Northern Lights Outdoor Grow Guide

The Northern Lights strain is a popular choice for outdoor growers due to its resilience and ability to thrive in colder climates. This guide will provide you with all the information you need to grow Northern Lights outdoors successfully.

Climate

Northern Lights is well-suited to climates with cool nights and warm days. The ideal temperature range for this strain is between 60°F and 80°F (16°C and 27°C). Northern Lights can tolerate cooler temperatures, but it may not produce as much yield.

Site Selection

Choose a site that receives plenty of sunlight and has well-drained soil. The site should also be protected from strong winds.

Soil Preparation

Northern Lights prefers soil that is loose, well-aerated, and has a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. If your soil does not meet these requirements, you may need to amend it with compost or other organic matter.

Planting

Northern Lights can be planted outdoors in the spring or summer. When planting, dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant in the hole and fill it with soil, tamping down gently to remove any air pockets.

Watering

Water your Northern Lights plants regularly, especially during hot, dry weather. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Fertilizing

Northern Lights benefits from regular fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, and follow the instructions on the package.

Pruning

Pruning Northern Lights plants helps to improve air circulation and light penetration. Remove any dead or dying leaves and branches, and trim back any branches that are growing too close to the ground.

Harvesting

Northern Lights typically finishes flowering in late September or early October. The buds will be ready to harvest when they are dense and sticky, and the trichomes have turned a milky white color.
