CBD Northern Lights
Also known as: CBD NL, Northern Lights CBD
CBD Northern Lights Strain Overview
CBD Northern Lights is a high-CBD, low-THC phenotype of the classic Northern Lights strain, developed specifically for users seeking the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without strong psychoactive effects. This strain was created by selectively breeding Northern Lights plants that exhibited naturally higher CBD content, preserving the iconic indica characteristics while significantly altering the cannabinoid profile. The development represents a modern breeding trend toward creating accessible cannabis varieties with minimal intoxication potential.
Visually, CBD Northern Lights maintains the classic Northern Lights appearance with dense, resinous buds that display a deep green color often accented by purple hues and a thick coating of trichomes. The plant structure is typically compact and bushy, characteristic of its indica heritage. The aroma combines earthy, pine, and sweet notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor profile delivers a smooth smoke with herbal and woody tones.
Notable features include its balanced cannabinoid ratio that typically ranges from 1:2 to 1:4 THC:CBD, making it suitable for daytime use and for those sensitive to THC's psychoactive effects. The strain has gained popularity in medical cannabis programs and among wellness-oriented consumers seeking relief without significant impairment. Its development reflects the growing demand for cannabis varieties that provide therapeutic benefits while maintaining clear-headed functionality.

CBD Northern Lights Strain Growing Information
CBD Northern Lights is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be controlled, though it can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates. It maintains a compact height of 80-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training). Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain is resistant to common pests and molds, making it relatively low-maintenance compared to some other high-CBD varieties.
