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 Special
Northern Lights was first bred in Seattle, Washington and she was based on a Californian strain. Afghani Indica, Hindu Kush and a Thai were used to form Northern Light. She is an almost pure Indica race (90%) of Afghani heritage and contains a high CBD and THC level. We then crossed this amazing Northern Light with a massive budding OG Kush to create our Northern Lights Special. Over 12 generations we stabilized her resulting in very homogenous plants, neigh on identical. Even when cloned. And virtually stressproof. The result is a compact plant with long, candleshaped buds which look like they suffer from frostbite. And will make you sing: ‘I am dreaming of a white Christmas’. The buds are finely structured and rockhard covered in finely grained resin. She is superstable, even as a clone. She has those characteristical wide-fingered Indica leaves and has a darkgreen color. Stalks can be super red, which is absolutely common for this strain and definitely not a nutrient problem. Pregrow for only 2 to 3 weeks and you will end with a plant of medium stature; between 80 cm and a 1 metre. With very few leaves, this plant has a perfect flower to leaf ratio and is easy to manicure. She i
