One of the oldest stabilised indoor cultivars still in commercial production and an ancestor of a large share of modern indicas. A short flowering time and reliable structure made it the backbone of the 1990s breeding scene. Rarely the loudest jar on the shelf and rarely disappointing.

Chemotype

Everything above is reference information about Northern Lights as a cultivar. It carries no score because we have not bought any and scoring something we have not smoked would be worthless.
