Northern Light is a feminised indica-leaning classic with a heritage that many modern cannabis lines trace back to. Its ancestry is believed to have emerged on the American west coast, drawing on a group of original plants with an Afghan background and, possibly, some Thai input. Growers will notice a sativa touch in the plant, with wider spacing between nodes and slender leaves, even though it is entirely indica in makeup. Plants stay relatively compact indoors, around 1.2 metres, while outdoor specimens can reach well over two metres. Flowering produces dense, resin-rich buds and a dominant central cola, typically over seven to eight weeks. The aroma and taste lean sweet and fruity, with citrus, earthy and peppery undertones. Its reported effect is a clear, balanced high with a noticeable stony character. Indoor yields are quoted at 500 to 550 grams per square metre, and outdoor plants are listed at 575 to 625 grams each. A reliable choice for enthusiasts who appreciate a well-known name.
