Northern High Bush-21
Also known as: NHB-21, Northern High Bush #21
Northern High Bush-21 Strain Overview
Northern High Bush-21 is a relatively obscure indica-dominant cannabis strain that appears to be a phenotype selection from the broader Northern High Bush genetic family. The strain's exact origins are not well-documented in mainstream cannabis literature, suggesting it may be a regional or boutique cultivar that hasn't achieved widespread commercial distribution. Based on its name and characteristics, it likely represents a specific numbered phenotype that was isolated and stabilized from the original Northern High Bush breeding project.
The strain exhibits classic indica characteristics with dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile tends toward earthy and woody notes with subtle undertones of pine and spice, consistent with many Northern genetics.
Northern High Bush-21 is noted for its robust growth structure and relatively short flowering period compared to some sativa-dominant varieties. The strain's obscurity means that detailed historical records are limited, and much of the available information comes from grower reports rather than formal breeding documentation. Its name suggests a connection to Northern Lights genetics, which are renowned for their resilience and potency, though the exact lineage remains uncertain without verification from the original breeders.

Northern High Bush-21 Strain Growing Information
Northern High Bush-21 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in temperate climates with consistent sunlight. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and bud development.
