Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights'
|
Northern Lights is highly adapted to indoor growing. Nearly all promising modern indoor strains contain NL genes. High flower to leaf ratio, compact buds, good yields and exceptional resin production are all characteristics displayed by this wonderful plant. Northern Lights is a most lucrative plant for the indoor grower. The smoke is full bodied yet somewhat neutral in flavour.

I started off with a pack of 10 Nirvana Northern Lights and I got 100% germination. I then had to get rid of 2 for space reasons and out of the remaining 8 I got 5 females and kept 4.
Plant 1: I topped this one at the beginning of flower but it still grew too tall and I had to tie down the 2 top colas and I ended up yielding 2 ounces from this one alone. That's almost as much as the other 3 combined. This one also has a kind of bland smell to the bud itself, unless it's in a jar but the taste is pretty good. The smell is starting to change with the cure though to a kind of skittles smell..
Plant 2: This one was also topped and ended up being very weird in the fact that it was nothing like the other 3 in smell, taste, or appearance. It has a very musky gasoline type smell to it, I don't really care for it but it doesn't seem to be lacking any potency. It also had very airy buds for some reason. I yielded about 1 ounce off her.
Plant 3: My 2nd largest yielder got me about 30 grams and was grown tree style. This one smelled wonderful throughout flower and seems to be getting better with curing. This one also had one of the branches from the VERY bottom grow up to the top and basically became a main cola. That whole branch alone yielded me a quarter ounce. If I did save cuttings this one would probably be the one i'de keep, at least 2 months of curing really brings out the great NL taste and i'de say this is the most potent one.
Plant 4: My last one is very nice but it was under my blower and had a lot of light blocked from her from the other 3 so it only yielded me about 12 grams from the top of the cola. It smells just like the previous plant but stronger, same with the taste.. kinda overwhelming.
All in all I yielded about 4.5 ounces. I’d probably grow this strain again but I didn't keep cuttings from them (mainly because I have no where to keep a mom at the moment). I have a lot more pics as well, you can either check out my gallery or PM me and I can hook you up with a link to my grow thread. Peace
