Northern Lights (AAAA Indica) Strain Description
Northern Lights is one of the most iconic indicas of all time — a legendary strain that continues to set the standard for relaxation, potency, and classic flavour. This AAAA-grade flower is famous for its dense, resin-coated buds and its ability to deliver a heavy, full-body calm that melts away stress and tension. With THC levels ranging between 28–32%, Northern Lights is a powerhouse indica perfect for evening use, deep rest, and pain relief.
Lineage & Genetics
Northern Lights is believed to be a cross of Afghani landrace indica × Thai sativa, a legendary pairing that created one of the most enduring cannabis strains in history. Its genetics give it the unmistakable earthy-spice aroma and deeply sedative effects that have made it a global favourite.

Heavy, Gassy
I opened the bag and got hit with that sweet gas smell, exactly what I want in a nighttime strain.

Slept like a rock
I’ve had sleep issues for years, but after trying this strain, I was out in under 20 minutes. The body high is incredible and the mental calm is next level. It’s honestly one of the best I’ve tried. – Raquel Menon., Kingston, Ontario

Absolutely gas
Absolutely gas. The buds were sticky, frosty, and the high hit me heavy. Smoked before bed and didn’t wake up once. 10/10 strain.

Great sedation
This stuff should come with a warning label. The high is strong, the taste is earthy and pungent and the effects are borderline narcotic. Love it. — Jeremy V, Hamilton, ON
