Holland’s Spliff Seeds produces quality seeds and prides itself on offering fantastic customer service. With Northern Light Special, they have a new take on the legendary Northern Lights family. First bred in Seattle from a Californian plant, Northern Lights is a favorite amongst breeders due to its big, potent buds and fantastic resin production. This ancestor is a very heavy indica hybrid, and comes from a mix of Afghani, the famed ‘true’ indica, Hindu Kush, and Thai. Breeders should be aware that there are two phenotypes: one short and stalky with a compact bud structure and large fan leaves, and another that is reminiscent of a lemon skunk plant.
As expected from a strain with such dominant indica genetics, Northern Light Special plants are short in stature and compact enough to make them great indoors. They are easy to control in a small grow room, but also produce a great yield for plants of their size, making them a good choice for those concerned with getting a big harvest from the smallest amount of grow space. They also grow well outside, where they won’t grow as leggy or tall as some other plants, and they aren’t too fussy about which type of fertilizers you use on them. They can sometimes have a bit of a stretch, but nothing that becomes too invasive on the rest of your space. In fact, a Northern Light Special crop is said to be mostly headache-free in almost any environment. This makes them a particularly good choice for a newbie grower who may not know what to do if their plant is plagued with botrytis or does not respond to nutrient feedings. Also, thanks to the parentage of Hindu Kush, which produces dense, compact buds covering the branches from stalk to tip, Northern Light Special is a huge resin producer and grows very quickly – a beautiful sight for the eyes of any grower!
This plant has a Skunk-like smell, with an earthy honey musk odor, but tastes very sweet. The high is a buzzy, full-body stoned feeling that has smokers in Holland hooked. Due to this soothing high, medicinal marijuana users smoke Northern Light Special to relax and combat chronic pain. The warm buzz is like a giant hug with a tendency towards contemplative aftershocks. It can also result in a serious case of couch lock if you’re not too careful, so make sure the remote is within arm’s reach before you spark up. You can also use the buds to make hash oil to create cannacookies or space brownies, both of which are fantastically potent – so be careful that you don’t get carried away and scarf the whole batch or you may never get up again.
