Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant

Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the lab-verifiable signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). Cannabinoid type is set largely by a single gene (the THC:CBD ratio); about 96% of commercial flower is Type I, THC-dominant. Terpene profiles are sourced from Certificates of Analysis (COA) and roll out as Areto’s lab-verified data comes online.

Flowering type

Autoflowering This is an autoflowering cultivar — a genuine ruderalis-derived genetic trait (it flowers by age, not light cycle). That’s a real, heritable distinction, unlike the indica/sativa label above.

About Northern Lights Auto

Northern Lights Auto is a stable high-yielding strain with a high THC content of up to 23%. NL Auto is highly adaptable to all growing environments; indoors it grows into a small to medium-sized plant enjoying 18 hours of light per 24 and finishing its life-cycle in 55 - 60 days. The strain yields up to 500 g/m2. Outdoors it can grow into a larger plant, maxing out at 150 cm. tall and providing approximately 200 gr/plant. Whatever the environment it is a plant that does not like high levels of nutrients preferring lower levels of slow-release plant food. Short-term autos such as NL Auto can provide two crops per season in all but very high latitudes with as many as three being feasible in Mediterranean climates. Some plants display blue and purple colourations as they near maturity. Both scent and taste convey a sweet, fruity character with plum jam and earthy pine notes present. THC production is very high at an amazing 23% while CBD is at 0.5%. It has a powerful body effect commensurate with its mostly indica status and also provides mental relaxation as well
