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
What makes Ruderalis strains resilient?
Due to their origins in harsh locations, Ruderalis variants are highly resilient to pests and diseases. This toughness lets them tolerate situations that other cannabis types struggle with.
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
How has hemp production in Europe affected cannabis strains?
European cannabis strains have been gradually influenced by hemp farming, especially in France, Ukraine, and Russia. Due to cross-cultivation and natural hybridization, selecting hemp for fibre and biomass production may have caused cannabis to have unique growth patterns, flowering dates, and THC profiles.
As days shorten, how do these strains manage light efficiency?
They maximise light during late summer and early autumn's shorter days. This is said to allow them to produce high yields even as daylight decreases.
What are the advantages of Indica strains?
Indica strains flower faster than Sativas, making them ideal for legal growers in a hurry! Indicas, ready in 8–10 weeks, allow for numerous harvests per year, keeping the cycle flowing with less effort.
