Our take

Northern Lights is one of the most recognized indica-dominant strains in home growing, and for good reason. Bred from Afghani and Thai sativa genetics by Seattle's Greg McAllister, it delivers a skunky, spicy aroma and deeply relaxing effects at 18% THC. Feminized seeds and a forgiving temperament make it a confident first grow for beginners.

Outdoor harvest lands in September, making it practical for continental and Mediterranean climates with shorter warm seasons
Yield potential reaches up to 595 g/m² indoors, strong output for a compact, short-statured plant

Growing notes

Northern Lights suits indoor and outdoor setups alike, thriving in sunny, continental, and Mediterranean climates. Its short stature fits tighter grow spaces, and the feminized photoperiod format gives you full control over the flowering trigger. Expect 42–56 days of flowering indoors. Rated beginner difficulty, it handles minor environmental variation without much fuss — a practical choice for growers still dialing in their setup.
