Grow Info
One of the biggest reasons Northern Lights has risen to be one of the most popular strains in the world is its easy growth routine. It’s resilient and does well fighting off pests and fungi, and the strain is well-suited to both indoor and outdoor growing. In general, though, you can expect a higher yield from Northern Lights plants grown outdoors. This short and stocky indica doesn’t take up much space, but it still grows plenty of dense nugs that can be harvested after just about seven to nine weeks. It’s adaptable enough to thrive in most climates so long as it gets consistent light and has proper drainage.
