Ah at 80 days flower I figured it was about time I hack off some of my tastie Northern Lights buds

. I took most of the larger tops, and left the smaller popcorn on the plant to finish up a bit. This plant leaned very sativa in growth, and yeah flowering time too LOL.. Top buds are dense as can be though, and coated in trichomes. I took a tester bud 3 days ago, and dry smoke is exceptional right off the friggin bush. Very sweet/fruity, but I'm loosing some of that to th freshness.. I'll give a better smoke report on the cured product, but right now it's damn good already.
Here she is right before harvest of most of her tops. if you look I got big dense nuggets on top, and then smaller popcorn underneith.. I already learned from this plant, and cleared all that shit off on the clones I'm flowering now.. This way all the energy will go to the tops, instead of the smaller popcorn.. We'll see. I was not expecting this strain to turn out so sativa, but I came to find out from another fellow grower nirvana is off with their flowering time on the NL, and it is a 10-11 week strain in his experiance..

I was expecting much more indica from Northern Lights. I do have another breeders NL so we'll see Nl has went through lots of change through the years.
The plant was grown in a 50/50 soil/perilite mix, and was fed with a flood/drain type auto pot system. Good organic pure blend pro nutes

Trim up was easy, and it will be put to some use in my cousins next brownie batch.. i trimmed nice and tight just for him as those leaves were coated in crystal

Oh yeah these nugs are straight head stash. Plant yielded about an ounce and half (we'll see when dry) of sweet tasting potent nugget. I'm sure a cure will do wonders for this strain.
This is the tester bud I dried, and smoked

.. YUMMY. The high hit me like a truck. Nl is some powerful stuff. A good mix of head/body high with a taste that makes you want to smoke more
Hope you enjoyed the pics. Next one up is female seeds ICE. Ant it's a beauty at over 80 days flower
