Northern Lights #10 Feminized

Northern Light (NL) is one of the first strains that changed the landscape of cannabis horticulture over the last three decades. First bred in Seattle during the late 1970s, NL found its way to Holland where, under the expert hands of a master breeder, it spawned 11 Indica plants. Northern Lights #10, in this case, is the tenth phenotype.

A descendant of a pure Afghani landrace and a Thai Sativa, this strain impresses with a generous yield of alluringly resinous buds, vigorous growth, fast flowering rate, and resilience. Moreover, it offers a profoundly sedating experience that can knock out even veterans. Such exceptional qualities are a testament of its quintessential lineage, which also served as the basis for its being chosen to parent several strains such as Aurora Borealis.

Homegrown Cannabis Co.’s ever-expanding cannabis inventory now includes feminized Northern Lights #10 seeds. It promises predominantly female sprouts, thereby ensuring a fuss-free cultivation process.

Growing Northern Lights #10 from Feminized Seeds

As expected, Northern Lights #10 features the classic traits of an Indica. It sports a compact frame with sparse internodal spacing, thick branches, and insanely dense and resinous colas. It is also mostly impervious to molds, disease-causing pathogens, and harsh weather conditions. These traits make it an ideal introductory strain.

Its compact stature makes indoor growing possible. In controlled environments, maintain adequate warmth (21-27°C) and humidity levels (40-50%) by setting up an efficient ventilation system. Pruning excess foliage is also an excellent measure as it prevents moisture-buildup and mold proliferation.

To set it up for explosive growth, use a hydroponics setup coupled with the Sea of Green technique. Doing so not only expedites the vegging process; it also boosts productivity. When cultivated under optimal conditions, expect to harvest 550 grams of trichome-laden buds per square meter after 6 to 8 weeks of flowering.

Opting for outdoor cultivation is also a viable option that yields more reward. NL #10 loves basking under the sun and doing enables it to produce up to 500 grams of fat nuggets by the first week of October.

Fragrance and Flavor

This strain entices the senses with a musky, pine-like aroma with notes of hashish, cedarwood, sandalwood, and maple. During the exhale, it leaves a spicy aftertaste along with sweet, sour, and floral flavors.

Effects

Upon lighting up Northern Lights #10 and taking a couple of hits, an immediate sense of cerebral euphoria washes over the senses. Quickly, it enhances the mood by getting rid of the mental baggage weighing one down. As one would expect from a predominantly Indica strain, it exerts potent relaxing properties that compel one to lie down, do nothing except for getting lost in introspection. This relaxing vibe soothes away stress, fatigue, muscle tensions, and any discomfort thus making it a perfect companion for unwinding at the end of a busy day.

Despite such pleasant psychoactive effects, going low and slow is always the best way to enjoy the benefits. Doing so limits the side effects to cottonmouth and dry eyes only, whereas going overboard may trigger adverse reactions such as anxiety or paranoia.

Medical

Apart from offering euphoric and relaxing effects, Northern Lights #10 also grants long-lasting relief from aches and discomforts - be it psychological, emotional, or physical in nature.

A cocktail of cannabinoids and terpenes bestow fast-acting euphoria that drives away stress, anxiety, and melancholy. It also exerts mood-stabilizing properties that help alleviate the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Even better, it does not incite the same severe adverse effects that traditional antidepressants and anxiolytics do. Thus, NL #10 could serve as a viable alternative for mitigating the manifestations of depression and anxiety disorders.

On the physical level, NL #10’s relaxing properties provide lasting relief from symptoms of arthritis, migraine, fibromyalgia, spasticity, and other chronic conditions. Such therapeutic benefits are made possible by natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
