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 Autoflowering

Northern Lights seeds have been a favourite to many cannabis growers for years because of their easy growing characteristics and great narcotic value. This strain is highly recommended for beginning growers as it is one of the most forgiving strains around. High flower to leaf ratio, compact buds, good yields and exceptional resin production are all characteristics displayed by this amazing strain. Northern Lights autoflowering seeds pass directly from the seedling to the flowering stage, it completely skips the vegetative growth stage, in a process called autoflowering. In other words, when planted, it sprouts, grows a couple sets of leaves, then immediately and automatically begins flowering. As a result, growing this strain goes fast! Northern Lights automatic is a good choice for those who are looking for a heavy, lethargic stoned effect. The smoke is full bodied yet somewhat neutral in flavour. The taste is pungent with a sweet after taste. As a typical Indica the effect is strong, producing a high level of relaxation for the body and the mind. Average height: 115 cm Average indoor yield: 400 g/m² Composition: Sativa 20%, Indica 80% Effect: Strong, very relaxing Indoor floweri
