Also known as: Northern Berry
Northernberry Strain Overview
Northernberry is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two legendary parent strains: Northern Lights and Blueberry. This combination brings together the best traits of both lineages, creating a plant that is both potent and flavorful. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the robust growth characteristics and relaxing effects of Northern Lights with the distinctive berry flavors and balanced effects of Blueberry. Northernberry has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its well-rounded effects and reliable performance.
Visually, Northernberry plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a mix of deep green and purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma is one of its most distinctive features, combining sweet berry notes from its Blueberry heritage with earthy, piney undertones inherited from Northern Lights. When properly cured, the buds release a complex scent profile that includes hints of citrus and spice.
Northernberry is known for its balanced effects that begin with a cerebral uplift before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Northernberry has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its combination of classic genetics and modern hybrid characteristics. The strain represents a successful fusion of two iconic cannabis varieties that have each made significant contributions to cannabis breeding history.

Northernberry Strain Growing Information
Northernberry 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 outdoor harvest in late September to early October. 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 in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean climates when grown outside. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-180 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Northernberry benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are average, though the strain responds well to bloom boosters during flowering. Growers should monitor pH levels carefully as Northernberry can be sensitive to nutrient lockout.
