Northern Poison
Also known as: Northern Lights Poison, NL Poison
What is the Northern Poison strain?
Northern Poison is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Northern Poison is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two legendary parent strains. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a potent hybrid that would preserve the best qualities of its famous lineage while introducing new characteristics. The strain represents a deliberate cross between Northern Lights and Poison strains, resulting in a plant that exhibits traits from both indica and sativa varieties.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers are often medium to large in size, displaying a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the flower structure. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
Northern Poison has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate its heritage and the unique combination of effects it offers. The strain's rarity in commercial markets means that specific information can vary between different breeders' versions.
