This strain is easy to grow indoors and outdoors, making it a popular choice for those living in colder climates. Although its flowering time is short, its yield is high.
The strain has a sweet aroma that is reminiscent of a pine forest. Its buds are covered with frosty trichomes, which tease the taste of potency.
Northern Lights is the parent of several other famous strains, including Super Silver Haze. As such, it is one of the most popular cannabis varieties.
The strain was first developed in Seattle, Washington. Over the years, it has been crossed with many different cannabis strains, giving it a distinctive flavor.
The name of the strain is a reference to the bright orange hairs found on its lime-green leaves. Its smell is described as sweet and spicy. Often times, users of the strain experience relief from chronic pain and anxiety.
Indica-based, Northern Lights has a long history of propagation. One of its parents contributed to its stocky build and high yield. Another contributor was a low-odor and ease of cultivation.
The plant is resistant to pests and disease. It also has a reputation for being resilient during growth.
The strain can be harvested after 55 days of flowering. It is recommended for use in the evenings, as it produces a relaxing and calming high.
Trichomes are small, hair-like structures that form on the outside of cannabis flowers. They serve several functions. Firstly, they help protect the flower from wind and animals. Second, they store terpenes and other compounds in their outer cuticle. Third, they produce cannabinoids, a class of cannabis compounds.
The trichomes on cannabis flowers come in many shapes. Bulbous trichomes are the smallest. Their diameter is about 10 to 15 microns. Capitate-stalked trichomes are the largest. These trichomes are the ones that produce the highest concentrations of cannabinoids.
In the beginning stages of flowering, the trichomes are clear, but over time, they can change to a cloudy or opaque head. This makes it difficult to identify them without a microscope. It is also possible to see them in different colours. For example, some trichomes have a deep blue/purple colouration.
Some studies indicate that the non-glandular trichomes may play a crucial role in the health of cannabis plants. However, evidence is needed to prove that these secondary metabolites are the primary defense mechanism.
Capitate sessile trichomes are slightly larger. They have a mushroom-shaped head and a short base. The head is made up of a resin gland. Between the trichome's head and the resin gland, there are specialist cells.
These specialized cells are responsible for the production of essential hemp industry products. Terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids are stored in the trichomes.
There are three types of trichomes: simple unicellular, bulbous, and capitate-stalked. While simple unicellular trichomes are non-glandular, bulbous and capitate-stalked trichomes are glandular.
The high amount of CBD found in the Indica flower tends to affect the way people feel. This effect can help people deal with pain, fatigue, and anxiety. However, it is not universal.
Indica-dominant strains relax the body and mind, and may be good for treating migraines, arthritis, and chronic pain. They also tend to have higher CBD levels than Sativa-dominant strains.
Hybrids are also a good choice for people looking for relaxation, restfulness, and wellness. You can choose from a variety of hybrids that contain the best qualities of both Indica and Sativa. Some hybrids are even crossbred with two different strains. These hybrids can be more Indica-like than a pure Sativa.
Choosing between indica and sativa-dominant strains can be confusing, as there are many options out there. Often, a hybrid can have significantly different effects than a pure Indica or Sativa. It is important to find a hybrid that has a balanced blend of the two.
An example of an indica-dominant hybrid is Harle-Tsu. This hybrid was created by crossing Sour Tsunami with a Harlequin strain. Harle-Tsu is a high-CBD strain with a mellow high. Despite its relaxing properties, it is also an excellent painkiller.
Wedding Cake is another indica-dominant hybrid. A cross between Triangle Kush and Animal Mints, this is a great choice for those with sleep disorders, appetite loss, or a lack of energy.
Super Silver Haze is a good choice for creative daytime smoking. With a 17% CBD content, it is an effective painkiller.
