Origin & History of Northern Lights

The Northern Lights strain emerged in the early 1980s on the U.S. West Coast and is based on a cross between Afghani and Thai. This combination of two pure landraces was later stabilized and further developed in the Netherlands by Sensi Seeds. From there, the original Northern Lights spread worldwide and influenced countless modern hybrids.

As a pure indica with a high THC content, it has won multiple awards — including at the High Times Cannabis Cup. Even today, it is considered a reliable classic for those seeking a deeply relaxing effect and high yields with minimal effort.

Why Northern Lights is so popular

The effect of Northern Lights is typical of an indica-dominant strain: deeply relaxing, calming, and physically noticeable. Many consumers appreciate it for relieving chronic pain, sleep issues, or simply unwinding after a long day.

Another reason for its popularity is its extremely discreet aroma during flowering. Compared to other Lights weed strains, Northern Lights emits almost no smell — ideal for indoor stealth grows or sensitive environments. Despite its low odor, it produces a thick layer of resin on the buds, known for its potency.

It also shines in terms of resilience: highly resistant to pests and diseases, forgiving of minor mistakes in watering or feeding. It thrives both in warm climates and in controlled indoor environments with LEDs or HPS lights.

With a flowering time of just 48 to 55 days, it delivers high yields consistently — indoors and outdoors alike. In outdoor grows, the harvest time for Northern Lights is typically in the first week of September, making it perfect for short growing seasons.
