Description
As well known as its namesake, Northern Lights (with a handful of prestigious awards under its belt) marijuana is arguably one of the most famous strains the cannabis world has ever seen. This pure indica is full of light, lauded for its resinous buds and resilience.
Word around town is that this flashy strain was first germinated in Seattle, Washington, though it’s origins are also traced to Holland in the 1980s. Itself a hybrid, descended of indigenous Afghani and Thai landrace strains, Northern Lights often shares parentage with new breeds like popular Shiva Skunk and Super Silver Haze.
The Original Harvest Northern Lights marijuana seeds sit at the higher end of the cannabinoid spectrum with 22% THC, smoke Northern Lights and get a full-body relaxation, what we in the community like to call a “couch lock”, and often, a dreamy euphoria that allows for rest, and relaxation (which may explain why so many people commonly refer to it as a “two hit and quit” strain).
A hint at where its name was derived, Northern Lights buds will sometimes pop with beautiful purple hues, and a thick coating of cannabinoid-rich resin gives the plant a snow-capped appearance.
Breeders love Northern Lights, not only for its genetics, but because it is one of the fastest flowering strains around, needing only an average of about 47 days spent in the . Bare in mind, this strain will usually reach a height of about four feet (though it can get taller outdoors), it is shorter than most indica breeds. The bushy shape and wide, dark green leaves more than make up for its shorter stature. And while you could successfully cultivate these seeds outdoors if the climate is warm, but to have complete control, set it up with hydroponics and take advantage of the Sea of Green or Screen of Green methods to maximize small gardening.

Every time I opened the tent in late flower, the sweet pine smell was the first thing to hit me. It’s a deeply satisfying aroma that builds and builds through the flowering cycle. Cured flower kept that profile beautifully — earthy and sweet with a clean piney edge.
Trim day smelled like pine and earth and something subtly sweet.
I grew this specifically for the body effect and it didn’t disappoint. After curing, the flower produced exactly the kind of deep, whole-body relaxation that full indica should deliver. Euphoric and dreamy at first, then progressively heavier and more settled. Outstanding for evening use.
These feminized Northern Lights Auto seeds delivered exactly what was promised — every seed came up female. The plants stretch nicely in veg and are in week 8 of flower. Yield is looking to be around about up to 400g/m².
I’ve used Northern Lights Auto specifically as a teaching strain for newer growers in my community because it communicates what it needs clearly and responds visibly to what you give it. When it’s thirsty, the leaves droop slightly. When it’s overfed, the leaf tips show it. When the humidity is too high, the growth slows. And when everything is right, it grows with visible vigor and produces something genuinely impressive. It’s a plant that gives you feedback and helps you become a better grower in the process.
Tried using Fox Farms Ocean Forest as recommended. The Northern Lights Auto plants showed strong root zone development by week two. Currently in flower and the bud structure is absolutely stunning. Pacific Seed Bank’s growing tips are spot on.
I’ve run Northern Lights Auto as a comparison strain whenever I try something new. Every new strain I introduce to my grow room gets a direct comparison to the Northern Lights Auto run happening alongside it. The results over years of comparisons: Northern Lights almost always wins on trichome density, frequently wins on flavor profile, and consistently produces the most reliably full-body experience of any indica auto I’ve run. The newer, trendier strains occasionally beat it on visual novelty or aromatic complexity. But on the combination of grow quality, bud quality, flavor, and effect, Northern Lights Auto is the most consistently excellent strain I’ve grown. It’s not that nothing else competes — it’s that nothing else competes across all categories simultaneously.
As a seasoned grower I was a bit nervous to try Northern Lights Auto. 9 out of 10 germinated in under two days. The plants have been vigorous and the structure is exactly what I hoped — open canopy structure. Would absolutely recommend to any home grower.
Pacific Seed Bank germination guide was super helpful.
I’ve been growing for 7 years and these Northern Lights Auto seeds are among the most impressive I’ve ordered online. Germination was impressive and the plants have stayed strong through every stage. Pacific Seed Bank has earned my trust.
