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.

This was my second grow a few years back, my first grow using breeder seeds.
Germination rates were good and i recieved 2 out of 2 females. both were very hardy growers during veg. I was pretty much shocked that i had recieved 2 totally different phenos in the same pck of seeds, i mean completely different.
INDICA-
One was a very hardy indica that grew short and thick, the stem was as thick as a pencil when it was about 5 inches tall. She was an easy plant to grow and was what i had expected from a northern lights plant, minimal smell, hardy squat bush with dark green leaves almost turning black on my clone during veg.
She went into flowering very quick and didnt stretch too much, starting packing on weight quicker than i have seen any other plant so i knew she would finish up real fast. I picked her around day 50 or so and i was surprised on the density of the bud structure, real nice chunky nuggs that were VERY easy to trim. Just cut off the big fans and there you go, all the other leaves were so frosted that they were left on. Its no wonder why NL is so popular it gets frosty, dense, large yield and finishes quick perfect for begginers or commercial growers.
After a nice long cure and i mean long like 2 months the smell was perfect IMO, very grape and sweet. From what ive heard BOG got his grape pheno he uses from NL heritage so if your growing it out wish for the grape pheno. The second round from clone went about 57 days and the grape aroma was not as strong as the first that went 50.
Smoking the NL was not incredible or anything, better appearance than effect or taste. To be honest the taste was kindof lacking. The high was pretty balanced leaning slightly to the couchlock side, still not as couchlock as i had expected.
SKUNK- The other pheno i aquired from the same pack of NLPI was infact not indica at all but more sativa in almost every aspect. I would guess its genetics come from the male breeder plant Nirvana uses to cross with. Anyhow still a nice plant with a nice coffee smell and thin leaves.
During flower it didnt stretch as much as expected, very loose compared to the indica with nice swollen calxys, tall bud structure, good yield a good surprise to find in a indica pack of seeds.
After curing the skunk pheno i was surprised that the coffee smell had faded away and turned rather lemony. Smoking the skunk was a pure treat the buds smoked so smooth with a subtle lemon hint.
The high was pretty uplifting and clear with just a hint of body, good weed when doing activities. Needless to say it was smoked up way before the indica was, but inturn the indica had a very slow cure that it really needed.
Some pictures are clones from the second round. Skunk pheno first.
The first picture was inverted using paint shop and i looked at it and was like.. Wow its the cannabis god, and look the buds are praying to him.
