Northern Lights x Skunk

Northern Lights x Skunk is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created by crossing Northern Lights and Skunk. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 14-20% on average, with 1% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Northern Lights x Skunk high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. These combined effects make Northern Lights x Skunk a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect skunk up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a skunk finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

In the garden, Northern Lights x Skunk is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Lights family — see Big Lights of North Automatic and Bizarre Lights for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
