About Northern Lights

It is extremely hard to trace the exact origins of the Northern lights strain back to where it first blossomed. Some claim that Northern Light first sprouted near Seattle Washington in the 1970s. We do know for certain the strain was cultivated to what it is today back in 1980s Holland. Cannabis cultivator Neville Schoenmaker pioneered several NL phenotypes. It was then perfected and sold by Sensi Seeds. It would later make its way to Colorado where it was one of the most popular choices in many of the High State’s dispensaries.

This strong indica strain is very popular among medical marijuana patients as well. Due to its almost pure indica genetics, it is believed to be very useful in relieving symptoms that are associated with stress, insomnia, pain and depression.

Northern Lights Genetics

While the history of Northern Lights isn’t certain, the strain definitely comes from the two land race strains of Afghan and Thai. This is an indica strain through and through with an indica:sativa ratio of 95%:5%. Northern Light is known to pack a punch when smoked and is sometimes referred to as the “two hit and quit strain”. However the THC content is a medium 18%. With an extremely low CBD content of 1% and sometimes lower. The earthy flavour of Northern Light can be credited to the mix of dominant terpenes such as myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene. The NL strain is responsible for creating other well known strains such as Superglue and Silver Haze.

Taste and Flavour

The smell of the Northern Lights strain will bring to mind the great outdoors. The pine scent will have you thinking of tranquil forest settings as you begin to relax. Northern Light brings flavours that are earthy with hints of natural spices and herbals-type tastes. These earthy skunky flavours are very appropriate for a strain that is named after a natural wonder in the Scandinavian woodlands.
