NL #5 x Haze BX1
Also known as: Northern Lights #5 x Haze BX1, NL5 x Haze BX1
NL #5 x Haze BX1 Strain Overview
NL #5 x Haze BX1 is a carefully bred hybrid strain resulting from the backcrossing of a Northern Lights #5 and Haze hybrid to its Haze parent. This breeding technique (backcrossing or BX1) was employed to stabilize desirable traits while maintaining genetic diversity. The strain represents a strategic combination of two legendary cannabis lineages: the indica-dominant Northern Lights #5, renowned for its resin production and relaxing effects, and the classic sativa Haze, celebrated for its cerebral stimulation and complex aroma profile.
The strain typically produces medium to tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that exhibit a dense structure inherited from the Northern Lights lineage. The flowers are often coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Coloration ranges from deep forest green to lighter lime hues, with occasional purple undertones appearing under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils are commonly interspersed throughout the buds, creating visual contrast.
NL #5 x Haze BX1 is noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The backcrossing process aimed to create a more predictable expression of Haze characteristics while incorporating the growth vigor and resin production of Northern Lights #5. This strain is particularly valued by cultivators seeking a Haze-influenced variety with improved flowering time and yield compared to pure Haze varieties, while maintaining the distinctive Haze aroma and uplifting effects.

NL #5 x Haze BX1 Strain Growing Information
NL #5 x Haze BX1 is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. Flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. The plants exhibit vigorous growth and can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and 200-300 cm outdoors if not trained. Yield is generally good to excellent, with indoor growers reporting 400-600 grams per square meter under optimal conditions.
This strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and are somewhat resistant to common molds and pests, though good air circulation is essential due to the dense bud structure. Growers should monitor humidity levels during late flowering to prevent bud rot.
