New Strains Alert: La Niña, Sugar Punch, Hustler Kush, Ortega, and Monster Cookies

Very nice it works to insomnia and pain. When you use it at night it is like an sleep pill 









one of the best shit I've tried 
laughed like it was my first time smoking, happy as Fuck.
definitely would smoke again. 
kind of tricky suddenly it hits you.

This is an extremely good new strain that I came across back in December (2015). Long lasting effects, a very pleasant body high, and relief from muscle pains, insomnia and stress are some of the greatest benefits of this great little strain.

Really good indica. Usually any indica will knock me out right away but this one didn't, which means I actually got to enjoy it. It was a great high, very happy and care free. I laid down on my couch and felt like my whole body was made of pudding. Major dry mouth though.

<p><a href="/news/strains-products/strain-highlight-northern-lights-the-indica-legend-up-close">Northern Lights</a> stands among the most famous strains of all time, a pure <a href="/strains/lists/category/indica">indica</a> cherished for its resinous buds, fast flowering, and resilience during growth. Itself a descendant of indigenous <a href="/strains/afghani">Afghani</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/strains/thai">Thai</a>&nbsp;<a href="/news/cannabis-101/the-cannabis-origin-what-is-a-landrace-strain">landrace strains</a>, Northern Lights has given rise to famous <a href="/strains/lists/category/hybrid">hybrids</a> like&nbsp;<a href="/strains/shiva-skunk">Shiva Skunk</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/strains/super-silver-haze">Super Silver Haze</a>. Rumor has it that Northern Lights first sprouted near Seattle, Washington, but was propagated out of Holland after 1985 at what is now Sensi Seeds.</p>

<p>Pungently <a href="/strains/lists/flavor/sweet">sweet</a>, <a href="/strains/lists/flavor/spicy-herbal">spicy</a> aromas radiate from the crystal-coated buds, which sometimes reveal themselves in hues of purple. Northern Lights&rsquo; psychoactive effects settle in firmly throughout the body, <a href="/strains/lists/effect/relaxed">relaxing</a> muscles and pacifying the mind in dreamy <a href="/strains/lists/effect/euphoric">euphoria</a>. Comfortable laziness allows patients to relieve <a href="/strains/lists/symptom/pain">pain</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/symptom/insomnia">sleeplessness</a>, while its mellow contentment roots out <a href="/strains/lists/symptom/depression">depression</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/symptom/stress">stress</a>. Several different Northern Lights <a href="/news/growing/cannabis-genotypes-and-phenotypes-what-makes-a-strain-unique">phenotypes</a> circulate the market, but Sensi Seeds recommends a general indoor flowering time of 45 to 50 days.</p>
