Also known as: Atomic Northern Lights
What is the Atomic NL strain?
Atomic NL is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and honey flavor profile.
Atomic NL is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain composed of 65% indica and 35% sativa genetics, originally developed by Dr. Atomic Seeds and represents a mostly indica strain with approximately 14-20% Sativa component that provides the lingering and prolonged high. The strain has a rich history of world travel that traces back to the 1980s when Afghani indica seeds were brought to the U.S. and bred with Thai Haze, resulting in Northern Lights, which became a three-time Cannabis Cup winner during its stay in Holland where it was developed and stabilized by Sensi. Northern Lights then traveled to Canada where Dr. Atomic Seeds recrossed it with its own distant relatives, creating an indica-dominant strain with fast flowering times (approximately 8 weeks), short stocky plants, and a mind/body sensation with an uplifting effect. Dr. Atomic Seeds is considered one of the closest versions of the original Northern Lights developed in the 80s. The strain is known as a pungent strain with a sweet flavor, offering sour notes of lime and a punchy tobacco undertone with a touch of honey. Atomic NL can be cultivated indoors where the plants will need a flowering time of approximately 56 days and was never available as feminized seeds from Dr. Atomic Seeds.
