In terms of phenotype, we can assure that it produces a central bud and not many branches with few but very large leaves. This makes it very quick to pluck. The optimum planting density is between 20 and 25 individuals per square meter, because of the only central bud.
Northern has been used by many breeders to create new hybrids, as it is one of the commercial strains available now a day. CBD Seeds wanted to keep it pure to make it available to those who appreciate the taste of the “old school”.
Strain FAQ
What makes early-finishing strains more sustainable?
Strains that complete by mid-September are said to be better for outdoor sustainability. They require less artificial illumination, due to evolving in places with shorter daylight hours. Their lower lighting needs make them a more sustainable and cost-effective option.
Which terpenes give cannabis its vanilla scent?
Myrcene is sweet and silky. Humulene's earthy, woody notes add depth. A spicy warmth from caryophyllene and linalool's floral undertones give it a vanilla-like sweetness.
What attracts legal cultivators to mid-range THC strains?
It has been commonly reported that these strains are more adaptive to many temperatures and legal growing circumstances than high-THC strains. They are therefore popular with legal growers seeking hardy and adaptable plants due to their flexibility and potential medicinal and recreational effects.
Why are harvest times for outdoor cannabis strains seasonal?
Outdoor cannabis is obviously at the mercy of the seasons, with legal growers typically reaping their bounty once a year in the fall. This natural rhythm dictates the supply and could even sway the cost of these strains in the market. This makes the timing of the harvest a crucial factor for legal outdoor cultivators.
How long do indica-dominant strains flower compared to sativas?
The fastest flowering strains are indica-dominant, finishing in 45–60 days. This fast flowering phase helps legal growers get their plants to maturity quickly, reducing the time from seed to harvest.
