Dutch Treat Northern Lights

East Island Seed Co.

Indica 70 / Sativa 30
Origins: Dutch Treat x Northern Lights
Flowering: 50 days
Harvest: mid September

Dutch Treat, the mother side of this cross, is an 70% indica – a strong, dark pot with sticky solid tops, a sweetly orange bite and a stimulant stone. The father, Northern Lights, is a potent, relaxing indica, prized by hybrid breeders for its stability and fast cycle. Thus, the DT/NL cross appeals indica fans and pragmatic gardeners. Even in its home region, the rainy coasts of British Columbia, DT x NL is productive, hardy, and finishes flowering in only 7 weeks.

Once established, this plant’s rapid growth can be easily seen from one day to the next. DT x NL leaves are thin and may turn purplish at ripening. branches are bendy and may need to be tied up as the heavy buds can pull them down. Still, multi-branch plants are good yielders in this strain, producing many large, resinous tops.

Dutch Treat x Northern Lights equals a potent and fairly alert indica high. The stone comes on quite slowly but strengthens to a full-on buzz that most people find functional when there’s no heavy thinking required. However, this variety may also creep up to a couch-lock level, requiring a little time-out to recover a more social and functional state of mind. It can be a great aid to getting some restful time. DT x NL retains the fruity savor of its mother, with a distinct lean toward the citrus.
