Northern Lights

Northern Lights or Indica is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 16% – 21% and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Sweet Pine & Earth (Classic) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being in height, with a nutrient demand that is .

This Indica is of the Genetype: . The Northern Lights strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Northern Lights in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica is and hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Northern Lights needs to maintain a target temperature of for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of , the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Northern Lights needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Northern Lights is for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Northern Lights will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of is maintained and a target humidity of is achieved, the Indica will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Northern Lights is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered .

The most exciting phase, when growing is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Northern Lights will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is . Keep the temperature and humity controlled at and so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Northern Lights is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
