Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights x Haze'
|
Northern Lights is crossed with our Haze to produce a heavier set plant. NL/Hz still reaches tall heights yet dense Northern Lights style form on the long stems. The inner bud leaves are a bright lime green. The smoke has that sweet-sour taste and produces a stony yet up high. This plant needs careful trimming indoor and patience, but the reward is worth the wait!

As I am a fairly new grower, please read this with a grain of salt. This entry is mainly for the pics, and to say it has been the healthiest growing variety I have tried yet (out of about 7 types). The smell was medium-low. 8 out of 10 germination. Grown 7 weeks from seed until I switched to 12/12. 3 of the 8 were males, and were culled after 10 days of flowering. Of the remaining 5 females, 2 were short and stout, and 3 had longer internodal spacing, and grew taller and thinner, with popcorn buds that dry rock hard. I simply folded the main stems over to keep them off the light. The shorter ones became hard when dried also, but less dense. My favorite to smoke was the one with longer nodes, it was a nice trippy haze high, more 'up' than the shorter pheno. I harvested all at 80 days of flower. The pine taste of the buds leans towards lemon, with the short pheno being similar, but sweeter. Nothing special about the taste, IMO, but it IS smooth. Very smooth smoke, no harshness at all. No sleepiness either, this keeps me awake, without the jitters.
