I am a 60 year old male who has had two back surgeries and have a myopathy called Pompe disease. I am about at the end of my time here on earth as this disease progresses and the best medicine I have found to relieve the pain has come from this plant. I was on the “normal” protocol of opiates from my doctor for years and then I tried this strain. Daily usage has allowed me to greatly reduce the dosage of the Morphine and Oxycodone with their awful side effects, and I live a much better life since using this strain.

I have 40+ years experience growing and using cannabis, a masters degree in agri/horticulture from MSU and will break each review down as follows from my own personal experience with seeds or clones obtained directly from the original breeders. There are many breeders selling this version of this awesome creation and although they have their differences, they are all good in their own way and are very similar unlike a lot of other old time popular strains. I have personally grown seeds from Sensi Seeds, Nirvana, and one other breeder that I am unsure of because I bought them through one of the larger seed banks about 10 years ago. All of them were similar in every category so this review applies to at least the two names mentioned and from what I have seen from other seeds obtained from other breeders, they are mostly very similar as well. There is a reason this is on the list of top 25 strains of all time and I believe its because you basically can’t go wrong with this strain as far as quality and consistency. USE; The characteristics of this plant use wise are all indica with all of the physical effects one would expect from an indica. It’s not a strain for the morning if you want to get anything done but it is great for those lazy days or in the evening, especially if you have sleep problems. It’s a great strain for pain and insomnia. Looks and taste are average but the effects are the reason you will like this strain. There are slight differences between strains from different breeders, but most duplicate the original. GROW; Indoors; The consistency here is very good as well. The three strains from the breeders mentioned all flowered a little longer than they suggest but ht could just be my preference and I also do not use your standard 12/12 light cycle throughout the entire flowering cycle as I start it higher and decrease it with time below 12 hours. All of them took 7-8 weeks. Outdoors this strain is a champion, with high yields, high resistance to mold and other growing factors and a fairly early harvest time, being around Oct. 1st. Some may want them to go longer but in my situation and location where cold weather and people activity increases after Oct. 1st, you can plan to harvest this by then and have an A+ grade product.

Hands down best weed I’ve smoked. This tree really releases all of your blocks. On your mind and your body. Your thoughts just flow to you effortlessly. And the relief of my back pain almost made tears of joy come up. I couldn’t feel any pain whatsoever(chronic back pain from injury). Doesn’t feel like an indica at all. I’m a sativa guy. I need more of this in my life.

Did exactly what the description says. It’s an indica people, definitely NOT for daytime use (unless you want to sleep during the day). Wasn’t sure it was going to live up to the hype, but me likey. Whoever grew this crop did it right. Your troubles and any pain will melt away. You won’t melt into the couch, but I didn’t want to leave, lol. Be one with the Northern Lights… You are the Northern Lights. Let it slowly ease you into la lal land. Seriously, you won’t be able to resist sleep an hour or two in. Next morning woke up very rested, relaxed, and happy. No stress here!! What else… No negative side effects!

Finally got to try this well-renowned strain, beautifully extracted into shatter. Upon first dab, I was feeling great! For the first ~20 minutes, was relaxing, calming, slowly vaporizing me just as the banger did the shatter. I didn’t realize it, I thought my insomnia was going to continue, my poor day the same, and late-night anxiety on red alert. WRONG! This strain gently laid me into a deep sense of relaxation, my thoughts calm, mellow, “spacey” as the last review says definitely fits. I would absolutely love to see this flower and smoke it too, however the dab allowed me to fully enjoy a unique taste and experience. Now that the review is over, my relaxation is about to fade into a blissful nights sleep. Thank you Northern Lights, for keeping my sky safe as I sleep blanketed below you.

Nothern Lights hits you up really strong. Felt as if time stopped and my head took the first flight to planet euforia! Great taste, sweet but pine. Fiji Water tasted delicious hahaha. 5/5 would buy

I just smoked a joint of Northern Lights this morning and I am indeed high as fuck. So, with that out of the way I’ll try and leave a somewhat intelligible review. Holy shit I don’t know if that makes sense. Uhm, this is very potent and I am a new smoker. Over Thanksgiving break I stopped for a week and now my tolerance is back at day one. This feels a little bit psychedelic. Like, a baby drop of acid. Like, I feel pretty awesome. You guys are laughing at this post aren’t you. Ha. 🙂 I’m going to be playing on my playstation, if you don’t mind getting your ass kicked by a girl then add me.

Good night!!!😴😴😴 I had so much energy until I smoked this. Awesome strain. Its not loud or pungent in flavor nor aroma. Pretty light until you take a puff. Like most indicas this was a slow groove high that kinda crept up on you.

I got a batch of Northern Lights wax from Native Roots and thought it really deserved a review. The taste was that of sweet smooth earth. If that makes sense, its super nice actually not overwhelming but just right. As for effects the vibrating body buzz from this stuff was real. Multiple nights it knocked me out with the lights on. Very power stuff, enjoyable as hell but potent! That said, if you’re looking for a strong, pleasant tasting indica you should probably check this stuff out. 10/10

A great indica for sex. As a strain for sex, Northern Lights does what the best indicas do: reduces anxiety, relaxes, and lowers inhibitions but without numbing or making you overly sleepy. It enhances sensations and slows things down to let you take your time enjoying each other. Highly recommended. We are 50-somethings who vape and have sex pretty much daily. All our reviews focus on our experiences mixing cannabis and sex. We only rate after using an oz so the reviews give a well-rounded impression that captures a strain’s potential, downsides, and typical effects.

You want to melt into your furniture and chill for awhile? Haven’t slept in days and need to count those sheep? Fam, this strain is the bees fuckin knees. I ran out of my sleeping pills and the closest appointment is a month away. I can say with 100% CERTAINTY that this strain will be part of my nightly bowl so I can go to freakin sleep!

A true Classic that still holds its ground! Smoked this the first time more than 15 years ago in Copenhagen and although it’s a cult-classic up here in Scandinavia never stumbled across it again. Not even in Amsterdam.. Until now! It is even better than i remembered. A flawless Indica with Classic indica traits. . Whatever pains and bruises you have this will make you forget all about. I find it perfect after a hard round at the gym. Relaxes and gives your whole body (and mind) a powerful buzz. It’s a strong indica suited for seasoned smokers, but even tho it can knock you down on your ass you will fel no paranoia. Just a sweet, sweet trip to the Aurora Borealis realm. ..

I’m not normally an Indica fan. A friend of mine shared some of his NL with me during a sesh. I was unaware of what he had packed as we sit around matching bowls while shooting the breeze. As soon as I hit this, I knew it was an amazing strain. It was like it shut all thought processes down, putting me into a very happy and relaxed state. A genuine stress melter. I woke up this morning with a splitting headache, smoked an entire joint of Northern Lights, now it’s as if I never had a headache at all.

Northern Lights won me to Team Indica. I suffer from OCD, social/generalized anxiety, arthritis and muscle spasms in my back. Most hybrids and sativa’s have made me paranoid as all hell. This might be my favorite strain so far. The overall effect was calm, relaxed, without racing thoughts, and a definite decrease in pain. I’m really new to Medical Marijuana and have only tried Blue Dream and Purple AK47 besides Northern Lights.

Beautiful strain. Very peaceful. I couldn’t tell which way was north but I saw lights.
