The Northern Light Special is great for indoor growing, but can be grown outside as well. It is the strongest variety of the world. This strain is short and compact. A lucrative plant for indoor growing with a nice sweet taste.

Northern Light Special

I don't have a lot to compare this grow to, I've always been a social smoker and never really knew what I was consuming. Compared to the other two plants, the Northern Light Special took way more abuse (a 10 day stretch where I forgot to give her water). She took nutrients well and was generally a faster grower than the other two. All in all I'm really happy with the result, despite a being a first time grower I got a nice product. The harvest was unscheduled, pretty much all the fan leaves died out and the buds were starting to turn brown so I decided to chop early. I was worried the unscheduled harvest would kill the potency, but that was alleviated after making some infused coconut oil with 2 cups of trim and 2 cups of coconut oil. The blondies I made with half a cup of the oil was way too potent for me. Two small blondies left me with intense cotton mouth and overly paranoid. I'll try half a blondie next time. The flowers were a little over dry after hanging and are still curing. After a week or so the hay smell started going away leaving a pine / citrus scent.

NONCOMMERCIAL ´GERMAN LEGAL-GROW´ STRAIN-TEST : TOP QUALITY - But not entirely undemanding. Different phenotypes due to a high number of individual parent plants in seed production ( so called : biodiversity - known characteristic & quality mark of the manufacturer) and vital genetic material (= healthy genes, regularly free of mutations such as hermaphroditization etc. , due many crosses - in comparison & contrast to generational long, selective inbred strains of other manufacturers that often have mutations such as hermaphroditization & crippled growth) . Vital vegetative & reproductive groth ( ca. 1 cm per day / 5-7 cm per week ) . Relat. Stable strain & phenos . Extraordiary long ( above 1 cm ) Flower-Stigmas ( White 'hairs' that turn orange with increasing maturity or fertilization ) . Pheno 1 : Sativa-dominant , typical KC Brains - Northern Light 'Special' ( FatFluffypuffy-Flowers ) which are in growth , appearance & flower formation , also as in intense trichome formation , similar to the appearance of "the same strain" (Northern Lights) from Nirvana Seeds NL . Pheno 2: Indica-dominant, similar in growth, appearance & flowering "of the same variety" (Northern Lights) from Sensi Seeds & remembers strongly to the Afghan Parents . Existence of more Phenos . Sex : ca. 1 Seed of 5 is male ( in Regular Seed Packages ) . Germination rate: +-75% ( Information applies to breeder / Depending on seller & transport route - For resellers or long transport routes, e.g. by plane , the germination rate decreases by percentage . Which is naturally of course when you consider that the Living Seeds are rocked across a continent or ocean at temperatures that fluctuate between desert and arctic circle , squeezed and possibly bombarded a few times with X-rays during a package scan .) . Proofed for Clone-Production . Pheno 2 sensitive to pests (esp. Fungus gnats ) , Growing medium : soil substrate with perlites . Planting container : 12 - 25 litre pots , Light : Classic Highpressure-Natriumsteam 250 W (30,000 lumens , High red-& UVA-intensity in the light-spectrum , for resinous flowers ) per sqm (variety sensitive to heat above 30° Celsius , heatstress symptoms : yellow bleached leaves ) , Needs good ventilation (variety sensitive to high humidity above 70% & waterlogging , overwetting symptoms : leaf spot, mould & root rot). Tolerates pruning very well : topped (main shoot cut), trained (Shoot position fixation with binding wire), Defoliated ( shadowing & Fan leafs ), Final plant height : 100 cm . Requires plenty of water & nutrients (mineral. and organ. Grow & Flowering Fertilizer, Booster, PK13/14) . Resistent plants that survive nearly everything ( like swarms of insects , brandings through nutriens and heat , nearly-complete loss of their leafes , or nearby-drown . ) . Yield : Can reach up to 100 grams per plant ( with a average of ca. 10 shoots and the size & pruningtechnic described ) . Inflorescence : 30 x 15 cm. , Dryed Top Bud Size : 15 x 6 cm , Dryed Side Buds / Regular Bud Size : 6 x 3 cm. Quality of the dried buds with appropriate flower care: Very good (fat , resinous - after curing for about 1 month - large, firm, glittering with resin crystals, compact buds, whose above-average good, aroma-rich smoke quality & potency (THC content over 20%) can definitely compete with high-quality & expensive Northern Lights strains from other manufacturers and strongly reminiscent of the good old Northern Lights weed from the coffeeshops of the Netherlands in the 80s & 90s .). At normal dosage a little less effective than Jack Herer (Bedrocan) with officially about 25% THC . Strongly intensifies the subconscious feelings and moods of the consumers. When combined in oral (food) & inhaled (smoking) consumption, a very intense physical & mental high, characterized by a feeling of sea-swell, giggling-flashs , and a slight couch-lockdown. An psychedelic excursion that, in the event of an overdose, can quickly end up slumbering in bed . Pain-Reducing Effect . Stunning : Nearly no tolerance-development , which reduce the high-effect if smoked daily . Subjective experience & statement: I´ve never got to buy something so good & aroma-rich before , here in germany . Breeder-Info : A breeder ( KC Brains Holland https://kcbrains.eu/contact-us/ ) who is consistently renowned in the business, usually quite reliable and reputable , with decades of experience, routine and extensive expertise - A ´home-grown´ company , in the truest sence of the word . Who is - often unjustifiably - badmouthed by competitors & haters . However - Over the decades of his work the public has , not without reason , repeatedly awarded him & his products - such as the present variety - with a lot of prizes and trophys . His product-range also includes the currently largest thc-rich outdoor hemp-varieties , with a height of over 5 meters . The present variety is also , a category of its own - Therefore: 8 out of 10 points. No exaggeration after intense research : Best value for money of all Northern Lights (Cannabis Indica var. Afghan X Cannabis Sativa var. Thai) - Varieties that are currently available on the Global Market . Due to low prices also very suitable for beginners . https://kcbrains.eu/shop/cannabis-seeds/northern-light-special/
