Northern Lights, an iconic indica-dominant hybrid strain, is famous for its relaxing and euphoric effects. It originated from a cross between Afghani indica and Thai sativa, perfected by Sensi Seeds in the Netherlands during the late 1980s. Ideal for evening use, it offers dreamy euphoria, inducing happiness and relaxation, leading to sedation suitable for a good night's sleep.
The strain boasts a woodsy, piney aroma with a complex flavor profile of pine, earthy notes, sweet candy, and hints of citrus. Appearance-wise, it features densely packed, dark olive green buds with trichomes, adding a sticky texture.
Easy to grow and resistant to many common plant problems, Northern Lights thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings, preferring warm, Mediterranean climates or regulated indoor environments. It flowers in 7-9 weeks, yielding about 22 ounces per plant outdoors and 18 ounces per square meter indoors.
Medical users utilize Northern Lights for chronic pain, migraines, and more, due to its potent effects. Common side effects include dry mouth and eyes. Users should consume it sensibly to avoid THC-induced anxiety.
With its potent effects, pleasant aroma and flavor, and ease of cultivation, Northern Lights remains a favored strain among both recreational and medical cannabis communities.
