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.

Germinated 7 seeds, 5 popped, germed in Rockwool cubes, under a CFL for a week.
Using conditions that supposedly would enhance female ratio, MH in veg state, cool temps, high humidity and misting with water spiked with GH micro, I ended up with 3 females, I killed off the runt of the two.
Veg time was about 20 days, they have a bushy profile during veg. I chose mainly a chemical feeding method during veg.
For bloom I switched over to a organic bloom formula + additives. Northen Lights was quick to show preflowers. And with organics it was a pretty easy grow. what else was nice was how compact it stayed. I also had very little problem with overfeeding or underfeeding with NL, it was a typical feeding profile.
What I didnt like was trying out some early harvested NL (at 45 days), just dont do it, the high was disappointing, and really the potency didnt really develop until the 8th week. I finally harvested some when the trichromes were cloudy
with a few amber trichromes.
The smoke and aroma is interesting, a earthy pine and musky fruit smell, the smoke was easy on the lungs, but this stuff is a creeper for me, it seemed like
it just didn't hit, then slowly but surely the body high takes over.. I'm not sure why, but in comparison to other NL's by other breeders this is somewhat
different in aroma. This is a medium type of high, but it had me dazed staring
off into space.
I am a bit disappointed with the yield, but this is my first run with organic hydropoincs so it might be me just needing to tweak the grow. The leaf to
bud ratio was ok.
I did like the odor free quality of the NL series, the only time it really smelled is if I brushed up against the plant. Overall it was a easy plant to
work with.
