The Northern Light originates form Afghanistan and is a 1005 pure Indica strain that has been awarded with three Cannabis Cup awards. Often used for cross-breeding 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
What's Northern Lights' genetic origin?
Northern Lights' genetics are unknown, but Afghani is suspected. It's known as a pure indica, but its genetics and journey to cannabis glory are a mix of fact and legend.
How does greenhouse cultivation extend the legal growing season for certain cannabis strains?
It is said that the beauty of a greenhouse is in how it lets legal growers play with time, using tricks like extra lighting or shading to stretch the growing season beyond what Mother Nature dictates. This flexibility means strains that would usually get just one shot at harvesting outdoors each year can enjoy multiple cycles. This reportedly results in an increased yield and greater efficiency.
Why are regular seeds so important in the creation of new cannabis strains?
Breeding starts with regular seeds, which provide both male and female plants. This allows breeders to mix and combine features to generate new and exciting cannabis strains. To make children you need a male and a female!
How have Indica strains evolved?
Indica varieties have survived the harsh, dry climates of Afghanistan, India, and Morocco. This resistance makes them hardy plants that can thrive in poor settings and is said to make them uniquely suitable for indoor cultivation where space and conditions can be managed.
What distinguishes strains that are ready to harvest by end-of-October?
Cannabis strains that finish by October are designed for the Northern Hemisphere. They mature before November's winter weather, giving them a shorter time to completion.
