Description:
"Yes it's The Brothers Grimm version of Northern Lights! Truly outstanding individuals were selected to breed
our own UNIQUE true-breeding version of the classic NL#5." - Brothers Grimm seed catalog
Specifications:
~ Flowering: 55-60 days ~ Height: 100 - 120 cm ~ Yield: 300 gm/m2
Growers Comments:
“This is my first crop with a 1K light. All 8 plants were grown in 2.5 gal containers, organic super soil. Seven
Aurora B females from a ten seed pack. Vegged for 50 days and all finished flowering within 50 days. The
Aurora B came on strong in the last two weeks. I didn't really expect what I ended up with, but they really
bulked up well during the last two weeks of flowering. I topped the three tallest ones and they produced slightly
more than the untopped, but the ones that I didn't top turned out to have some really nice colas. One ended
up being around 18 inches long and 3 inches in diameter, plus a cluster of smaller flowers around the base of
the main shoot. Their scents ranged from pungent,(the big cola) to the lemon scent that I've heard some of
these plants produced, and all of them were very frosty. The smaller plants were the ones that tended to smell
like lemons. Overall, I ended up with just over 13.5 oz's, including 11 oz's of Aurora B, from 8 plants. A happy
camper. The AB kind of creeps on ya. It starts out as a light feeling in your forehead right after lighting up, and
a couple minutes later you're feeling pretty damn good. After about an hour or so, my ass had grown roots to
the couch and I found myself in a daze, trying to watch Rocketman on the Disney channel. heh heh. I'm no big
time grower, and this is the first time I've grown a strain of NL, but I'd rate the AB an 8 out of 10. It's a more
complex buzz than Sensi's Hindu Kush and a much better producer. – Pauly
"AB potency doesn't get much better, if you're looking for an indica that is. It's a severe stone, makes me eat
till I fall asleep after a few bowls.
It's my favorite, but it's making me fat!" - madam in Adam

Growers Comments:
"We have been working from a m39 mother plant that is from 1987. This is absolutely the most powerful strain
I have ever come across. I have purchased & grown many of the newer bragged on strains and still am looking
for something that will even come close to this strain. I'm not saying that this variety is the most potent, just
that in my over 15 yr. search this is what I've found to be the strongest so far."-Clone
"M39 by SSSC was "Basic#5"/Sk#1, but I BELIEVE "Basic#5" was actually NL#5, but SSSC weren't allowed to say
so. You're actually looking for NL#5/Sk#1 which is available from Sensi Seed Bank, they call it "ShivaSkunk".

Description:
Medical: Multiple Sclerosis “A pure Indica, won the Cannabis Cup in ‘88, ‘89, ‘90. Much used for cross breeding
for it’s strong and big buds. Famous throughout the world, everyone has heard of N.L. Sweet taste and very
potent stone.

Growers Comments:
Northern Lights
“pure Indica 88/89/90
An absolute must for the indoor grower! For the last couple of years the Northern Lights® has dominated the
various Harvest Festivals. Through selective breeding we have succeeded in producing one of the most powerful
plants in the world. On top of that, we have developed a strain highly adapted for indoor growing: compact,
powerful with a good yield and exceptional resin production. The most lucrative plant for the indoor grower.
Flowering: 45-50 days.
Height: 100-125 cm.
Yield: up to 125 gr.” – Sensi Seed Bank catalog
"IMHO a Northern Lights would be best, easiest, and have the best high. This variety has been around for
years; it has great name recognition. It is disease free, and easy to grow. The yield is above average though
not perhaps quite as great as some of the Big Bud hybrids. It can be grown using any method including SOG,
SCROG. or bushy. An all around great strain." -Kohala
“Bank: Positronics
Supplier: Jock
Started with 10 seeds all germinated. One sprout was lagging far behind the others and it was put out of its
misery. Ended up with 1 female, 5 males, and 3 herms.
Again, like the rest of the Positronic stock grown out so far, these plants were close to identical in appearance.
They looked very much like the NL x Shiva that also came from Posi. To bad it didn’t take after the NL x Shiva
in all respects.
The one female was not very impressive grown from seed and turned herm. The buzz was acceptable but it
grew like chit. Very airy bud with little resin and a lot of leaf. The buzz made it worth keeping for a harvest from
clone one time to see if it could redeem itself. Because the buzz got better it was given one more chance even
though it still showed male flowers, not a lot but too many. The second time grown from clone it showed male
flowers again and didn’t improve much in quality or growth. So now it’s dead.
To be fair it could be that this plant just couldn’t handle being flowered so early and freaked, doubtful but
possible." - flick
Strain: Northern Lights #1
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: California Breeder: Dutch Passion Seedbank
Images:
Description:
“Developed in Seattle, perfected in Holland, Northern Lights has become the “State of the Art” indoor plant. A
must!
Specifications:
~ Flower: 45-50 days ~ Height: 100-125 cm ~Yield: 300-325 gr/sqM” – Dutch Passion seedbank catalog
Growers Comments:
“Northern Lights #1 = Described as a true breeding strain (Stable) of Afghani origins.
Northern Lights #135A = Available commercially for just a short while (87-88) from the original Seed Bank.
Described as "a fast finishing hybrid of Northern lights and an Afghani". This sounds a lot like the forerunner of
Slyder/Chronic.”
Strain: Northern Lights #2 a.k.a Oasis
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: California/Holland Breeder: Dutch Passion Seedbank
Images: 1 2
Description:
“One of the most popular varieties, Oasis is our Northern Lights #2 selection. A very strong plant, almost spider
mite resistant. Good yield, excellent taste and excellent high.
Specifications:
~ Flower: 8-9 weeks ~ Harvest: 1st week of Nov.” – Dutch Passion Seeds catalog
Growers Comments:
“Northern lights #2 = originally a Hindu Kush X Thai cross. It was selectively inbred and developed into a stable
almost all Kush type cross that is mostly indica.”
“I haven't done #5, but # 2 (Oasis) was great. Most people say that the NL strains have little or no taste or
smell, but my experience with #2 was that it had an oniony, garlicky smell and taste. The buzz was it.
Couch-lock, but surprisingly psychoactive, given indica's reputation. I don't think you can go wrong with a strain
that highly touted.” - Skunkman
Strain: Northern Lights #5
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: Holland Breeder: Sensi Seed Bank

