Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Northern Lights #3 Auto

Northern Lights # 3 Auto is a result of Afghani x Thai Landrace (Backcrossing with Sweet Autoflowering Clone), it is about 75% indica with the genetic balance provided by ruderalis. This strain produces good yields of dense resin coated indica buds and is an easy to grow plant with great texture. Flowering time lasts between 9 and 12 weeks, depending on the phenotype found. Northern Lights is a plant that doesn’t smell as much as many other varieties and is therefore suitable for stealth growing close to neighbors. Plants stay fairly compact, especially indoors, although planted directly into the ground outdoors they will grow a little larger and respond well to greater amounts of sunlight. As with all autoflowering plants, growers in warmer climates will be able to harvest at least two crops per season and possibly three. Inside each plant is capable of producing about 100 gr. with plants grown outdoors that produce much more to a maximum of 250 gr / plant. The flavor is woody, sweet and pungent with some spicy notes, with hints of sour vanilla on the finish. THC production should be around 17-18% with only 1% CBD. The effect is very similar to indica, a sense of physical and ment
