Description
Northern Lights Flower
A Dutch-perfected icon and one of the most famous indicas ever.
Northern Lights is one of the most famous indicas of all time. Bred from Afghani landraces in the Pacific Northwest and perfected in the Netherlands in the 1980s, it’s a parent of countless modern strains, including Super Silver Haze and Jack Herer.
The aroma is sweet and earthy with a fresh pine note. The smoke is smooth and sweet, with a light, spicy finish.
Like all of our flower, Northern Lights is grown indoors in organic soil and carefully dried and cured to protect its aroma and flavor. We use natural fertilizers and natural, hot-pepper-based pest control instead of chemical pesticides, so what you get is clean, carefully grown flower. Each package holds 4 grams of whole flower, a little more than a standard eighth.

CBG
A minor cannabinoid, sometimes called the parent of other cannabinoids.
CBN

Terpene Profile
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds behind a strain’s smell and flavor, the same ones found in fruit, herbs and spices. These are the terpenes that typically lead in Northern Lights.
Myrcene
Earthy, musky, herbal
The most common terpene in cannabis, also found in mangoes, hops and thyme.
Caryophyllene
Peppery, spicy
Also found in black pepper and cloves, it adds warmth and depth to the aroma.
Pinene
Fresh pine
Found in pine needles and rosemary, it brings a crisp, forest-like note.
The Experience
Indicas are known for a heavier, body-focused feel. They tend to settle you into your seat and slow things down, which is why many members save them for the end of the day.
Northern Lights leans into that calm, heavy side. It’s a laid-back pick for evenings in, whether that means a movie, good music or an early night.
Relaxed
Sleepy
Hungry
- Relaxed: a calm, unhurried, settled feeling in both body and mind.
- Sleepy: a heavier, drowsy feeling that tends to arrive later in a session or with larger amounts.
- Hungry: the classic case of the munchies, so keep a snack nearby.
Everyone responds differently, and the same strain can feel different depending on your mood, your setting and how much you use. Start with a small amount and see how it feels before having more.

Quality Plants
Every product we sell starts as a plant, so that’s where quality starts too. We focus on healthy genetics, careful cultivation and proper curing, from seed through the entire grow cycle. Great products start with great plants.
Pure Source
Flower, edibles or vapes, everything we make starts with clean, pure inputs. We choose our plants and ingredients for quality and consistency, because what goes in is what you taste. Purity at the source is what makes a great finished product.
Organic Where Possible
We keep our plants and raw materials organic wherever we can. Our flower is grown in soil with natural fertilizers and natural pest control, never chemical pesticides or herbicides. Organic keeps the good stuff in and the bad stuff out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your flower grown indoors or outdoors?
All of our flower is grown indoors, with some strains finished in light-deprivation grow tents. We grow in soil, sustainably and organically, using natural fertilizers and natural, capsaicin-based (hot pepper) pest control instead of chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. That careful process costs a little more, and you can taste the difference.
How much flower is in each package?
Each package of Northern Lights holds 4 grams of whole flower, a little more than a standard eighth. It ships as whole buds, so you can grind exactly what you need and keep the rest fresh.
How strong is it?
Northern Lights typically tests around 19% THC. For reference, most flower falls between 15% and 30%. If you’re new to cannabis or haven’t used it in a while, start with one or two small hits and wait 10 to 15 minutes before having more.
What is the difference between indica, sativa and hybrid?
Indicas tend toward a heavier, body-focused feel, sativas toward a brighter, more energetic, heady feel, and hybrids blend the two. Genetics, terpenes and your own body chemistry all play a part, so treat these labels as a helpful guide rather than a guarantee.
Why might my flower look different from the photos?
Our photos are for illustration. Every harvest is a little different in color, size and trim, so your buds may not look exactly like the pictures, but the quality and care that go into them are the same.
How should I store my flower?
Keep it in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place. Heat, light and air dry flower out and fade its aroma, so a good seal keeps it fresh and flavorful for weeks.
Please Use Responsibly

- Never drive or operate machinery after using cannabis, and plan your day before you start.
- Store all products securely, out of reach of children and pets.
- Avoid carrying cannabis outside your home, and know the laws where you live.
- Smoking or vaporizing any plant material can affect your lungs. Use in moderation.
