Development

Northern Lights is renowned for its ability to be grown very easily. The strain's reputation also comes from the fact that it has won competitions such as the Cannabis Cup. The #5 strain was first entered into competition 1989 when several seeds were mailed from the U.S.A. to Amsterdam. The strain quickly dominated the Cannabis Cup, winning in 1989, 1998, and again in 2009. It is a cross of Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa.

Impact

Northern Lights has received much attention in the scientific community, as it is often the subject of experiments testing the viability of medicinal marijuana.[2] The hybridization of cannabis is also notable in the botany community as Northern Lights in particular has been studied for its female and male genetic characteristics.[3][4] Users have reported feelings of euphoria and relaxation when under the influence of Northern Lights.
