Southern Lights #7
Also known as: Southern Lights #7 Phenotype
Southern Lights #7 Strain Overview
Southern Lights #7 is a distinct phenotype of the classic Southern Lights strain, which itself is a cross between Northern Lights #5 and Skunk #1. This particular phenotype selection emphasizes the indica-dominant characteristics of its lineage while maintaining the balanced effects that made the original Southern Lights popular. The strain was developed through selective breeding to enhance specific traits, though the exact breeder responsible for isolating the #7 phenotype remains uncertain in available records.
Visually, Southern Lights #7 plants produce dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler temperatures. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are known for their compact structure and sticky texture when properly cured.
Notable features of Southern Lights #7 include its relatively consistent growth patterns and reliable effects profile. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it maintains a reputation among enthusiasts for its balanced effects and manageable cultivation requirements. The strain represents a specific expression of the Southern Lights genetic lineage that has been preserved by certain growers and seed banks.

Southern Lights #7 Strain Growing Information
Southern Lights #7 is considered a moderate difficulty strain for cultivation. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens potentially growing taller. This phenotype tends to be bushy with dense foliage, requiring some pruning for optimal light penetration and air circulation. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and has moderate resistance to common molds and pests.
