Introduced in the early 1980s and stabilized by Amsterdam seed banks, Northern Lights seeds have become a favorite of growers around the world.

Northern Lights Strain Effects

Northern Lights Seeds Flowering Time

For cultivators seeking optimal harvest timing, knowing Northern Lights’ flowering time is important. This mostly Indica strain flowers in around 8 to 10 weeks, a moderate period that rewards growers with a timely, bountiful harvest.

During that window the plants build the dense, resin-coated buds Northern Lights is famous for, without demanding a long wait. Planning your grow around this predictable flowering time makes it easy to get robust plants and a consistent, high-quality yield.

How to Grow Northern Light Seeds?

Northern Lights  seeds can be grown indoors or outdoors under optimal conditions, to avoid any problems during their development. Although they are compact, robust and moderately easy to grow, we should always prevent any pests. You can use different growing methods to retain and enhance the terpenes and flavors of your Feminized Northern Lights buds.

• Use a quality substrate. Perlite, peat or coco coir are ideal for moisture retention.
• Thanks to the experience of our customers with our Feminized Northern Lights seeds, we know that we can increase yields by up to 20%.

For optimal indoor cultivation, Blimburn Seeds advises wide, vertical spaces and the use of the ScrOG method to obtain a uniform canopy and increase the size of the lower flowers. If you plan to grow our Feminized seeds outdoors, we have developed a grow guide for optimal cultivation in any area of the world.

Remember that our cannabis plants also need good nutrients as seedlings, in their vegetative period and finally in their flowering period. When you grow outdoors, choose the best date for your crop and a place where the plants receive the most hours of sunshine.

If on the other hand you prefer to grow your Feminized seeds indoors, use good tents, textile pots, led lighting, an air extractor to circulate clean air and, of course, a good carbon filter to avoid problems with neighbors or the law.

Keep daytime temperatures between 68-80 ℉ and nighttime temperatures 7 to 9 ℉ cooler than the day.

These Feminized plants need low humidity to thrive. Keep relative humidity (RH) at 55%-60% during the vegetative phase, reduce it to around 40% during flowering and to about 30% by harvest.

Outdoors, breeders in the northern hemisphere should sow their cannabis seeds in April for harvest in mid October. Healthy Feminized Northern Lights seeds produce about 17 – 21 oz/plant | 500 – 600 gr/plant of buds each. Indoors, these crops have a flowering time of 8 – 10 weeks and produce about 1.47 – 1.64 oz/ft² | 450 – 500 g/m².

Ideal Climate for Cultivating

The Northern Lights cannabis strain flourishes best in a warm, dry climate with plenty of sunshine and low ambient humidity. The most favorable temperature range for its growth and development is 70-85 ℉ (21-29 ℃): higher temperatures can stunt growth and invite pests, while colder temperatures can damage the plant and reduce yield.

The USDA hardiness zones considered ideal for Northern Lights run from 8 to 10, which includes states such as California, Arizona, Texas, Florida and parts of Nevada, Utah, Oregon and Louisiana. Keep in mind that success also depends on strong genetics, not solely on the climate.

A regular watering schedule is important too, especially in hot summer months, to keep the plants from drying out. Together, these conditions support the overall health and potency of your Northern Lights and bring out its aromatic flavor and relaxing effects.

What does the Strain Smell Like?

The buds of Northern Lights are rock hard, soaked in resin and carry a crystalline sheen from the sheer amount of trichomes.

The taste and flavor are a blend of earthy, pine and sweet notes, with an aroma of spicy incense and musky hashish.

Northern Lights makes a delicious, smooth smoke and delivers a relaxed, happy experience. Thanks to its large resin production, it is an ideal strain for high quality extracts and concentrates.

Experiencing the Strain

Northern Lights is a Medium-THC strain of 17% that brings a happy, focused and relaxed state. This mostly Indica marijuana is perfect to unwind, and it also keeps the mind surprisingly clear while lifting the mood, so it can make almost anyone feel calm, cheerful and at ease.
