Dead North
Dead North Strain Overview
Dead North is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) created by crossing Deadhead OG with Northern Lights #5. Originally bred by Melvanetics, this strain represents an F1 cross of a long-kept Deadhead OG keeper from Cali Connections and a 1989 Northern Lights #5 male stud. The strain was developed with careful attention to producing large, chunky buds with complex aromatic profiles and potent sedative effects.
The buds of Dead North are characterized by their oversized spade-shaped structure, displaying olive green coloration with purple undertones inherited from the Northern Lights #5 parent. Amber pistils weave throughout the flowers, which are covered with a coating of pink-tinted white frosty trichomes. The Northern Lights #5 genetics contribute distinctive shades of light pinks and purples to the finished buds, creating impressive bag appeal. Phenotypes grown in outdoor Appalachian climates have shown particularly vibrant coloration with natural fall foliage camouflage, along with notable pest and powdery mildew resistance.
