Indica cultivars × Experimental crossbreeding
Northern Soul is an indica-dominant strain developed by Seedsman, recognized for its powerful relaxing effects. It was bred using traditional methods combined with modern cultivation insights, focusing on stability, yield, and potency. This strain offers a balanced experience rooted in classic indica genetics.
Appearance
Northern Soul exhibits dense, tightly structured buds characteristic of indica varieties, often displaying a deep forest green color with vibrant accents. Its buds are coated in sparkling trichomes, contributing to a potent appearance. Growers have noted that the buds can achieve impressive sizes, with elongated pistils ranging from bright orange to deep red, signaling optimal harvest times.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Northern Soul is a complex blend of earthy and woodsy scents, complemented by subtle hints of spice and pepper, reminiscent of a misty forest. Upon consumption, the flavor profile mirrors its aroma, delivering a robust fusion of earthy tones with a husky, spicy finish. Inhalation reveals deep pine and forest floor notes, while the exhale leaves a lingering spice.
Effects
Northern Soul is primarily known for delivering powerful, relaxing effects consistent with its indica heritage. It is favored for its ability to promote a sense of calm. The strain's balanced cannabinoid profile is noted to help mitigate potential anxiety sometimes associated with high THC concentrations.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses identify myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene as dominant terpenes in Northern Soul. The strain consistently tests between 18% and 24% THC, with CBD levels typically below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are present in trace amounts, contributing to its overall effects.
Growing
Seedsman bred Northern Soul with an emphasis on robustness and yield. The strain's genetic blueprint was selected for enhanced resin production and resilience, with some plants showing significantly higher yields compared to standard benchmarks. Genetic stability was a key focus during its development.
Origins & Lineage
Northern Soul is a predominantly indica-dominant strain, with approximately 70-80% of its lineage stemming from classic indica cultivars. It was developed by Seedsman through selective breeding, combining renowned indica varieties with traits from experimental crossbreeding to achieve a stable and potent hybrid.
