Northern Automatic
Also known as: Northern Auto, Northern Lights Automatic
What is the Northern Automatic strain?
Northern Automatic is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
Northern Automatic is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed from the classic Northern Lights genetics, bred specifically for its ease of cultivation and consistent performance. This strain represents a modern adaptation of the legendary Northern Lights, incorporating ruderalis genetics to create an autoflowering variety that maintains many of the desirable characteristics of its parent while offering simplified growing requirements. The development of Northern Automatic reflects the cannabis breeding community's ongoing efforts to create strains suitable for novice growers and those seeking reliable results with minimal intervention.
Visually, Northern Automatic plants typically display the dense, resinous bud structure characteristic of indica-dominant varieties, with deep green foliage often accented by purple hues in cooler temperatures. The buds are typically compact and heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The autoflowering nature of this strain means it transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle, making it particularly suitable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking multiple harvests per year.
Northern Automatic is noted for its relatively short life cycle, typically completing its growth from seed to harvest in 8-10 weeks. This rapid maturation, combined with its manageable plant size (usually reaching 60-100 cm in height), makes it popular for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain's resilience and adaptability have contributed to its reputation as a reliable choice for beginners, though experienced growers also appreciate its consistent performance and the quality of its final product.
