Northern Lights reviews
So, my first time actually grinding up and smoking the infamous Northern Lights! For starters… my 3.5g package was a SINGLE NUG! This bad boy was massive, kief covered, jolly deep green GIANT! I’ve NEVER seen an 8th as one nug! In the grinder, it gets a touch cakey, but nothing too bad, but when handled with your fingers, it gets STICKY as all hell! Lemon, Earth and Pine smell! Strong, but no overpowering. We are off to a HELL of a pre-smoke start!
It’s more earthy. I guess woodsy as well. You don’t really get the pepper that you’d expect with beta-caryophylene, but it’s a very muted, smooth smoke. Not too bad on the coughing, but there are a few after smoke coughs. Nothing crazy. Oh… WOW… I’m in the mountains…I’m in a cabin… with a big fire in the hearth. There’s a bear out there somewhere. He’s got him a fish, and a coka-cola. I gotta listen to some music. You should try something like “Stoners” by Berner and B-Real. Really oddly fits the mountain vibe. VERY heady peak high, as I’m sure you’ve already gathered, lol… The body high had me feeling at first like the Michelin man while I was hangin with my bear friend. Then it settles into a nice, warm, hoodie with you favorite jammies. Sipping you’re favorite cold weather beverage next to that awesome ass fire! Just a really cool head trip and then just incredible relaxation. It’s pretty velcroey throughout. Bowl couldn’t have been more than 80ish % full, smallish/standard bowl. Sizable but still not the WHOLE bowl. Also, Helvetia - Stoners has some trippy riffs... but it does kind of overstay it's welcome. Much like my review. NOT a beginner strain... But STILL try if you can!
Picked up an 1/8th of this from the company called Sunnyside because I'd never after 10yrs of smoking tried the famed Northern Lights and had this on my bucket list. I ended up with smalls in a regular container, nbd, the trim job wasn't the best but the buds were still tight (if not overly dried out....)....I still gave it a chance and lit a bowl of this up, immediately coughed out a lung for about 20 minutes, could not clear the tickle in my throat, chugged a ton of water, ate a spoonful of honey, gargled salt....I was so annoyed until the medicine hit. Wheeeeeeewwww. I had to sit down it was so beautiful. Touching, almost. Suddenly the shit trim job did not matter. At all. Neither did the extremely harsh smoke or coughing fit I had for a long time after. All I knew was I wanted nothing more than to smoke on this strain all day every day. This one sets me right every single time. And it is strong. Would not recommend for a beginner. Just picked up another 1/4 of this the other day, also from Sunnyside, and was extremely pleased to find I'd purchased high quality, dense, BIG nugs, they are so nice & frosty and break down beautifully, best of all they smoke waaaaay better than that first batch and I will say the medicine is STRONG. I had a little joint of these and three hours later I was still riding that high slowly down. Unbelievably nice weed. Hoping I can find it regularly available at my dispo because I do NOT want to miss out on having this in my medicine cabinet at all times. It's just so.....pretty. Beautiful. The experience is majestic. And I never wanna be without it. I can see, fully, why this strain is famed. There's just nothing wrong with it!! I can smoke some 3 hours before bed, have a dance party, clean my room, journal a little, have a snack, then wind down and fall asleep with a soft smile on my face. It's that good and the medicine lasts for so long. Thankful I've got this one around!!
This strain takes me to sleepville today on the dry flower vape POTV Lobo train. First stop, around 350 for some brightly flavorful citrusy notes that were so clean. Then small vape clouds with a heavier flavor I can't really recall, but it kept hitting through most of the 4 minute cycle session until it seemed tapped out at about 420 of course. And the n here I lie now, tippy tapping these notes to strange cannabis connoisseurs collectively all over, poring over the matter like it has some urgency, some real useful need. And I hope it does! Listen, this strain is gloobaliciously suprafleshtostic. So yeah you bake bake bake like a couch potato into sleep, and it is fantastic. Especially when you have good music in the headphones. Gosh Northern Lights is a good one when you want to chill well and let sleep take you.
I tried Northern Lights in a cozy coffeeshop in the Netherlands. It was my first time smoking flower, and I chose it mostly because the name sounded cool. I wasn’t expecting how hard it would hit — it genuinely knocked me out, head‑on‑the‑table style.
This strain is definitely best when you intend to relax or go to sleep, ideally at home. It delivers a heavy, full‑body calm that can quickly turn sedating. If you need to be somewhere or feel rushed — like catching a train — it can create a bit of anxiety because the body high is so strong and grounding.
Overall, it’s a very solid strain that does exactly what it’s known for: deep relaxation and serious couch‑lock, just make sure you’re on your couch and don’t need to be places.
I grew a Autoflower of this girl out from RSQ... She slaps. But she fooled me. She put me in such a trance for a week straight before I realized it was the Northern Lights that I filled a whole carousel of vape pods with everyday (because she tastes so good). So I'm thinking she tastes good I can vape her all day.... No Sir/Ma'am. I now realize after a week of thinking something was medically wrong with me because my health doesn't tilt towards severe fatigue or lethargy. One very unproductive week taught me she is for the sheets 😴💤🛌🏼🥱
Picked up the Northern Lights cart from Roll One. For the price, the hardware is suprisingly solid, no clogs or leaks so far. The flavor is heavy on citrusy pine and earth notes, nothing artifical. As for the effects, it's a good winding down strain. After 3-4 pulls at 2.8v, I feel that warm relaxtion come over my body. Great value for a budget brand.
Northern Lights was exactly what I needed. The effects came on gently but noticeably, and it helped calm both my pain and my nausea without making me feel too out of it. The body relaxation was deep and comforting, and the mental lift was smooth and peaceful. It’s one of those strains that feels like a soft exhale after a long day. Definitely a new go‑to for symptom relief
This strain will put you tf to SLEEP, but first you’re gonna take a little journey. I bought this strain before going on vacation to a place where you can see a complete 360 of the sky, clear. Smoking this and watching the sun set and the stars come out was a spiritual experience.
