OVERVIEW

Also known as “CI #5 F1,” the Northern lights #5 is an award winning Indica dominant hybrid strain. Since it has 26% THC content, it manages to slam the body into a numbing but equally wonderful lazy mode. It’s appearance is ordinary and is medium green in color with orange hairs surrounding it. This strain is well received by growers, medical patients, and recreational consumers and may be one of the most popular Indica strains of all time.

It smells sweet, piney and tangy. It tastes just the same as it smells, but first time smokers are advised to stay clear of it. It is known to be a one hit wonder and the high is overwhelming. It is enough to knock you out for hours. However, you will feel happy and will realize a sense of well-being. For experienced users, it can even instill a sense of creativity all the while increasing focus and concentration.

USES OF STRAIN

Like most of its Indica-based ancestors and descendants, Northern Lights #5 is highly recommended for evening use and insomnia. It is one of the purest Indica strains around (95 pct. Indica, 5 pct. Sativa) which make it a highly sedative strain. It is also often chosen to relieve the effects of stress and anxiety. Many choose it for the heavy body high to weaken their chains of chronic pain as well. And the strong appetite inducing effects are used to help those suffering from such eating disorders as anorexia.
