Northern Lights and Skunk #1 got together and produced Northern Soul, the love-child of two illustrious parents. The qualities of these two classic strains are proudly displayed in this high-yielding progeny. Very indica-like in growth and structure it is a medium-sized plant with large, dark green leaves. It is very hardy and has a pronounced resistance to mould and mildew which is just as well as it develops very dense, tight buds which become coated in shiny resin and which have a powerful indica effect.
Northern Soul takes a little longer than some strains to finish flowering, taking about 10 weeks altogether, and although it will prosper and thrive outdoors it probably won't finish in time to beat the advent of colder and wetter weather in higher latitudes taking until at least mid-October to be ready for harvest time.
Strain FAQ
Genetically, how do strains that are ready to harvest by mid-October adapt?
These strains usually have faster maturation genes. They conclude by mid-October thanks to ruderalis' auto-flowering features and indica's shorter flowering periods.
Why are balanced hybrids becoming more popular?
Balanced hybrids indicate a move towards customised cannabis experiences. The cannabis industry is demanding more precision, and consumers are enjoying these strains' complex effects and ability to tailor their sessions to their mood, activity, or medicinal needs.
Why was cannabis grown in Central America and the Caribbean historically significant?
Traditional cannabis cultivation and use in Central America and the Caribbean dates back centuries. This long tradition has produced genetically pure, local-adapted landrace strains. Many current popular hybrids are in fact based on these landraces.
Do mould-resistant strains have different leaf structures?
Many mould-resistant plants have smaller leaves than indica or sativa crops. Airflow around and through the plant is improved by this leaf shape, preventing mould growth.
What makes average yielding strains' terpene profiles unique?
There is nothing particular that binds their terpene profiles together as their genetics are very varied and all cannabis plants have many terpenes. It is the combination of these terpenes which gives cannabis its smell and taste. The combination can result in a range from earthy and piney to fruity and sweet.
