Growing Tips for Aurora Borealis
Growing Aurora Borealis seeds can be completed by novice cannabis cultivators. The process is simple, and a Mediterranean climate is preferred as it offers ample sunshine, warmth, and the right amount of humidity, each of which is an important ingredient to a healthy grow. This particular strain is super easy to grow if you have an experienced green thumb. If you’ve never grown cannabis before, your best bet at getting this strain to harvest is to grow it either indoors or in a greenhouse, as it grows best in well-controlled conditions. An outdoor grow setup is doable for these plants in regions with long, warm summers, especially because the plants stay short throughout the grow, allowing cultivators to harvest multiple plants at a time. For those growing indoors, a hydroponic setup is the best choice because, once again, the plants grow best in a controlled environment. Maintaining the correct temperature and lighting is most important for these plants to reach their full potential. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels of approximately 40-50% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 30-40% during the flowering stage, will ensure a healthy grow. To boost yield potential, experienced growers often use: Low-Stress Training (LST) and Screen of Green, which encourages horizontal growth for better light exposure. Topping is also a good technique as it changes the canopy to allow light to reach all levels of the plant. The light requirement for the Aurora Borealis feminized strain is 18-20 hours to ensure the proper time of growth. Because this strain is a photoperiod, it requires a change in the light cycle to move into the flowering stage. A 12/12 light cycle should get you through flowering and into harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the AB strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 600 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. These yields are massive, and considering the popularity and potency of this strain, you should be super happy with the amount of harvested cannabis you will be left with after this grow.
- Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
Aurora Borealis: Skunky Sweet
The Aurora Borealis 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 caryophyllene, while myrcene and pinene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The “spicy and peppery” terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Myrcene can be found in a number of cannabis strains and provides the herb with an earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
- Pinene: Pine-Like Flavor – Found most commonly in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene can also be found in several cannabis strains.

When I first decided to grow my own cannabis, excitement coursed through my veins! I picked a set of seeds that promised an awesome experience, and I was eager to dive in. After planting, I eagerly watched as each little seedling broke through the soil, making my heart race! The plants grew more magnificent every day, their striking colors filling my garden with life. The moment I spotted the buds forming, I was in awe of nature’s artistry. The anticipation for harvest was electric! Finally, the day arrived, and after carefully trimming and curing the plants, I was ready for my first puff. The flavors were richer than I ever imagined, and the high was an unbelievably euphoric experience. I felt connected and uplifted, like nothing could bring me down. This journey of growing my own cannabis has been remarkable, and I can’t recommend these seeds enough! Can’t wait for my next round!

Lovely and fresh aurora borealis. I am soooo down for this weed. It’s incredibly easy growing and hits super nice. Like, even if I am having the worst possible day, this MJ is great for upping my spirits and giving me a second chance at happiness and life. It’s also good for creativity, writing and music, that sort of thing. So if you are at all down for some fresh weed, you’ll have an exceptional time growing these fresh seeds from pacific!!

I was getting tired of drinking….so I turned to weed. Can’t tell you how much better I have been feeling mentally. My brain is clear, my mind is safe. I am just thriving off this new hobby of mine 🙂
I thought 10 seeds was not gonna be enough. Uhm….opposite was the case. It’s grown SO much weed that I can’t even keep up.

If you’re looking for a strain that offers a beautiful combination of effects, look no further than Aurora Borealis marijuana. With its 20% THC content, this 50/50 hybrid is perfect for relieving mental weight and promoting a relaxed, clear-headed state.

A sweet and evenly balanced hybrid that allows one to dream and hallucinate as if staring up at the northern lights. One day I’ll see them for real., but now I am just smoking this weed and enjoying the vibes.
Growing MJ at home has saved me a lot of money….and I’d argue that the MJ is higher quality than anything at the store.

recently purchased Aurora Borealis from Pacific and the experience was great. The quality of the seeds were top notch, germination rate was impressive and growth time was quick and easy. Customer service was also outstanding! Yields were good too, creating a stunningly aromatic smoke that provided a smooth and mellow feeling overall. All-in-all, I can highly recommend Aurora Borealis Feminized Seeds for anyone looking for reliable seed.

A nice, evenly-balanced hybrid that is great for smoking almost any time of the day! The fresh, minty taste will make your mouth feel tingly and numb, and your brain will be sent spinning!! Awesome nug with a fresh flavor, and it was even a lot of fun to grow. Can’t complain when I am growing with Pacific seeds, they always have the best seeds in town and their prices are great!

Easiest growing seed I have ever worked with. Took only 2 months to get these plants flowering, harvested, and sparked up to enjoy the sweet flavors. Easy to care for, this should be on everyone’s radar!

This strain was very nicely and evenly balanced, I like when Sativa and Indica meet in the middle like this for a smooth head and body high. This strain is a little skunky which may deter some people but otherwise it is well worth growing.

Makes the world shimmer and shine, perfect at night, watching the sunset, or just chilling with friends. A perfectly balanced 50/50 hybrid and a standard grow. Hit some snags along the way, a lot of pest problems, but a little NEEM oil really does the trick.
You’ll love the feeling of harvesting your own pot. There’s nothing quite like it!

I loved growing Aurora Borealis from Pacific Seed Bank. It was easy to cultivate, and the yield was impressive. The earthy, skunky, and sweet taste is delightful, and the relaxed and talkative high is perfect for unwinding after a long day. I highly recommend this strain to beginner and experienced growers alike.

Oh baby! I wish I could truly see the northern lights. I absolutely love the world out here in the far north. I get my seeds shipped to Alaska (that’s right, just outside anchorage) and I plant them every summer inside before they take hold in the garden Mid-June through September! Short growing season out here for sure, but a GOOD yield and fresh nug.

Even if you haven’t seen the northern lights, you definitely can enjoy aurora borealis. The PERFECT hybrid, especially for those who love the outdoors and love camping. I smoke this before a hike cause it clears my mind and wakes up my body. Puts a smile on my face and generates a lot of great energy!!

One of the more beautiful strains I have ever come across. This weed is tall, bushy, and produces absolutely beautiful nugs. I am a grower of about 10 years, with a small produce farm in the NW. I love growing mj as well as everything else! I am gonna be buying my weed here from now on. The prices are great and the shipping times are fast. It’s been a great ride!
Debra Kaye (verified owner) –
This weed is so YUM! Great flavor and a powerful aroma that gets me HOOKED! Haven’t had any opportunity to smoke this weed before today. It’s so dang fresh, I feel like it just melts into my brain and massages its many folds….you will not regret having this weed at your party or on a Friday night!

Nice to know there’s a powerful but very balanced mj strain out there. Aurora B is great for afternoon smoking. It helps with stress, and depression and usually keeps me from completely crashing at my desk. I am productive, and VERY creative, all cause I got my hands on this hard-to-find hybrid. GREAT bud!
