Northern Pride
Also known as: Northern Pride Auto, Northern Pride Feminized
Northern Pride Strain Overview
Northern Pride is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of Northern Lights and a proprietary Pride genetics line. The strain emerged in the early 2000s from breeders seeking to combine the legendary indica characteristics of Northern Lights with more uplifting sativa qualities. While its exact genetic heritage beyond the Northern Lights parentage is not fully documented in public breeding records, the strain has gained recognition among cultivators for its reliable performance and consistent effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a classic indica structure. The flowers are often light to medium green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicative of its Northern Lights lineage. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and the sense of accomplishment growers often report when cultivating this relatively straightforward plant.
Northern Pride is noted for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain has gained particular popularity in European markets and among home growers due to its adaptability to different growing conditions. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Northern Pride has maintained a consistent presence in seed catalogs and among enthusiasts who appreciate its reliable genetics and predictable effects.

Northern Pride Strain Growing Information
Northern Pride is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Northern Pride responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during vegetative growth.
