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.

Northern Lights is always a great smoke, nice and relaxed, low paranoia, sweet smell and taste; you can't go wrong with Northern Lights.
Northern Lights is a forgiving plant and great for the newbie grower. It can take its fair share of abuse. The high is a couchlock and hits you in about 5 min, ...continued

I grew a single Nirvana NLPI from a clone of a mother that I started from seeds from seedsdirect.
I used hydro and 400 watts and got near 4 oz off of the one plant. Like any bud I would give it a few days to dry and at least 2 weeks to cure in glass jars before tasting it. And then it is rock ha ...continued

This was my first grow and under a 70w HPS light in a stealth cabinet 1'7"w X 4'h. It grew very vigorous in veg. and was a nice, average sized bush with lots of dark green, healthy leaves.
My end harvest after a 40 day veg, and 57 day flower was 38.2g. I highly suggest it for the beginner, or ste ...continued

Nirvana's version on Northern Lights is an absolute pleasure to grow.
Great for begginers as well as pros, as is has great potential.
I germinated 10 seeds all sprouted and I got 8 females.
Odor definitely skunk, with a piney taste.

Grown from seed, of 8 ended up with 2 females & kept 1 very vigorous male for breeding.
Vegged for 4 weeks, 1 grown bush style, 1 'tied and trained' smokinrav style.
*Very* Indica dominated with large fan leaves bigger than my hand! I did not experience any sativa pheno as some others have encountered.
The un-topped plant was flowered for 52 days and the tied plant at 56 days. Yield was 38 & 42 grams respectively.
A very easy strain to grow & clone, growth was vigorous & healthy. The untrained plant was quite a beauty with all of the stems/colas 'bunching' up to the central cola, we dubbed her "The Baseball Bat"
The smoke was smooth but 'heavy', a real body stone. Not such a great stone if you have important business to conduct but perfect for just chilling out to at the end of a long day :) A couple of my friends who use medicinally had only good things to say.
Appearance of the final product (dried 2 weeks & cured 3) is excellent, it looks and smells great, nicely covered with crystals & dense as well as a decent 'body' stone. We've since chosen Northern Lights as one (of two) of our 'commercial' strains.
Recommended to new & commercial growers or for those desiring an Indica dominated plant, easy to grow, early maturation, good appearance & a decent stone.
Garden Information for this report 400 watt HPS Vegged for 4 weeks, flowered for 7-8 weeks. organic medium; 50% potpower preferted mix, 25% wormcastings, 25% perlite, blood & bone 1" of coarse pumice on bottom of 12 litre pots Ferted only four times, standard dose of nitrosol (liquid blood & bone) half-way through vegetative growth and at the start of flowering. One standard dose of super-bloom, and top-dressed wormcastings during flowering. Plain pH adjusted tap water every other watering (about every 4-5 days) & in last 3 weeks of flowering. |

The 3 plants on the smoke report is the smaller one that’s on the right with tape holding the stem in the middle. I liked this plant, it was very easy to grow. It liked the nutes but can burn if you're not careful. Even split the stem in the middle 3 weeks to go (my fault) and she didn't blink at al ...continued

Northern lights has a reputation for being an easy to grow, tough plant, and after many trials and tribulations, my first attempt at indoor growing ended with a fine bushy plant and around two and a half ounces of top quality smoke.
I would really recommend this strain for those just finding th ...continued

Plants showed sex within one week of switching to 12/12 resulting in 6 females and 4 males.
Of the 6 females, 4 were similar mixed Ind/Sat phenos, which fi ...continued

I had zero problems for the seedling and veg phase. I got 3 females out of six seeds. All phenos were very similar in growth. They stayed relatively short, and were sent into 12/12 at 14 inches. They ended up tripling in size.
In Flower I used a used 400watt MH. Same as in veg. The yield ...continued

I started off with a pack of 10 Nirvana Northern Lights and I got 100% germination. I then had to get rid of 2 for space reasons and out of the remaining 8 I got 5 females and kept 4.
Plant 1: I topped this one at the beginning of flower but it still grew too tall and I had to tie down the 2 ...continued
