Northern Lights #5 reviews

Cool

I love this strain. I would smoke it every day if I could.

This is an all time potent classic. Piney citrus smell and warming body buzz are great. Type of stuff that puts a stupid smile on your face and there's no hiding how stoned you are. Will always be one of my favorite indicas.

This is one spectacular strain. Once smoked I usually get in bed, on my laptop and start writing. This strain offers a very sweet mellow high that allows you to sink comfortably into your chair. When smoked outside this strain makes the night sky dance wondrously as the stars and moon glow above you.

Full disclosure, I've always loved this strain, so I may be a bit biased. I picked this up at a local San Diego dispensary. It tested at 28.39% THC, 0.00% CBD, and 0.05% CBN. This batch certainly had bag appeal – look, smell, and feel were all there – and it did not disappoint. It was a bit darker of a light green, if that makes sense – an army green. Good looking structure, a fair amount of orange hairs and a decent covering of trichomes, but not super glimmery or sticky between the fingers. The smell when first opening the bag is sweet, fruity, with a bit of pine – maybe even a bit tangy, as others have noted. A little whaft of earthiness seems to come through as well. The buds are denser, not giving too much with a squeeze between the fingers. They feel pretty sturdy, not at all "airy" or "popcorn-ish," but didn't stick to the fingers. When ground up, the aromas intensify, a sweet pine coming more to the forefront. I packed a bowl for the bubbler – the taste/inhale/exhale is similar to its smell, but much, much more pine comes through. A delightful taste, bringing back memories of smoking this strain in the Eastern Sierras & Yosemite. I'm a longtime cannabis user, but have scaled back and generally keep my use to night time, so I'm pretty used to indicas. This batch was definitely relaxing, but helpful in getting the creative juices and ideas going, as well as allowing one to expound on those ideas. My body was relaxed, but I could still write. While I love this strain, and may be a bit biased, this batch didn't quite reach that amazing, 5 star connoisseur level. The smell and taste were fantastic; the structure and look were good; and the effects were great – relaxing, yet uplifting to allow creativity and ideas, with enough focus to expound on those. I don't know – on the edge of 5 stars, but knowing my bias for the strain it wouldn't feel fair. I'd say 4.5/5 stars, would definitely pick up this strain/batch again!

Great to chill and laugh a little. You don't want to move your body because it's so relaxed, but at the same time you can use all your sences, you can still know what's happening around. Very relaxing but still awake!!

delicious in everyway. Takes me back to the younger days.

It has that classic crisp taste that is really nostalgic. Surprisingly smooth inhale and a great exhale. so far a really relaxing high that i can feel in my face a few mins after smoking. Overall i enjoyed the smoke
