Northern Lights has been in circulation since the 1980s and remains a benchmark indica. Potency is moderate by modern standards, which is arguably the point: it is predictable in a market where predictability is scarce.

It shows up as a parent in an enormous number of modern crosses. If a strain on a Vermont menu has a resinous, fast-finishing indica structure, there is a fair chance Northern Lights is somewhere in the family tree.

Good choice for someone who wants a body effect without the intensity of a modern high-THC indica.
