  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.

Ease: 10 Indoor: 55 to 60 days
Appearance: 9 Outdoor: -
Odor Level: 9 Odor: Smells sweet like a fruit salad
Taste Level: 8 Taste: Not harsh and leaves a fruity taste
Grower's Tils: 10 Sexes: Standard (M/F)
SI Rating: Not Listed Vintage: March, 2004

Veg:

20 Days under 140 watts of fluoros in a rubbermaid fluoro box.

20 Days under a 400 watt MH.

Problems that occured in that time period. -- Survived from ALL:
Incorrectly transplanted
Dropped the plant from 4 feet high because a spider was in it, had to retransplant.
Powdery mildew - tons of neem oil got to the roots and began to kill the plant, had to transplant to get it back to normal, it survived all of that.

Flowering:
It exploded. It's a bud machine, just super compact, at the end, 95% of the stems that I cut had to be manicured because of the tons and tons of buds. Unfortunately because I used a 400W MH, the buds were light and airy. There was almost no smell until the last 2 weeks of growing.

The harvest after dried:
This was my first plant I ever grew, and in my opinion, it is by far, the strongest weed I have ever smoked. I guess my tolerance isn't that high, but I smoke this shit everyday, and after 2 hits, I'm toasted.
I harvested about 230 wet grams which dried to about 60 grams.

Tons of hairs and tons of crystals.
