Northern Lights NL5 Genetics

With great pleasure and historical significance, welcome the Northern Lights NL5 clone. Bred from the landrace cocktail of Afhani and Thai. Northern Lights NL5 is classic California cannabis heirloom. Selected by the not-so-famous and truly gifted lunatic Tom of Grams.2.Pounds, the Northern Lights NL5 clone was phenotype hunted from the legendary seed stock of Todd Mccormick. Dating the lineage of the seed stock, Mccormick has been described as the “pot dealer for the Playboy Mansion.” The Northern Lights NL5 cut harnesses the nostalgic 80s era of glossy tangible natural beauty. Like a photograph of beautiful woman, NL5 captures a snapshot of the past. Impossible to recreate, yet pure in it’s essence by today’s standards. The NL5 clone is a modern throwback. Accurate and smooth with a cool drag, the Northern Lights is crisp, clean, and refreshes the palate. The bright uplifting high twitterpates. Intoxicating, the Northern Lights stimulates the senses and releases inhibitions. When the setting is right, the world is your grotto. The Northern Light NL5 breaks the ice quite nice. 

Northern Lights NL5 Cannabinoids

The hugely productive buds of NL5 are β-myrcene dominant, and tested at 28% THC in the primary release of the flower by Moca Humboldt. Tom and Moca act as key innovators in the acquisition and phenotype discovery of the Northern Lights NL5 clone. Preservation work and phenotype discovery is a costly endeavor. Illuminated by gas chromatography, the dominant terpenes are focused four powerful pillars: β-myrcene, α-pinene, δ-limonene & β-pinene in descending order. The simplicity of the combination and significant content of α-pinene and β-pinene are common in heirloom cannabis strains from the era, an example being Santa Cruz Blue Dream. Coincidentally Santa Cruz Blue Dream and Northern Lights both have Aghani in their lineage.  All though the breeder is unknown, Skunkman Sam told HENDRX in 2024 that the Northern Lights strain was bred by a neighbor in Santa Cruz in the late 70s.
