Northern Lights #5 x Haze Strain Overview
Northern Lights #5 x Haze represents a legendary achievement in cannabis breeding, created by crossing the heavy indica Northern Lights #5 with the soaring sativa Haze genetics. This strain was first developed in 1989 by Australian expat and Amsterdam resident Nevil Schoenmakers, and is universally regarded as a high-point in cannabis breeding, with many cannabis scholars considering it unsurpassed even today. Of all the hugely popular varieties launched in the second wave of hybrid development - including Silver Haze, Shiva Skunk and Silver Pearl - NL#5xHaze has always been the most successful, and upon release, this enormously potent and productive seed-strain swept the cannabis awards and sparked something of a 'grass-roots' revolution in breeding.
The strain produces terminal buds that are commonly longer and thicker than a grower's arm, even at indoor heights, with main stems and branches completely obscured by sticky, profusely hairy buds. Its tendency to make a permanent impression on growers owes a great deal to the fact that its Sativa genes are fully and joyfully expressed, instead of being dominated by the power of its Afghani parent, helping to remind the cannabis community that Sativa magic was rapidly being bred out of commercial strains. Nevil's version was used in several Mr. Nice crosses including Super Silver Haze, Mango Haze, G13 Haze, Skunk Haze, Afghan Haze, and Haze AC.
