The Northern Light originates from Afghanistan and is a 100 % pure Indica strain that has been awarded with three Cannabis Cup awards. Often used for crossbreeding because of her vigour and big buds, but also popular with growers who prefer a strain that does not stink too much. This strain produces big buds with a sweet taste and a strong, long-lasting, stoned effect. Northern Light is a very easy plant to grow and is suited for both indoor and greenhouse growers.
Strain FAQ
Can late-October strains have various flavours?
Contrary to popular assumption, these fast-finishing strains have a wide range of terpene profiles, from earthy and piney to sweet and fruity, reportedly without sacrificing taste.
What makes Indica strains appealing?
Those seeking the benefits without a high euphoric effect frequently choose Indica strains. Due to their increased CBD content, they are said to help relieve pain, anxiety, and insomnia without the strong high of THC-dominant strains.
Are strains with European genetics common?
No, modern breeding for high THC or CBD strains challenges European strains like ruderalis and Swiss landraces. Conservation is essential to preserve these strains' genetic variety as they are able to provide resilience, disease resistance, and climate adaptability.
How are Cannabis Cup winners chosen?
Some categories are decided by audience voting and expert panel opinions. This combined strategy awards standout strains using both professional knowledge and customer preferences.
Do any particular terpenes contribute to the sweet flavour?
The terpene Pinene, recognised for its crisp, piney aroma, can reportedly sweeten a cannabis strain. Alpha- and beta-pinene add richness to the strain's multi-layered sweetness.
