Northern Spice (F1)

Initial harvest report on this one is pretty basic. For all intents and purposes this entire run was an abject failure. We lost the initial tester run and were left with this one plant that we brought in from outside. So there are no growth benchmarks or details on nodal spacing, flowering times, overall plant structure or even potentially bud quality. Another problematic development was the presence of WPM, the NL part of the cross just can’t seem to escape it on any grow but I can’t exactly blame the plant itself for this. The only real good measures we got off this girl are such that the trichome development on the buds is definitely above average. As is overall density at maturity. One other positive outcome was that the plant requires very little in the way of water/nutes and it Carrie’s a somewhat subdued scent when in full bloom. These are all testament to the northern lights roots. One unexpected outcome however was the scent profile post chop. It was like unlocking Pandora’s box when you open the trim bowl - an incredibly strong, terpy fresh scent that I’d almost equate to a mint type of profile. The strength was surprising and usually bodes well for any strain once it’s time to jar it up and cure. Only time will yell and we’re now waiting on the dry. ***post-dry update*** Well, the buds dried up lighter and airy-er than preferred likely due to its time outdoors and an inability to maintain canopy uniformity when it was inside. The grow itself would be a complete and total failure if not for the effects - cerebral awareness with a physical “lightening” effect I would equate to a half decent day time high. Not mind flaying by any stretch but it wasn’t really supposed to be either. The scent profile is pure nail polish remover which is only prevalent when it’s chopped up. These two positive qualities alone will require that we test this further before axing the whole genetic line and moving on to something different. We’ll see what happens in the next couple years. There are definitely other crosses that need to be run first.
