Auto Northern
Also known as: Auto Northern Lights, Northern Lights Autoflower
What is the Auto Northern strain?
Auto Northern is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
Auto Northern is an autoflowering cannabis strain derived from the classic Northern Lights genetics, developed to provide the desirable traits of its photoperiod parent in an automatic flowering format. This strain emerged during the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the robust, resinous qualities of Northern Lights with the convenience of autoflowering genetics from Ruderalis lineage. The result is a compact, fast-finishing plant that maintains many of the characteristics that made Northern Lights legendary in cannabis culture.
Visually, Auto Northern plants typically exhibit a bushy, indica-dominant structure with dense, resin-coated buds that display various shades of green, often accented with purple hues in cooler temperatures. The buds are known for their heavy trichome coverage, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's autoflowering nature means it transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those seeking multiple harvests in a single season.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle and resilience to environmental stressors. While maintaining the classic Northern Lights aroma profile, Auto Northern has been stabilized to produce consistent results across different growing conditions. The strain represents a significant development in cannabis breeding, demonstrating how autoflowering technology can be successfully applied to preserve and propagate desirable traits from established photoperiod varieties.

How do you grow Auto Northern?
Auto Northern is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The plants typically complete their life cycle in 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, with flowering occurring automatically around weeks 3-4. Expected yields range from 300-500 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring temperate climates with consistent temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C). Plants usually reach heights of 60-100 cm (24-40 inches) indoors and up to 120 cm (47 inches) outdoors. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (direct sowing recommended), providing consistent light schedules (18-20 hours of light daily for optimal growth), and maintaining moderate humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold. The autoflowering nature means plants cannot be cloned, so each cycle requires new seeds.
