I grew some years ago that was really awsome. The taste was kinda earthy, and the buzz was hard hitting, very potent. Ive also had some nl that was sweet tasting, but not as potent.
My question is which breeder and seed company will ship to us has the most potent, best yielding pure northern lights?

Thanks

I have only tried Sensi's and Nirvana's. Sensi's is EXCELLENT smoke! Very nice all around plant. Great yield, easy to grow, easy to clone, very frosty, very stony, not much special flavor, but still nice and smooth. The Nirvana "NL Pure Indica" was garbage, it's the only Nirvana strain I have or ever will try. Not saying all their strains suck, but if they can't tell Sativa from "Pure Indica" I don't want anything to do with them. That said I'd go for Sensi's, it's actually NL.

Ive only tried the FemaleSeeds one so I cant compare it to any others, but that was quite nice - very indica, very frosty, very potent, fairly low odour, smooth taste, and looked exactly like NL is supposed to look. I emailed them to ask what their 'version' of NL is based on (#2 or #5 etc), here's their reply:

Our Northern Light is based on the Old School Northern Lights - US genetics.
The Northern Light #2 etc are derived from Dutch genetics.
Ours have been improved and modified over the past 15 years since the Old School version, which we acquired through import from the US all those years ago.
I hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do!

i have grown two that i know exactly where the genetics came from-let me rephrase, i know where i got them. British columbia seed co.<mine were from emory, now avail. thru Kind seed co. i think> and dr atomic northern lights<mine from hemp depot, also avail. thru Legend seed co.>
overall i found the bcsc nl#5 to be one of the better tasting and potent nl strains ive tried-have heard they started with stock from sensi, and bred from there, but i dont know for sure. dr atomics were not as tasty, but a little stronger. as far as yield, i did better with atomic, but i also had better setup, better light, and better nutes. both were worthy strains and 50 bucks! good luck! heres atomic nl-pre final manicure

I grew out Nirvana NL, and yes it's not as Indica as I expected it to be, and does undergo a descent pre flower stretch. Anyway here are some pics.. Even though it does run a bit longer then expected at 9-10 weeks, and may not be the best version of NL out there I happened to at least get lucky with it being potent, and pretty nice tsting

WOW! Thanks for all the fast responses, so far I'm leaning toward the Dr atomic or Sensi.
The first plant i ever grew was NL. Got it from little tourist shop in dam square for my cousin, he couldn't grow the beans, do he gave them to me. I planted 10 nl seeds got one female and she didnt yield that great but the smoke was the best ive had. My guess it that that guy at the tourist shop bought these old seeds from some breeder in adam at a discount which is why i got 20% germ rate. Sure would like THAT version of NL.

Subrob and Postman: Thanks for the very nice pics. You guys got my juices flowing!

I forgot to mention the first one that I grew, the one that was so friggin potent, I remember it having really thick pistils. Anyway I'm looking for that high again.
