Terpene Profile
About Northern Lights
✦
A near-pure indica developed from Afghani and Thai genetics on the US Pacific Northwest, then refined by Nevil Schoenmakers at the Seed Bank of Holland in the 1980s. Compact, fast-flowering plants produce dense, frost-covered buds. NL won the Cannabis Cup multiple times and became the gold standard for indoor indica cultivation; its relaxed euphoric body high, fast finish, and ease of growth have made it a cornerstone of hundreds of breeding programs.
