Northern Lights question:
Some time ago, I was given 4 Northern Lights seeds. Unfortunately, only one grew and it turned out to be male. I'm planning to cross it with my current mystery-strain that I've been growing.
The odd thing is that I've just been traveling about the interweb and discovered that N.L. is supposed to be an Indica dominant strain - which, judging from the leaves, the plant in my bloom chamber very much is not. In fact, this thing is a poster child for what a Sativa should look like.
I actually found a couple of seed sites that specifically describe Northern Lights as having very broad leaves. Now, I'm not complaining because it is specifically for the clearly Sativa genetics that I'm bothering with this cross, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular strain that might be able to shed some light on the issue.IAmKowalski Reviewed by IAmKowalski on .

Northern Lights question:
I never heard of a NL sativa pheno, but i sure am no pro. Maybe within all the different numbers of NL, there exists a sativa pheno.
More likely whomever you got the seeds from was mistaken.
Good luck, cross it and grow it and smoke it. Ahh experiments!

Northern Lights question:
Northern Lights has gone through several releases from #1 to #5 and they do exhibit variations in the leaf set. Try searching for the different versions to get more info, sorry I can't remember which is the most Sativa-looking.

Northern Lights question:
Thanks Stinky,
I've been bouncing about the web and reading what I can find on it - at this point I rather doubt if this actually was N.L. - and if it was then I can't really be sure what it was pollinated by. I know it was grown in a greenhouse in Indiana by a friend of a friend. The person that passed them on to me said she had saved them for several years because it was just some phenomenally good bud.
Since the only one that grew was a male, I can rule out hermie/self pollination.
It took 35 days under 12/12 to produce pollen - so I'm thinking that I'm dealing with very Sativa genes with a LOOOOONNNNGG bloom time. This doesn't seem consistent with what I've read on N.L. so either this is just a random Sativa or perhaps a random Sativa male crossed with a N.L female????
Oh well, whatever it may be - I've now got pollen to play with and I just moved two small girls into my bloom chamber that I intend to cross it with - one is a nice mystery strain that I've been cloning from an original bagseed mother, and the other is an Afghoo clone with a very short - 54 day - bloom time.-------------------------------------------------
