Description
Northern Light Autoflower comes from crossing Northern Lights with Short Rider, giving her an indica-dominant profile with reported THC in the 14%–19% range. From seed to harvest takes about 10 to 12 weeks (77–84 days).
Break open a bud and earthy, piney notes come through first, backed by a sweet, spicy, peppery edge. Buds grow in a short, bushy structure suited to compact spaces.
Indoors, she stays low and bushy, typically finishing in the 2.5–3.3 ft range. Yield potential runs average, in the 300–400 g/m² range indoors. Given her easy grow rating, low maintenance needs, and compact size, Northern Light Autoflower suits beginner growers wanting a discreet, low-profile plant for balconies, terraces, or Sea of Green setups.
Grow info
Northern Light Autoflower is rated easy to grow and needs little maintenance once established.
Indoor growing
Indoors, a Sea of Green setup with smaller pots works well, keeping plants low and bushy with a uniform, low-maintenance profile. Keeping her under 12 to 18 hours of HID light is recommended. Flowering takes about 10 to 11 weeks, with total seed-to-harvest time around 77 to 84 days; timing can vary somewhat with lighting and nutrients. Indoor yield can reach up to about 1.3 oz per square foot.
Outdoor growing
Outdoors, she can be planted from March to September, allowing for multiple harvests per year; growers with shorter summers will get the best results planting from mid-May to August. Seed-to-harvest time runs about 77 to 84 days. Her low profile and bushy structure make her easy to keep discreet, and she's well suited to challenging climates and shorter growing seasons. Outdoor yield can reach up to about 3 oz per plant.

Training isn't recommended for this strain. Growing in larger containers, in the range of about 4 gallons, or filling a greenhouse with many smaller pots, is recommended for the best yields.
