  Breeder's Description - 'Northern Light Special The Original'
Short, sweet and fast, this internationally influential strain has a smooth, spicey-to-peppery taste and an indica growing habit that assures nice yields and minimal headaches for trouble-free cultivation. Nice head effects with the warm glow of a relaxing body stone. A uniquely contemplative smoke for such an overwhelmingly indica-dominant hybrid.

This strain does not get enough credit, and I find people who grow this strain don't talk about it much, seems to be on the down low.

KC Brains Northern Lights Special was a very easy plant to grow, not picky about fertilizers, fast stretchy growth. Although I was expecting an Indica type plant, all 5 of the NLS I grew were Sativa in appearance - tall, with narrow long fingered leaves.

The NLS were flowered for 9 weeks. They d

Northern Lights Special was my first name-brand grow. I planted just two seeds, and one turned out male. Topped at the fourth node and started tying down branches to nails in the wall. Plant ended up about 2 feet high and 4 feet wide, taking up the entire closet. It really started stinking up the ho ...continued

Very easy to grow and cheap, good for a beginners first grow, wasn?t too impressed with the taste but it gave me a giggle in the head high which was half decent I suppose. Grow along side a Big Bud Super Skunk, it yielded just the same as that so I go a reasonable harvest off it. It was grown under ...continued

SI RatingNot Listed Vintage: Not Listed

Out of 10 seeds 1 germinated, and turned out a Sativa dominant female. I veged for 7 weeks. I found I had to feed this plant higher amounts of Nitrogen than other strains during the first few weeks of flowering. This strain is more suited for big light or outdoors.

I found this strain nothing like NL and more like a Haze. The buds have a low bag appeal and a smell I find unpleasant, the smoke tastes like it smells with a hint of pine.

What I did like about this strain was that it's easy on the lungs and had a wonderful up high, that lasts for hours.

As my first grow with decent genetics, I was very impressed with this strain. I know that KC Brains' seeds get a lot of flak on these boards - but these seeds all sprouted and popped out the soil (planted directly into soil) within 36hrs, but the last two to sprout got chucked.
