1. The History of Northern Lights
Like with many plants seeds, the exact history behind Northern Lights is a mystery. Plants folklore has it that the original Northern Lights was bred from Afghani landrace seeds grown on an island near Seattle, Washington.
Northern lights was apparently grown by a man known as “The Indian”, he grew a total of 11 plants he named Northern Lights #1-11, it was rumored he was working with true Afghani landrace Inds and kept diaries comparing size, return, and effect of each individual plant. When returning time came he was left with 2 plants that were clearly better than the others, these two were big and bushy, with heavy buds covered in ok.

He took a couple of clones to The Netherlands where he was already experimenting with genetics from all across the world. In 1985 he released a unique variety of Nothern Lights that was quickly appraised as the best pure Afghani Ind.
