NL Automatic
Also known as: Northern Lights Automatic, Auto Northern Lights
NL Automatic Strain Overview
NL Automatic is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed from the legendary Northern Lights genetics, adapted for automatic flowering characteristics. This strain represents a modern breeding achievement that combines the classic qualities of Northern Lights with the convenience of autoflowering technology. The original Northern Lights strain, which emerged in the 1980s from the Pacific Northwest, was crossed with ruderalis genetics to create this automatic version that flowers based on age rather than light cycles.
The strain maintains the classic indica-dominant characteristics of its parent, featuring dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes. NL Automatic plants are generally compact and bushy, making them suitable for various growing environments. The strain has gained popularity among both novice and experienced growers due to its ease of cultivation and reliable performance.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle and consistent growth patterns. As an autoflowering variety, NL Automatic completes its entire life cycle in approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, regardless of light conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking multiple harvests per year. The strain has become a staple in many seed banks' automatic collections due to its stable genetics and predictable outcomes.

NL Automatic Strain Growing Information
NL Automatic is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. The flowering time is approximately 7-8 weeks from seed to harvest. Expected yields range from 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. This strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor cultivation allowing for better environmental control. Plants typically reach heights of 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting as autoflowers prefer to grow in their final containers, maintaining consistent light schedules (though not required for flowering), and providing adequate nutrients during the vegetative stage. The strain is resistant to common molds and pests, making it robust for various growing conditions.
