The origins of the Northern Lights family

Breeders named the cultivar after the aurora borealis because of the vibrant purple and green buds Northern Lights weed seeds produce. 

Word has it that it originated in Seattle by someone called “The Indian,” who grew 11 phenotypes named Northern Lights #1 to 11.

Nevil Schoenmakers, the “King of Cannabis” and founder of the Netherlands’ first seed bank, found the strain and brought it home. He classified it as a pure Afghani inbred indica and crossbred some other Northern Lights varieties with a Thai sativa.

The two landrace cultivars became known as the strain’s parents. The pure Afghani is responsible for the powerful relaxing sensations and therapeutic benefits users claim to experience when smoking buds from Northern Lights seeds.

The herb’s other parent hails from Thailand, sharing genetics from its native land. The Thai sativa has potent THC, offering smokers mild euphoric and calming effects.

Northern Lights has won several awards worldwide due to its excellent genetics. Breeders favor the strain because of that factor and have since used it to create many popular indica-dominant cultivars.
