This isn’t just another auto—it’s a rugged, resilient upgrade of a legendary strain, engineered to thrive with minimal effort and maximum return. Whether you’re in a rainy backyard or a cramped closet, this plant adapts, survives, and produces.

It’s the ideal choice if you're looking for fast results, consistent yields, and a deeply relaxing effect without needing a PhD in botany. From first timer to seasoned stealth grower, this strain earns its spot in your setup.

High Resin, Big Flavor, Knockout Effect

• Delivers up to 600 g/m² (21.2 oz/ft²) indoors thanks to its dense, compact bud structure.
• Thrives in cold or hot climates—ideal for unpredictable outdoor seasons or uncontrolled indoor spaces.
• Produces frosty, trichome-covered buds perfect for dry sift or hash making.
• Flavors of spicy pepper, earth, and subtle fruit create a rich, nostalgic smoke.

Common Doubts—And Why They Don’t Apply Here

You might think autos are weak or low-yielding. In reality, this strain packs 20% THC and outperforms many photoperiods in resin and resilience. You might worry it won’t survive your cold balcony. In reality, it’s been tested in harsh conditions and comes back stronger. You might fear complex feeding. In reality, it handles high EC and forgives minor mistakes—just keep it fed and lit.

How to Grow It Right (Without the Stress)

1. Start with a final pot of 18–27 L (5–7 gal) to avoid transplanting and reduce stress.
2. Use 18–20 hours of light daily—no need to switch schedules with this autoflower.
3. Keep humidity at 40–50% in flowering to prevent mold, especially in dense colas.
4. Support heavy branches with soft ties if growing in optimal conditions.
5. Flush nutrients 7–10 days before harvest for smoother smoke and better flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this strain good for beginners?

Absolutely. Its resilience, forgiving nature, and fast cycle make Original Auto Northern Lights one of the best beginner-friendly autos on the market.

Can I grow it outdoors in a cold climate?

Yes. This strain handles cold temperatures well, making it perfect for short summers or rainy regions. Just ensure it gets enough light and avoid waterlogged soil.

Does it smell strongly during flowering?

It has a medium to strong aroma—especially in late flowering. For discreet grows, pair it with Hesi PH Down Flowering pH reducer to optimize nutrient uptake and reduce odor intensity.

How much yield can I expect in a small indoor tent?

In a 60x60x120 cm (24x24x47 in) tent with a 250W LED, expect 40–60 g per plant. Use Kit Biocanna for balanced nutrition and stronger resin production.

Can I use LST on this autoflower?

Yes, low-stress training works well. Apply gently during early veg to open up the canopy—just avoid topping or FIM, as autos have limited recovery time.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I was skeptical at first—another 'easy auto' promising big yields and knockout effects? But after seeing dozens of customers come back for more, I gave it a try. Grew three in my garage under a 300W LED, 18/20 light cycle, in 20L pots. No fancy nutrients—just a solid base feed and a bloom booster from Top Bud. What surprised me was how fast they packed on weight in week 7. By harvest, each was pushing 150g—rock hard, frosty as hell. The high? Instant body melt. I don’t usually smoke indica-heavy strains during the day, but this one? I hit it once and was done for the night. If you want reliability, potency, and minimal fuss, this is your plant.
