Northern Lights #5

Northern Lights #5 is widely considered to be the most influential and sought-after version of this legendary strain, first brought to the world in the 1980s. This Afghan Indica landrace line-based hybrid cultivar is said to have some Thai influences, but there’s no consensus about genetic lineage. On the palate, Northern Lights #5 buds pack a slightly pungent flavor profile dominated by earth, pine, woody notes, and some sweet spiciness in the finish. Consumers should know that the high comes on fast and strong with deep relaxation and proper sedation, ideal for evening settings. The mild euphoric thoughts are pleasant and not overwhelming, while THC can reach up to 26%. Sleepiness will come at some point. Medically, Northern Lights #5 shines as an aid when dealing with stress, insomnia, pain-related issues of a chronic nature, and muscle tension. On the growing side these are high-yielding and extremely resinous plants that are suited for indoor and outdoor cultivation, although they really thrive indoors. The flowering period spans 7 to 10 weeks, yielding up to 600g/m² They’re relatively easy to grow, reliable, and resistant to mold.
