dried and smoked, yet remarkably understated when growing and flowering. Low odour and easy cultivation combined with big yields and exceptional resin production make Northern Lights the first choice in Indica - for both connoisseur quality and commercial quantity.

Strain FAQ
How did honey-flavored cannabis strains originate?
Honey-flavored strains come from indica and sativa lines. Honey's delicious taste isn't genetically limited! Selective breeding enhances honey-like terpenes and targets effects and cannabinoid levels to create this particular flavor.
How has Northern Lights influenced famous strains?
Northern Lights was a breeding foundation for Super Silver Haze and Shiva Skunk. It is a renowned parent strain because its genetics boost offspring resilience, potency, and aromatic richness.
Are IBL strains important for breeding new ones?
New hybrid strains need IBL strains as genetic foundations. Their genetic purity and stability make them suitable for crossbreeding because they can predictably pass on desired qualities to hybrids. Breeders can regulate and efficiently develop new strains this way.
