Breeder's Description - 'Northern Light Special The Original'
|
Short, sweet and fast, this internationally influential strain has a smooth, spicey-to-peppery taste and an indica growing habit that assures nice yields and minimal headaches for trouble-free cultivation. Nice head effects with the warm glow of a relaxing body stone. A uniquely contemplative smoke for such an overwhelmingly indica-dominant hybrid.

KC Brains Northern Lights Special was a very easy plant to grow, not picky about fertilizers, fast stretchy growth. Although I was expecting an Indica type plant, all 5 of the NLS I grew were Sativa in appearance - tall, with narrow long fingered leaves.
The NLS were flowered for 9 weeks. They did not produce noticable trichomes, and were not very sticky during manicure. The buds were long and fluffy, and so the dried yeild was low/moderate at 2.4 oz for 2 female plants. The Skunks grown next to the NLS produced 3.7 oz.
Unfortunately, the smoke of the NLS was weak as expected. It's difficult to smoke enough to get a nice high, so I don't smoke the NLS. Consequently, I've been using the buds to make hash oil for cannabrownies, which have turned out nicely.
I would not grow this strain, it's not worth the effort or the space in your garden.
