Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights x Shiva'
|
Northern Lights crossed with Shiva creates wonderfully pungent sweet buds with bountiful THC. This plant has high flower to leaf ratio. NL/Shi has a bit spicier smoke when compared to Northern Lights and has a more complex buzz. This strain is a timeless classic. NL/Shi has a exotic aroma, is relatively easy to grow and clone.

This was my first real grow and I was amazed with every aspect of this plant. Extremely easy to grow, almost like it took care of itself. It loved nutes and was not over-sensitive. The foliage is a beautiful dark green.
In flowering the trichomes pack on excessively. There is a strong unique smell, but it stays rather close to the plant. Had the fattest colas of the three strains that I grew at the same time as well as the best yield.
I let her go a little over 60 days to get those trichs a little more amber. I didn't flush before harvest and the smoke was pretty harsh after drying. I've been curing it in mason jars for a few months now and the smoke is as smooth and tasty as can be. I'm now a firm beleiver in curing!
Since I've become legal I've been growing medicinal clones, but some day I plan to breed a mother plant out of the NLxShiva seeds I still have left over.
