I just got 6 grams of Northern Lights. Smells great, VERY sticky... I was wondering where this strain usually comes from. I heard it's from Canada, so is it a kind of BC bud? Also, does anyone know if NL is more sativa than indica, or vice versa? Just curious, apprieciate the help!
I've only smoked Northern Lights maybe once or twice. I thought it came from Alaska but I could be wrong. Either way that stuff will knock you out!
I dunno man, but I got some a month or so ago and it fucking rocked. I was curious on this question myself, glad you posted it. Now, these other stoners had better come through with the info!
I am currently getting ready to harvest my 2 NL #5 girl's. NL #5 is a cross of Northern Lights x Northern Lights #2. Here is a link to my grow report, it is 13 page's long and has LOT's of pic's. It's not your specific NL strain, but it is pretty much pure NL....: http://www.weedtalk.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2991 Here is some more info on the NL #5 strain from other grower's and where it came from....: Northern Lights #5 RegionNew World Strains - The Americas, Hawaii and Caribbean TypeMostly Indica OriginHolland BreederSensi Seed Bank - Emery Seeds Description-Updated:2002-12-04Medical: multiple sclerosis "This state of the art Indica is the result of over 20 years of select inbreeding. Bred for vigorous growth, high yield, and superb high. A must for growers who prefer short bushy plants. The buds have an extremely frosted, resinous appearance and the yield is high. Squat, bush-like, indica. Uniform growth profile. Highly resinous, quite potent, relaxing high.

Part indica, part sativa. Grows great outdoors, flowers quickly and has a pretty good yield. I know a few that have grown it. Call it the "Christmas tree" bud, the plant looks like one. Thumbs up to it, it is a great strain. UnknownUpdated:2002-12-04I got NL#5 never had any problems with cloning, also if its real NL#5 (which is Pure NL) it has almost no smell at all which is great if ya grow indoors. The ones I've seen really fill out at the end of the flowering cycle, it sometimes looks like the yield will be marginal and then in the last couple of weeks--bam! I have found this with most indica strains, usually they do not fill out till the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. NL is a great indoor strain, one of my fav's too. ShuzzitUpdated:2002-12-04I grew Sensi Seeds NL#5 and it was one of the best plants I had ever seen. VERY distinctive aroma and taste, I agree with Skunkman, its like a psychedelic couchlock, the buzz goes for loooong. Plus its one of the best indoor plants I ever saw, very short and compact, mega-phat top-cola, pretty fast (8 weeks), wont grow much longer after inducing bloom, excellent flower/leaf ratio. I had good 400 gr./s.m. which I consider nice. Only drawback I noticed was you better watch the air humidity, they have a tendency to catch bud rot, and the colas are just too fat and sticky so the air won't go into. But when you keep moisture down to max. 50% rh. you should do well. To my experience they are true-breeding, but on the other hand I heard that too much inbreeding out of a small number of species might cause some problems and show up some indica aspects you may not want to have. I heard of NL#5 F2 that smelled and tasted like shit and had a very dull buzz. pot newzUpdated:2002-12-04(For multiple sclerosis) my friend is currently using a pure indica (NL#5) with good results... Soilless GreenUpdated:2002-12-04These plants were squat and uniform. Very short internode space, compact bud structure, heavy branching. Flowering time was around 8 weeks. Taste and aroma were nothing special, but the bud was potent and had a nice, chill, indica high.

A very leanant plant which requires almost no attention at all, what i did consisted of germinating, transplanting, and mulching. As you probably know I grew outdoors, a very good strain for outdoors. Definately suggested. I will comment when the bud is dried, cured, and smoked!!!
GuySmiley, i have been following your grow jurnal and your plants look great! i am about to start up a similar setup to yours also with NL#5, That LST method looks like it is really effective at getting more light to the buds.
