Northern Lights Fast Version

Northern Lights Fast Fem is obviously an Indica through and through. It grows rapidly but remains a manageable height throughout its life. Sporting thick and strong branches, it has the appearance of a luxuriant bush. The broad minty green leaves are sprinkled with russet pistils. The nuggets are shaped like pine cones and covered with frosty, ultra-fine trichomes.

Being a fast-flowering version of the regular NL strain, the blooming has been shortened to a 6 to 7-week period. This is briefer by a couple of weeks, making it a suitable plant to cultivate in areas where winter comes early. Nevertheless, it prefers the sunny climates of California, Spain, or North Africa, as intense sunlight can double the yield. 

This means that in a grow room or tent, the optimal way to boost production is to use powerful lights. 600-watt high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps are recommended, which is why intermediate growers who already have the appropriate equipment are in the best position to grow this strain. But even for beginners, the high resistance to diseases and pests make it a good option if they are willing to invest in a more-than-basic setup.

Because it is a relatively short and compact plant, extensive training is not necessary. Simply implement the Sea of Green (SOG) method to maximize the yield. Whether the growing medium is soil or hydroponics, packing several bushes together makes the most efficient use of space. This could raise the temperature and relative humidity considerably, so although this strain is very resilient, it never hurts to keep an eye out for mold or mildew.

It is no surprise that recreational users adore NL because smoking it is immensely pleasurable. Perfect for winding down at the end of a long day or staying in on the weekends, it delivers profound relaxation with every toke. It sweeps away worries and fears, and gradually lifts you up into a persistent euphoria.

After some time, lethargy sets in. Some users report a mild psychedelic hit, but this is usually the result of a liberal dose. For most people, though, the ultimate outcome is drowsiness. Fighting sleep will become an exercise in futility; therefore, it is better to give in to the prospect of a restful and rejuvenating slumber.

Consequently, this is not the right strain if there are work-related tasks or housekeeping chores to be tackled. On top of extreme laziness, you will lose dexterity and find it difficult to follow a coherent train of thought.

Northern Lights Fast Fem is great for growers who want an abbreviated flowering period in order to harvest earlier. However, if you want to have more variety in your garden, the i49 seed bank features other strains you might be interested in. For example, OG Kush Fast Fem is an enduring classic. Like NL, it is primarily Indica and has a tranquilizing effect. The difference lies in the flavor. This strain presents the sour and fuel-like tones of its illustrious parent, Chemdawg.

Or, perhaps you are looking for something that is more energizing than sedating. If that is the case, Skunk Fast Fem is an excellent alternative. This Sativa-dom stimulates cerebral activity that leads to a creative and artistic buzz. As a medicinal strain, it can alleviate stress and increase appetite. The pungent odor may be off-putting for some, but connoisseurs know that it is a sign of high quality.

Still on the energetic side, but with a delicious fruit-based flavor, we have Cinderella 99 x Blueberry Fast Fem. Cindy 99 was interbred with DJ Short’s old-school Blueberry to replicate the tastes of a refreshing tropical salad. Apple, berries, citrus, and pineapple – it’s a cornucopia of delights. It has a moderately high level of THC to boot.

For a more balanced hybrid, though, try White Russian Fast Fem. Similar to the other fast versions just mentioned, it finishes its flowering stage in about 6 to 7 weeks. It is 50% Sativa for a rapid euphoria, but the other 50%, Indica, makes sure that you will remain clear-headed and calm. And with 19 to 22% THC, it has strong pain-relieving properties.

Finally, if fast feminized seeds are not fast enough for you, it is time to give autoflowers a go. Auto Northern Lights Fem is the ultimate in instant gratification. It has all the characteristics of NL Fast Fem that you enjoy, but this plant’s life span is even briefer. Moreover, it does not depend on the sun’s seasonal cycle to bloom, allowing you to plant and harvest at least twice a year outdoors.
