Northern Light x Northern Light
Also known as: Northern Light IBL, Northern Light Inbred Line, NL IBL
Northern Light x Northern Light Strain Overview
Northern Light x Northern Light, often referred to as Northern Light IBL (Inbred Line), is a stabilized pure indica strain created through selective breeding of the original Northern Light genetics. This strain represents a backcrossing project where Northern Light was crossed with itself multiple generations to create a genetically uniform version that consistently expresses the classic Northern Light characteristics. The breeding process aimed to preserve and enhance the desirable traits of the original while eliminating genetic variability.
The strain maintains the quintessential Northern Light appearance with dense, resinous buds that are typically light to medium green in color, often displaying purple hues under cooler temperatures. The buds are covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The plant structure is compact and bushy, characteristic of pure indica varieties, with broad leaves and tight internodal spacing.
Northern Light x Northern Light is renowned for its consistency and reliability, both in cultivation and effects. As an inbred line, it offers predictable growth patterns and uniform cannabinoid profiles across different phenotypes. This strain has become a favorite among breeders seeking stable indica genetics for hybridization projects and among growers who value consistency in their harvests. The aroma is typically sweet and earthy with subtle spicy undertones, while the flavor profile leans toward pine and sandalwood with a smooth, creamy smoke.

Northern Light x Northern Light Strain Growing Information
Northern Light x Northern Light is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. It has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks indoors and is typically ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. The plant remains relatively short, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where its compact structure can be maximized. The strain is resistant to common molds and pests, making it forgiving for novice growers. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers typically harvesting 400-500 grams per square meter. The plant responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to increase yield.
