Northern Auto
Also known as: Northern Lights Autoflower, Northern Lights Automatic
Northern Auto Strain Overview
Northern Auto is an autoflowering variant of the legendary Northern Lights strain, developed to combine the classic characteristics of its parent with the convenience of automatic flowering genetics. This strain was created by crossing the original Northern Lights with a ruderalis strain to introduce the autoflowering trait, allowing it to flower based on age rather than light cycle. The result is a plant that maintains much of the original Northern Lights' genetic profile while offering simplified cultivation suitable for beginners and those with space or time constraints.
Visually, Northern Auto plants typically display the classic indica structure with broad, dark green leaves and dense, resinous buds that are often covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The buds tend to be compact and heavy, with orange pistils weaving through the green calyxes. The plant usually reaches a modest height of 60-100 cm, making it suitable for discreet growing. The autoflowering nature means it completes its entire life cycle in approximately 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest, regardless of light conditions.
Northern Auto is particularly noted for its resilience and adaptability, inheriting the robust nature of its Northern Lights parent while gaining the hardiness of ruderalis genetics. This makes it tolerant of various growing conditions and less susceptible to common cultivation issues. The strain has gained popularity among home growers seeking a reliable, low-maintenance option that delivers consistent results with minimal intervention, while still offering the potent effects and distinctive aroma profile associated with the Northern Lights lineage.

Northern Auto Strain Growing Information
Northern Auto is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. The autoflowering genetics mean it will automatically begin flowering after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth, with a total life cycle of 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically reach 60-100 cm in height and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though they perform well in controlled indoor environments. Expected yields range from 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. The strain is relatively resilient to temperature fluctuations and common pests, but benefits from stable conditions. No light cycle manipulation is required due to the autoflowering trait. Training techniques should be gentle as autoflowers have limited recovery time.
