Northern Lights Feminised Cannabis Seeds
Alright, listen up, legends! When we’re talking about pure, unadulterated cannabis royalty, you simply can’t go past Northern Lights. This isn’t just a strain, mate — it’s a genuine icon. Born from old-school Afghani landrace genetics, she’s a proper Indica powerhouse that practically invented the term “chill vibes.” If you’re after a classic that delivers every single time, this beaut’s got your name written all over it.
Flavour & Aroma
Smell:
Imagine stepping into a forest just after a summer storm — damp earth, fresh pine, and the faintest hint of spice hiding in the breeze. That’s Northern Lights for ya. Rich, grounding, and just a bit cheeky.
Taste:
On the inhale, she’s smooth and earthy with that piney freshness. Then, just when you think she’s done, there’s a mellow sweet finish on the exhale — like sucking on a honey drop after a bushwalk.
Matty’s Take: No nonsense. No burn. Just pure old-school goodness wrapped in a doona of flavour.
Effects & What to Expect
Lighting up Northern Lights is like lowering yourself into a hot bath after a long day — soothing, heavy, and quietly euphoric. Being nearly pure Indica, she’s renowned for sending you straight to your happy place. We’re talking a proper, full-body hug, starting with a wave of gentle euphoria that smoothly transitions into a deep, profound sense of calm.
With THC levels between 15–21%, she’s got enough grunt to turn your legs to jelly in the best way. She’s the sort of mate who’ll have you settled on the couch, feeling like you’re wrapped in a sentient doona. Perfect for a proper wind-down at the end of the day or a lazy weekend arvo. And yeah — prepare yourself for those blissful munchies.
How to Grow It
She’s a resilient little ripper, this one! Northern Lights grows nice and stocky, with dense, compact buds, making her a fairly forgiving plant — even for beginners. She’s got an average flowering time of 8–10 weeks. Indoors, expect her to top out around 100–160 cm and yield 500–550 g/m². Outdoors, she can stretch up to 180–220 cm and chuck out 575–625 g/plant.
Now, because those buds are so thick, you’ll want to ensure you’ve got good airflow to fend off any mold or mildew. Experienced growers can boost yield with LST (low-stress training) techniques like Sea of Green — she responds well to it and loves to spread out.
Keep your temps between 21–27°C and humidity around 50–60% during veg. Drop that to 40–50% for flowering. She’s not too picky, but she’ll reward you big time if you dial it in.
Matty’s Tip: Want a touch of colour? While she’s usually green, some phenos might show subtle purples if you drop your night temps by 10–15°C during her final 2–3 weeks of flowering. Also — keep those pH levels steady: aim for 6.0–7.0 in soil, or 5.5–6.5 in coco. That’s the sweet spot for slurping up nutrients and pushing fat yields.

Did You Know?
Here’s a ripper fact for ya: Despite the name, Northern Lights isn’t actually named after the stunning aurora borealis! Nah — she got her moniker as a nod to her Seattle origins, cooked up by a legendary (and mysterious) grower known only as ‘The Indian’ or ‘Seattle Greg’.
She was originally a pure Indica, but when the seeds made their way to Neville Schoenmaker (the bloke who founded the first-ever commercial seed bank, Seed Bank of Holland), some sneaky Thai Sativa genetics were introduced — giving us the 95% Indica masterpiece we know and love today.
And get this — her superstar genes have gone on to parent a whole heap of other legends like Super Silver Haze, Sour Diesel, and Jack Herer. Talk about a family tree!
