NORTHERN LIGHTS

Description

Northern Lights (often abbreviated as NL) is a classic Afghani landrace cross that emerged in the 1980s and quickly became a global phenomenon. Known for its short flowering time, resilience, and knockout effects, it has been used to breed countless other legendary strains (like Super Silver Haze and AK-47).

Appearance & Aroma

• Buds: Dense, chunky, and coated in a thick layer of white trichomes, giving them a "snow-covered" look. Colors range from deep green to purple under cooler temps.
• Aroma: Earthy, sweet, and musky—like pine forest, sandalwood, and spicy hash, with a hint of citrus zest.

Flavor Profile

• Inhale: Smooth, creamy pine with a touch of sweetness.
• Exhale: Earthy, spicy hash with a lingering citrus aftertaste.
• Smoke: Thick and expansive, but surprisingly smooth for its potency.

2. Body High: Heavy relaxation spreads quickly, locking you into the couch.
3. Final Stage: Deep sedation—ideal for sleep or pain relief.

• Chronic pain & muscle spasms (one of the strongest indicas for physical relief)
• Insomnia & sleep disorders (guaranteed deep sleep)
• Stress, anxiety, and PTSD (mental tranquility)
