Northern Lights Auto is a compact, low-maintenance strain that combines old-school indica power with modern autoflowering convenience. This modern classic is incredibly beginner-friendly and thrives in almost any setting, whether it's an indoor tent, balcony, or tucked away on a sunny patio. With THC levels ranging from 14–19%, it offers a mellow but satisfying high that brings on waves of joy, relaxation, and creativity.

Growing Information
This strain flourishes with very little maintenance, making it an excellent choice for first-time growers or those with limited space. Her autoflowering nature ensures she'll begin blooming on her own, requiring no adjustment to light schedules. She's compact and bushy, with a uniform structure that responds well to Sea of Green setups.
Expect sturdy plants that finish quickly — usually within 10 to 12 weeks from seed. Outdoors, she’s a fantastic option for multiple harvests throughout the year, especially in cooler climates. Indoors, yields can reach up to 400 g/m² of dense, frosty buds.

Strain Flavour and Aromas
Northern Lights Auto retains the rich, earthy essence of its legendary parent strain. The aroma is spicy and herbal, underpinned by a classic sweet muskiness and a hint of pine. The taste mirrors the scent, delivering a smooth, woody flavour with subtle notes of pepper and sweetness on the exhale — perfect for evening relaxation or social indulgence.

Strain Lineage
Northern Lights Auto was bred by crossing the legendary Northern Lights — known for its old-school potency, short stature, and resilience — with Nirvana’s own Short Rider autoflowering male. The result is a robust indica hybrid that inherits the best of both worlds: legendary genetics and autoflowering ease.
