A petite plant averaging between 4 and 5 feet, NL has dense, resin-rich flowers and wide-fingered indica leaves. The aroma is pungently sweet and the taste is a flavorful mixture of sweet and spicy. Northern Lights’ fame extends to the harvest festivals where it claimed the overall High Times Cannabis Cup win in 1990, and the Cup’s award for the pure Indica category in 1988-89.
Blue Dream Hybrid Strain
Hybrid Strain
Blue Dream is a hybrid strain of cannabis. It is a cross between Blueberry and Haze strains and was bred to combine the body high of an indica and the cerebral effects of a sativa.
Purple Haze
Indica Strain
Purple Haze is a strain of cannabis developed by various Dutch seed breeders known for its purple color, abundance of white trichomes and high potency. It is widely regarded as an extinct strain. The vast majority of seed breeders regard purple haze as a myth due to the fact that any cannabis strain can develop
Sour Diesel
Sativa Strain
Sour Diesel, also known as Sour D, is a sativa strain of cannabis named for its strong pungent diesel-like smell. Its true origins are a bit of a mystery but most believe that Sour Diesel is a child of Chemdawg 91, Northern Lights and an unkown super skunk. Sour Diesel creates a quick acting, energized and dreamy high that has excellent cerebral effects. It is best known for its sour scent as well as its uplifting, mood enhancing effects. Patients report that Sour Diesel makes them feel: creative, energetic, euphoric, happy and uplifted. It is also reported to help with stress, pain and drepression.
