Northern Lights #5

Description

**Northern Lights #5** is a legendary pure indica strain and one of the most famous cannabis varieties in history. Originating from the Pacific Northwest of the United States in the 1970s, it was stabilized and popularized by Neville Schoenmakers in the Netherlands through his Seed Bank. It is a cornerstone genetic for countless modern hybrids. This phenotype (#5) is celebrated for its **potent, full-body sedative effect** that is profoundly relaxing and euphoric. It's a quintessential 'couch-lock' strain, ideal for evening use. The high THC content (typically 16-21%) delivers a powerful punch that melts away stress, pain, and insomnia. **Cultivation** is straightforward, making it excellent for beginners. Plants remain short and bushy with dense, resin-coated buds. They are resilient to common molds and pests. The flowering period is relatively short, and the aroma, while pungent during growth, is manageable.
