Intense shades of purple, blue and green define this small but lethal indica variety. With a tapestry of flavours ranging from pine and earth to sweet and sour plum jam, Northern Light Auto has a strong combination of both cerebral relaxation and couch lock. Like most auto-flowering varieties, this strain is easy to grow and prefers light, low release fertilisation and is mould, pest and disease resistant.
Strain FAQ
Are there disease-resistant strains that also deter pests?
Yes, certain strains naturally repel pests such as spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies. This ability often stems from the plant's production of specific terpenes or compounds that either repel pests or make the plant an undesirable host, enhancing the strain's overall resilience.
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.
What makes beginner-friendly cannabis strains easier than others?
Beginner strains generally have balanced effects and don't require a great deal of work, making them excellent for newbies. Auto-flowering types' resistance to environmental stressors and pests, as well as their simpler legal growth conditions make them a common choice.
Has the main terpene responsible for pine flavour been used elsewhere?
Indeed, it has a long history! Pine needles and alpha-pinene-rich resin have been employed by indigenous cultures for various purposes. I find it amazing that this particular terpene has been used so widely across cultures and time.
How has increased THC levels affected cannabis breeding?
Breeding for strains with 20% THC and beyond has spurred innovation and the discovery of unusual exciting genotypes. It is important to remember that the mission is about enhancing the strain's taste, fragrance, and therapeutic potential as well as just stretching THC boundaries.
