Northern Lights is a highly regarded strain that originated in Seattle, Washington. It was created by combining Afghani Indica, Hindu Kush, and Thai varieties. This almost pure Indica strain is 90% Afghani and has a high level of both CBD and THC. Spliff Seeds took the Northern Lights strain and crossed it with a strong OG Kush to develop their Northern Lights Special. Through careful breeding over 16 generations, they were able to create consistently uniform plants that are virtually identical, even when cloned. Additionally, they accidentally stumbled upon a powerful strain they call the Mega Power Plant, which is a cross between the NL Special and a highly resinous Power Plant. This strain is considered the ultimate indica dominant indoor strain.
The Mega Power Plant is a compact plant with long, frostbite-like buds that are covered in resin. It has wide-fingered Indica leaves and a dark green color. The stalks of this strain can be red, which is a common characteristic and not a sign of nutrient deficiency. With a short pre-grow period of only 2 to 3 weeks, the Mega Power Plant will reach a medium height of 80 cm to 1 meter. It has a perfect flower to leaf ratio and is easy to manicure. This strain is also resistant to diseases and parasites. It preflowers quickly and is forgiving when it comes to heat, fertilization, and watering issues.
Spliff Seeds has used the Northern Lights Special to create various new strains due to its stability, high yield, and impressive resin production. By crossing it with a Power Plant, they have created an ideal strain for beginners. The aroma of the Northern Lights Special is not overpowering, making it perfect for discreet growing. Like its parent strain, the Mega Power Plant has a high level of THC, providing a potent experience for consumers. It has a distinct aroma of earthy sweetness with hints of Nepalese temple balls and sweet Kush. The flavor is reminiscent of liquorice with a subtle diesel undertone. This strain is known for its strong narcotic effects, inducing a couchlock stoned sensation. It is also highly effective as a painkiller and has medicinal benefits for chronic pain, muscle spasms, stress, back pain, muscular pain, and loss of appetite.
