Few cannabis strains have a reputation like Northern Lights – an iconic strain that has left a lasting footprint on the industry since being introduced to the market in the ‘80s. We at Herbies just couldn’t stand aside and bred this evergreen standard ourselves for your pleasure.
Northern Lights is a classic Indica-dominant hybrid originally created by crossing Afghani and Thai landraces. It was first stabilized and introduced by Nevil Schoenmakers in the mid-1980s as a perfect outdoor strain. Since then, it has dominated harvest festivals, winning several Cannabis Cup awards. This famed relaxant gets its name from its distinctive looks; the plants develop resinous, crystal-coated buds that sometimes reveal themselves in hues of green and purple, just like the aurora borealis.
