Sensi Seeds’ Northern Lights Automatic cannabis seeds are 90% indica. It’s one of the world’s most well-known strains, and not without reason. Northern Lights originated from the US, and has Thai and Afghani landrace parentage. It was taken to The Netherlands, and developed by Sensi Seeds into the swift-flowering plant that it is today.

Northern Lights Auto is a compact strain. On average, plants grow to 30 to 51 inches, though they will grow larger when cultivated outside. It’s a suitable option for those that only have limited space.
Like most indica-dominant varieties, Northern Lights Auto is bushy and squat in appearance, with lots of bushy branches. The buds are dense and coated in sparkling resin, and offer good amounts of flowers for an auto strain.
Northern Lights Automatic can be cultivated in cooler climates, though it performs better in warmer conditions, where it’s possible to get two or three grows each year. Some claim that planting in May or June is best, with a view to finishing in August or September. For the best results, it’s usually recommended to cultivate the plants indoors.
Northern Lights Automatic plants are also typically indica when it comes to aroma. The scent is rich and earthy, with a hint of herb and fruit. This smell grows in strength as the buds reach the end, and after curing, you can expect the intensity of the scent to reach its peak. In terms of taste, Northern Lights Automatic is pungent, heady, and offers a hint of citrus and herb.
