Northern Lights is a highly respected and sought-after variety of cannabis seeds that has been setting the standard for Indicas since the Eighties. It has won numerous prizes and dominated harvest festivals for years. In fact, it was so successful that there were requests to withdraw it from competitions to give other strains a chance to win.
NLX Special, developed in California in the 1960s, forms the basis for the present strain of Northern Lights. It is mainly of the Cannabis Indica strain, but there have been some additional variations made to enhance its properties, such as incorporating the longer growth of Cannabis sativa plants.
Northern Lights is known for being one of the strongest types of weed. NLX Special, in particular, is compact, fast-growing, and produces dense buds. It is capable of yielding multiple trouble-free crops per year from either seed or cuttings.
When dried and smoked, Northern Lights has a delightful honey-musk aroma with hints of earthy Afghani undertones and juniper. However, during the growing and flowering process, the smell is surprisingly understated.
NLX Special is not only easy to grow and produces big yields, but it also has exceptional resin production. This makes it the preferred choice for Indica lovers, both in terms of quality and quantity.
The taste and effect of NLX Special are similar to classic skunk cannabis strains. It offers a clear, relaxing high that starts in the head and gradually spreads throughout the body. Due to its suitability for Sea/Screen of Green processing, short flowering time, and high yield, NLX Special is an excellent choice for both commercial and novice growers.
