Opposites collide in perfect hybrid fusion! Northern Lights#5 x Haze
balances the finest features of soaring tropical Sativa and voluptuous,
earth-shaking Indica. Universally regarded as a high-point in cannabis
breeding, many weed scholars consider her unsurpassed, even today.
Of
all the hugely popular ganja varieties launched in the second wave of
hybrid development - including Silver Haze, Shiva Skunk and Silver
Pearl - the most successful has always been NL#5xHaze. Her tendency to
make a permanent impression on smokers and growers owes a great deal to
the fact that her Sativa genes are fully and joyfully expressed,
instead of being dominated by the power of her Afghani parent.
Upon
release, this enormously potent and productive seed-strain swept the
cannabis awards and sparked something of a ‘grass-roots’ revolution in
breeding. NL#5xHaze reminded the cannabis community that Sativa magic
was rapidly being bred out of commercial strains in the quest for the
shortest, fastest plants. Indica genes were becoming the dominant
influence in almost every crop and the true Haze rocket-ride was in
danger of becoming a memory. NL#5xHaze helped to turn the tide by
demonstrating that growers could have it all – mind-blowing Sativa
effect and weighty Indica production – for just a few extra weeks in
flowering.
Expect significant height gain from NL#5xHaze. Indoor
plants can be flowered with little or no vegetation period, which
compensates for their extra time in blooming. Rooted clones and even
seedlings can be flowered immediately and may go on to exceed 1m by
harvest time. Gaps between internodes are quickly filled by long,
running colas. At the mid-point of blooming main stem and branches are
completely obscured by sticky, profusely hairy buds which then swell in
every direction until the end of flowering. It’s quite common for
NL#5xHaze to produce terminal buds longer and thicker than a grower’s
arm, even at indoor heights.
From seed, Northern Lights#5 x
Haze produces huge, bountiful, uniform plants and is very easy to
clone, producing crop after crop of strong cuttings. Her distinctly
psychedelic Haze power is complemented by the yield and crystal of
NL#5. Growers who treasure their Northern Lights#5 x Haze mother plants
have been known to produce killer harvests for a decade or more with no
loss of quality.
