Purest Indica x Northern Lights #5
Also known as: Hawaiian Lights, PI x NL#5
Purest Indica x Northern Lights #5 Strain Overview
Purest Indica x Northern Lights #5 is a mostly indica cross from Authentic Genetics that brings together two foundational genetics of the modern cannabis world. This is essentially a backcross because Purest Indica is one of the parent plants of NL#5, creating what some call a full-circle breeding project. The Purest Indica parent is an Afghan variety that Steve Murphy originally referred to as 'Purest Indica' and that became the initial seeds that would go on to become the parents of the Northern Lights variety.
The strain represents a return to heritage genetics, bringing together the compact, resin-heavy structure of the Afghan Purest Indica with the refined characteristics of Northern Lights #5. Users report falling in love with the scent, taste and high of the Purest Indica, noting it reminds them of the 80's with its dank resin covered nugs and broadleaves. It is a fast flowering 8 to 9 weeks max and grows slowly in veg. This hybrid shows dense, resin-heavy flowers, broadleaf structure, and a deep, musky-sweet aromatic profile. This line functions as a backcross, strengthening Purest Indica traits while drawing on the refined structure of NL#5.
