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.

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

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 top colas and I ended up yielding 2 ounces from this one alone. That's almost as much as the other 3 combined. This one also has a kind of bland smell to the bud itself, unless it's in a jar but the taste is pretty good. The smell is starting to change with the cure though to a kind of skittles smell..
Plant 2: This one was also topped and ended up being very weird in the fact that it was nothing like the other 3 in smell, taste, or appearance. It has a very musky gasoline type smell to it, I don't really care for it but it doesn't seem to be lacking any potency. It also had very airy buds for some reason. I yielded about 1 ounce off her.
Plant 3: My 2nd largest yielder got me about 30 grams and was grown tree style. This one smelled wonderful throughout flower and seems to be getting better with curing. This one also had one of the branches from the VERY bottom grow up to the top and basically became a main cola. That whole branch alone yielded me a quarter ounce. If I did save cuttings this one would probably be the one i'de keep, at least 2 months of curing really brings out the great NL taste and i'de say this is the most potent one.
Plant 4: My last one is very nice but it was under my blower and had a lot of light blocked from her from the other 3 so it only yielded me about 12 grams from the top of the cola. It smells just like the previous plant but stronger, same with the taste.. kinda overwhelming.
All in all I yielded about 4.5 ounces. I’d probably grow this strain again but I didn't keep cuttings from them (mainly because I have no where to keep a mom at the moment). I have a lot more pics as well, you can either check out my gallery or PM me and I can hook you up with a link to my grow thread. Peace
Pic1- Top of Plant 3 before trim.
Pic2- Day 12 of veg. before first transplant.
Pic3- Day 24 of veg. nearing the beginning of flower.
Pic4- Flower Day 18- Ending stretch
Pic5- Plant 1 Harvest shot
Pic6- Plant 2 Harvest shot
Pic7- Plant 3 Harvest shot
Pic8- Plant 4 Harvest shot. It's just the top but that’s really all the bud.

Garden Information for this report I grow in a C13 cabinet. For lighting I use a 250w Mh light for veg. and a 250w HPS bulb for flower. I have 5 1.5" PVC passive intakes on the bottom of the cabinet and I use a 265CFM Dayton blower for exhaust. I start with Scotts Seed Starting soil and then transplant into a simple mix of Miracle Grow (MG) soil and Perlite at about 3/1 - MG/Perlite for the rest of the grow. For fertilzers I use Pure Blend Pro Accelerated Vegetative Formula (3-1.5-4) throughout veg. up until the ending of stretch in flower and then I use Pure Blend Pro Fruit and Flower for SOIL fomula (1.5-4-5) throughout the rest of flower up until the last 1-2 weeks I flush. |

Germinated 7 seeds, 5 popped, germed in Rockwool cubes, under a CFL for a week.
Using conditions that supposedly would enhance female ratio, MH in veg state, cool temps, high humidity and misting with water spiked with GH micro, I ended up with 3 females, I killed off the runt of the two.

Another must for the indoor grower!
northern lights is a great strain for your closed grow.
it has a very low smell but a nice smoke with a fruity-sweet citrus taste .
The taste is nothing special but the smoke is very smooth.
The high comes fast but its still clear and paranoia free.
