Growing Tips for Atomic Northern Lights
Atomic Northern Lights can be grown indoors or outdoors by experienced cannabis cultivators. However, it is recommended that you grow your plants outdoors as the strain performs best in an outdoor grow setup. This strain is sturdy and has a good resistance to mold and mildew as well as pests. It can be grown by inexperienced growers as long as they pay attention to every step of the grow. Intermediate to master level growers will have an easier time bringing this strain to harvest. The strain requires steady temperatures, humidity, and lighting to really thrive. Providing the best environment possible will go a long way when it comes to harvesting larger yields after a relatively short flowering time. The ideal temperature for these plants is 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it at 40-60% during the vegetative growth stage. To get the plants through to the flowering stage, you will need to drop the humidity to a steady 40-50% to avoid mold, mildew, and bud rot. Topping and Low-stress training (LST) are the best methods for this plant. The plant grows with leaves that form a canopy. Topping and trimming those top leaves will allow light to reach even the lowest buds, creating an even grow and increasing your yields come harvest time. These plants do well with an 18-hour light schedule during the vegetative phase. Switching to a 12/12 light cycle once you hit the flowering stage will help you get to harvest with the biggest buds possible.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Atomic Northern Lights strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. These yields are decent considering the amount of effort it takes to bring this strain to harvest. Because the plants are shorter than average, you can plant multiple plants in the same grow and increase your harvest exponentially.
- Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
Atomic Northern Lights: Earthy & Pungent
The Atomic Northern Lights terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is pinene, while terpinolene and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.
- Pinene: Most Dominant – Pinene is found most commonly in pine needles, conifer trees, and in certain strains of cannabis.
- Terpinolene: Secondary Terpene – Combines well with cannabinoids. This terpene is responsible for the woody and floral aroma of cannabis.
- Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene can be found in a number of cannabis strains and provides the herb with an earthy and woody flavor and aroma.

I smoke MJ medically to help with my symptoms. Atomic Northern Lights may not be for everyone, but I sure to love it for myself. Buying online has made this process so much easier. You can really taste the difference in quality from store-bought weed to the stuff you grow at home. The prices were great and the yields were pretty much as expected.

Took me a few tries to get it right. Don’t get me wrong, I always got a decent yield, but in terms of shape, texture, buzz….yeah it took me about 3 seasons of working with this strain to get it right. Every strain is a little different. They all have their own personalities and like certain conditions. Atomic NL is all about hot and humid, so if you have a greenhouse, you are in LUCK!

Some beautiful nug at an unbeatable price!!! Gotta have this weed in your backyard, otherwise what are you doin? This is some powerful stuff. It hits really hard! No wonder they call it atomic!!! Not for the faint hearted. Best smoked with friends when you wanna jam or have a relaxing night of stupid movies. Don’t be fooled by the haters. Pacific seeds is the best online seed bank anywhere in Canada!

A bomb-blast of flavor and a gorgeous pink and green flower. This weed is uplifting, but also induces some numbness and tingly sensations in the limbs. I really appreciate the growing profile as well. A festive mix of flavors and energy. The perfect hybrid for chilling out and relaxing. I will definitely buy more!!

Got my seeds in the mail yesterday. They’re looking great, like tiny round marbles, and they are currently soaking in some water for the next day or two. I think this will help with germination. I can’t wait to put them in the ground in spring!!

I had some minor laproscopic surgery a few months ago and have been smoking atomic for the tingly numb feeling I get cause it reduces pain and discomfort. Ultimately it’s been a good time, helps me with depression and inflammation which in my mind is the ultimate goal. Weed is powerful magic, use it wisely 🙂

Better to soak your seeds overnight for better germination. Powerful plant, tall and pungent, with a flower that looks almost violent with color. Very exciting stuff, especially if you like to party.

Have been a grower in Humboldt county in the past, and I got tired of that lifestyle so decided to retire and just grow for myself. I was happy to see there is an online seed bank with this much selection, and with these fast shipping times it’s more reliable than my normal seed sources. Very powerful strain, always a good buy though cause the yield is usually nearing 1 oz per plant, and it cures nicely and lasts a long time!
