NL Automatic
Also known as: Northern Lights Automatic, Auto Northern Lights
What is the NL Automatic strain?
NL Automatic is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
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.
