Northern lights has a reputation for being an easy to grow, tough plant, and after many trials and tribulations, my first attempt at indoor growing ended with a fine bushy plant and around two and a half ounces of top quality smoke.
I would really recommend this strain for those just finding their way in the minefield of growing, during the course of my grow the plant had to suffer various indignities as I tweaked my growroom to get temperatures, light distance, watering, and fertilising under control. But Nirvana Northern Lights just adapted to the changing conditions where many a more finicky modern strain would have given up the ghost.
Conditions for this plant was a 250W metal halide lamp in an outdoor garden shed with all the wildly fluctuating temperatures that this type of growing involves. Moving into the attic, again under the 250W for flowering. Soil was Bio-Bizz, Vegging ferts (hardly used) was Bio-Gro from Bio-Bizz. And flowering ferts were Bio-Bloom.
Yield turned out to be about two and a half to three ounces and the smoke is of the highest calibre, couched for about an hour then up and talking again-great smoke overall. Would strongly advise any grower to try this out, it is far to good a strain to allow to fade into history.
