Northern Tropic
Also known as: Northern Tropics
Northern Tropic Strain Overview
Northern Tropic is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a tropical twist on classic Northern genetics. While its exact breeding history is not as extensively documented as some mainstream strains, it appears to be a cross between Northern Lights and a tropical sativa variety, possibly Hawaiian or Jamaican in origin. This combination aims to blend the robust, resinous qualities and relaxing effects of Northern Lights with the uplifting, cerebral characteristics of tropical sativas.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and conical in structure, often displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. Northern Tropic is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, piney notes from its Northern Lights heritage with sweet, fruity undertones from its tropical lineage. The strain has gained popularity among cultivators for its relatively short flowering time compared to pure sativas while maintaining some of their desirable characteristics. Its genetic background makes it adaptable to various growing conditions, though it thrives in controlled environments where its tropical sativa traits can be properly managed.

Northern Tropic Strain Growing Information
Northern Tropic is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height, with indoor plants typically growing 100-150 cm tall and outdoor plants potentially reaching 180-220 cm. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Special considerations include providing adequate support for branches during flowering due to dense bud development and maintaining proper humidity levels to prevent mold. The tropical sativa influence may require some training techniques to manage height and promote lateral growth.
