Northern Lights Seeds

Most Popular Northern Lights-Based Crosses

Some strains hit like a memory — Northern Lights is one of those. Old-school, piney, sticky, and heavy in the way a warm blanket is heavy. It’s not just a strain, it’s a damn cornerstone. And when breeders started crossing it? Magic. Or chaos. Or both.

First off—NL #5 x Haze. That one’s a monster. You take Northern Lights' couch-lock body and slam it into Haze’s electric head trip. What you get is this weird, soaring-yet-sinking high. Like floating in a lead balloon. People either love it or swear off it forever. I’m in the former camp. It’s jittery and dreamy at the same time. Makes you wanna write poetry and then forget how pens work.

Then there’s Shiva Skunk. NL crossed with Skunk #1. Smells like a dead raccoon in a pine forest. In a good way. It’s got that thick, narcotic buzz that makes your face melt a little. Not a social strain—unless your idea of socializing is grunting at cartoons. But damn, it’s reliable. Like your stoner uncle who always shows up with snacks and conspiracy theories.

NL x Blueberry? That’s a whole different vibe. Fruity, sweet, and mellow. Like smoking a blueberry pie while wrapped in flannel. It doesn’t hit as hard as the others, but it’s smooth. Easy. A Sunday morning strain. Makes music sound warmer. Makes you forget what you were anxious about. Or what day it is.

And then there’s Super Silver Haze. Technically a three-way—NL, Skunk, and Haze. But Northern Lights is the backbone. Keeps it grounded. Without it, SSH would just be a jittery mess. With it? It’s like lightning in molasses. Fast and slow. Sharp and gooey. One of those strains that makes you feel like you’re inside a lava lamp.

People forget how many hybrids owe their soul to Northern Lights. It’s like the bassline in a good song—you don’t always notice it, but take it out and everything falls apart. Even modern strains like Jack Herer or Critical Mass carry echoes of it. That earthy, hashy, almost menthol thing. That deep, body-hugging calm.

Honestly, I think breeders keep going back to it because it just works. It’s stable. Predictable. But not boring. Like—there’s a reason it’s still around after all these years. You can dress it up, cross it with whatever wild sativa you want, but at its core, it’s still Northern Lights. Still that same heavy, glowing, stoned-to-the-bone feeling that made people fall in love with weed in the first place.

Some strains are trends. Northern Lights is a foundation. A blueprint. A damn lullaby in plant form.