Description:
Medical: multiple sclerosis “This state of the art Indica is the result of over 20 years of select inbreeding. Bred
for vigorous growth, high yield, and superb high. A must for growers who prefer short bushy plants. The buds
have an extremely frosted, resinous appearance and the yield is high.
Specifications:
~ Flower: 55-65 days ~ Height: 2-3’” – Sensi Seed Bank catalog
Growers Comments:
"NL#5 is NL with another plant crossbred. Part indica, part sativa. Grows great outdoors, flowers quickly and has
a pretty good yield. I know a few that have grown it. Call it the "Christmas tree" bud, the plant looks like one..
Thumbs up to it, it is a great strain." -V
"I got NL#5 never had any problems with cloning, also if its real NL#5 (which is Pure NL) it has almost no smell
at all which is great if ya grow indoors. The ones I've seen really fill out at the end of the flowering cycle, it
sometimes looks like the yield will be marginal and then in the last couple of weeks--bam! I have found this
with most indica strains, usually they do not fill out till the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. NL is a great indoor
strain, one of my fav's too." -Unknown
“I grew Sensi Seeds NL#5 and it was one of the best plants I had ever seen. VERY distinctive aroma and taste,
I agree with Skunkman, its like a psychedelic couchlock, the buzz goes for loooong. Plus its one of the best
indoor plants I ever saw, very short and compact, mega-phat top-cola, pretty fast (8 weeks), wont grow much
longer after inducing bloom, excellent flower/leaf ratio. I had good 400 gr./s.m. which I consider nice. Only
drawback I noticed was you better watch the air humidity, they have a tendency to catch bud rot, and the colas
are just too fat and sticky so the air won’t go into. But when you keep moisture down to max. 50% rh. you
should do well. To my experience they are true-breeding, but on the other hand I heard that too much
inbreeding out of a small number of species might cause some problems and show up some indica aspects
you may not want to have. I heard of NL#5 F2 that smelled and tasted like shit and had a very dull buzz.” -

Strain: Northern Lights #9
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: Holland Breeder: Sagarmatha Seeds
Images:
Description:
“After years of heartfelt requests for a Northern Lights strain, Sagarmatha has engineered a superior version of
the NL legend. NL#9 delivers the finest qualities expected from that variety: a short plant with a voracious
stone and minimal smell. The flowering time is acceptable and fat chunky nugs can be expected. Fantastic for
gardens where smell is an unfavorable factor. Also fine for persons who desire a heavy, lethargic stone.
Specifications:
Specifications:
~ Type: Indica-Sativa, indoor. Start vegetate: 1 - 2 weeks. Flower for: 50 - 55 days. Height: 0.5 -
0.75 meters. Yield: 300 - 325 g/m2 (dried, indoor).” – Sagarmatha seedbank catalog
Growers Comments:
"My 3 NL#9 girls were harvested last week, dried and are curing now. Plant #1 flowered for 52 days, 2 and 3, 56
days. I have to say that this is some of the best smoke of all time for me! Looks white in the bag slow clean
burn, great taste, kick-ass high. I yielded about 5oz. off 3 plants. NL#9 is a Sag product. Info I've gotten says
its NLxWhite WidowxJack Herer. Pretty intense stone."-KGB
"I chatted with Rosa from Sag some months ago, she said it was WW, NL#5 and Durban.... I’ve grown it too
and it is quite nice...2 thumbs up from all that have tried it...its an up high for sure and lasts a solid 2 hours
...but man does this shit stink when its in the baggie.... 2 layers of plastic can’t contain its hashy smell...I saw
a friend of mine smoke 2 joints and was he fucked...he turned down the third j and he is a REAL hardcore....
The next day he looked all hungover.... I’ve never seen him that high on grass in 18 years...this is some good
shit"-Naughty
“Try NL#9 from Sagarmatha. This strain is NL#5, WW and Durban Poison. I've heard great reports about this
plant.” - SK1
“I have been growing Northern Lights #9 from Sagarmatha for about 8 months and the yield is pretty good. My
yield in hydro is a little over 2 oz's dry per 3 1/2 ft plant. The buds are HUGE, very fluffy, and very visible
crystals. When growing the smell is very minimal but once the buds dry after harvest the smell is so strong that
an 1/8th will stink up your whole house even in Tupperware. Another great thing is that if you are using CO2
the plant is ready to harvest in 45 days, 50 days tops. I also had a few problems with my nutrient mixture and
since I have corrected it I am expecting to get 2 1/2 or better my next harvest. One of buddy's growing the
strain organically yields a little under 2 oz's using a 400 watt hps.” -KB
Strain: Northern Lights X Shiva
Strain Type: Mostly Indica Origin: Holland Breeder: Amsterdam Aloha
Images:
Description:
“Strong sweet weed, much THC, with big buds and few leaves. Improvement on, and has a stronger taste than
pure Northern Light. This is the # 1 in it’s kind. Best for inside cultivation.”
Specifications:
none
Growers Comments:
“The one I know is the NL X Shiva cross from Aloha which I like and have grown continuously for years. It is
very potent, wonderfully aromatic and complex. It is also pretty easy to grow and finishes fast despite the fact
that it yields well! An all-around winner, IMO.”- Moose
