Please give me some advice, suggestions, comments on this NL lady. I have always grown indica dom strains my favorite being a cheese strain I aquired that finishes in 8 weeks from the switch of 12/12!

Looks like inadequate lighting. Probably a dud seed. What the genetics?
NL = Northern Lights

My friend bought the seeds from a terrible breeder in the UK somewhere. I can't remember the name but obviously they are the worst genetics I have ever seen!! I have had better plants with a bag seed out of some terrible bud. Do you guys think I will at least get some bud off this lady or what? I have serious time and money invested in the NL and three super silver haze plants thats a whole other story.

I need to finish everything before March 1st when I have a house inspection.
Yes, it must be an extreme sativa pheno or the seed is mislabeled- which I've seen more times than I can count.
Funny though, when I first started growing out Northern Lights in the mid to late 1980's, it was an extreme indica- short, squat, BIG leaves, low to medium yielder, done early, easy to clone, hardy and likes nutes- I could go on. Now I see (not everyone's but a lot of them) N.L.'s that are more sativa leaning and wondered what the hell happened. Now I know the original has some Thai in it- but only the buzz trait- not the growth pattern traits. I see today more N.L. that look like a sativa than an indica. It's just not the same anymore and that sucks......

If I knew my friend was buying sativas to begin with I would have stopped him.. I will NEVER grow another sativa dom. strain in my life!
Reminds me years ago when I bought Dr. Atomic's N.L. and it was mislabeled. It turned out to be N.L. X Haze and were like yours. Reeferman ordered the same beans and experienced the same issue and called Dr. Atomic on it, and he admitted he screwed it up. I just killed off all the plants cause I can't have 8-9 ft. lanky monsters in my grow . Dr. Atomic stated he'd make it up to me and then claimed he could never find my original order and therefore never sent replacements. Needless to say, I never bought another thing from him........
