Overview

Auto Northern Lights is the autoflowering variant of the legendary Northern Lights strain, one of the most famous cannabis cultivars of all time. This strain was originally developed by crossing the classic Northern Lights with ruderalis genetics to create an autoflowering hybrid that maintains the potent effects and characteristics of its renowned parent. Northern Lights itself traces its origins to the 1970s United States, where it was bred from Afghani and Thai landrace strains before making its way to Europe in the 1980s where it became a cornerstone of modern cannabis breeding.

The autoflowering version retains the robust indica-dominant characteristics that made Northern Lights famous, including its exceptional resilience, fast flowering time, and powerful relaxing effects. Auto Northern Lights plants typically grow 80-120cm in height with a classic indica structure featuring broad leaves, dense foliage, and a bushy growth pattern. The strain is celebrated for its ease of cultivation, making it ideal for beginners, as it requires minimal maintenance and shows high resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. The buds are characteristically dense and resinous, covered in trichomes with purple hues often developing under proper conditions, reminiscent of the aurora borealis that inspired the strain's name.
