Double Aurora Borealis
Also known as: Double Aurora, DAB
Double Aurora Borealis Strain Overview
Double Aurora Borealis is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of its parent strains. The strain's name references the enhanced visual and sensory experience users report, reminiscent of the natural aurora borealis phenomenon. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create strains with both potent effects and complex aromatic profiles.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating visual contrast. The nugs are generally medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure that breaks apart to reveal complex internal patterns.
Double Aurora Borealis has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its well-rounded effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though many users prefer it for evening consumption. Its popularity remains moderate within cannabis communities, with particular appreciation among those seeking a strain that offers both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits without overwhelming sedation or stimulation.

Double Aurora Borealis Strain Growing Information
Double Aurora Borealis is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Double Aurora Borealis responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage. The strain prefers a stable environment with temperatures between 68-78°F (20-26°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Relative humidity should be reduced during late flowering to prevent bud rot and enhance resin production.
