G13/NL2 x NL5
Also known as: G13 x NL2/NL5, G13 Northern Lights Cross
G13/NL2 x NL5 Strain Overview
G13/NL2 x NL5 is a hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossbreeding of the legendary G13 clone with two distinct Northern Lights phenotypes (NL2 and NL5). This strain represents a fusion of two foundational cannabis genetics that have significantly influenced modern breeding programs. The G13 parent contributes to its potent effects and resin production, while the Northern Lights lineage provides robust growth characteristics and classic indica traits. The exact origins of this specific cross are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders having created similar G13 x Northern Lights hybrids over the years, making precise historical documentation challenging.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome coverage. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The buds are often tightly packed with orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. The aroma profile combines earthy, piney notes from the Northern Lights heritage with subtle skunky undertones inherited from the G13 parentage. The flavor when consumed generally follows the aromatic profile, with additional spicy and woody notes becoming apparent.
G13/NL2 x NL5 is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The combination of genetics creates a versatile strain that maintains some of the legendary potency associated with G13 while incorporating the reliable growth patterns and consistent effects of Northern Lights. This strain has been used as breeding stock in various hybrid development programs due to its desirable genetic traits. While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, it remains significant among connoisseurs and breeders interested in classic cannabis genetics.

G13/NL2 x NL5 Strain Growing Information
G13/NL2 x NL5 is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants prefer a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plant height is medium to tall, often requiring some height management indoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering due to heavy bud development. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
