What does Northern Dawn feminized smell like?
Grow Northern Dawn seeds, and you'll harvest a haul of resin-coated buds containing a cocktail of fragrance-enhancing terpenes. Limonene, pinene, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene come together to create this strain's inviting aroma and flavor.
Fresh buds exude a fruity fragrance with herbal undertones and hints of pine and earth. The smell becomes quite pervasive as flowering progresses, which may present issues for stealth growers. Use a carbon filter extraction system to soak up the bold scents from your plants.
The aroma of the buds intensifies and gains complexity during the curing process. Fully-cured nugs ooze a rich mix of tropical citrus, herbs, and fresh pine needles. Breaking open the crystal-coated flowers releases a musky earthiness and a slight hint of exotic spices.
Notes of pine and musk are prominent in the thick smoke from Northern Dawn seed-grown buds, balancing out the lighter fruity elements. Inhale, and you're greeted with a flood of sweet and sour citrus flavors on the tongue. The exhale tastes of earth and pine, and there's a gentle lingering aftertaste of herbs.

Northern Dawn feminized seeds grow guide
Although this strain is sativa-dominant, plants grown from Northern Dawn seeds inherit most of their growth characteristics from Northern Lights. This is great news for cultivators, as the stout indica profile and high resistances make growing a low-stress endeavor. Farmers of all skills achieve excellent results with this robust, easy-to-grow hybrid.
Plant your Northern Dawn feminized seeds in organic soil to boost the fragrance and flavor of the cannabis. Microorganisms in the soil facilitate enhanced terpene development, resulting in better-tasting buds.
Hydroponically growing your Northern Dawn seeds is another viable option but may cost more initially. The precise nutrient control afforded by hydro setups results in improved growth rates and correspondingly higher yields.
Indoor growers should provide their growing plot with sufficient light coverage of at least 600 watts. Speed up vegetative growth by keeping your temperatures at 69–79°F and using an 18:6 or 20:4 photoperiod. Keep air flowing through the plants with regular pruning. If you've got some experience, use low-stress training methods to spread out the limbs, helping with airflow and light penetration.
Cannabis grown from Northern Dawn fem seeds flowers for 8–10 weeks. Expect a significant stretch once flowering kicks in; be prepared to adjust your lights. Keep the plants well-pruned until harvest, where your indoor plot should yield 16–19 oz. /m².
Fem Northern Dawn seeds grow well outdoors, even in cooler conditions, but you'll get the best results in warm, sunny climates. A Screen of Green (ScrOG) system works excellently outside if you've got the space. Scrogging trains your plants laterally, keeping their profile low while allowing them to get the most from the sun.
If you're growing feminized Northern Dawn seeds in the Northern Hemisphere, aim to harvest around October. Flowering takes 8–10 weeks, during which, keep the plants well-pruned while avoiding overfeeding. Each Northern Dawn plant yields 16–19 oz. of top-quality cannabis in ideal conditions.
What are Northern Dawn feminized strain genetics?
Breeders created feminized Northern Dawn seeds by combining two iconic, well-loved strains; Dutch coffee shop favorite, Northern Lights, and the unforgettable Amnesia Haze. The resulting hybrid is a match made in heaven, fusing the best qualities of its parents into a new, unique smoking experience.
Our first proud parent is the deliciously narcotic Northern Lights. This indica cultivar produces tough, compact plants whose stupendously resinous buds hit like a freight train. Its colorful, pine-flavored buds are a favorite among medicinal and recreational users alike.
The other genetic donor of Northern Dawn fem seeds is Amnesia Haze. This stimulating sativa is a top wake-and-bake choice for smokers everywhere. The energetic and uplifting buzz of its sharp, fruity buds livens up your day with a mood-boosting, slightly psychedelic set of cerebral properties.
The resulting offspring is truly a best-of-both scenario. The electrifying cerebral qualities and zesty tropical flavors of Amnesia Haze are present, but gone are its delicate profile and sensitive nature. Instead, Northern Lights genetics provide a tough indica structure, impressive resin-production, and a dash of its soothing indica effects.
Wellness and Northern Dawn feminized seeds
The psychoactive qualities of cannabis grown with Northern Dawn seeds mean it's not your typical medicinal choice. CBD levels are also low, limiting its analgesic potential. Despite that, users seeking medicinal/recreational overlap may find these buds more therapeutic than they thought.
The profoundly elevating and animating sativa side of Northern Dawn has the potential to eliminate lethargy in small doses. The refreshing qualities could be just the thing to kick-start your motor and get you over the hump. Its inescapably positive buzz is enough to paint the world in a kinder light and provide a dose of optimism.
Cannabis grown from Northern Dawn feminized seeds gets its physical effects from Northern Lights, a popular medicinal strain. While Northern Dawn's sedative effects aren't as profound as its parent's, it may still provide relief for various physical issues. A bowl or two provides slow-release relaxation with the potential to soothe tired, aching muscles and ease low to moderate pain.
If you haven't been eating well, the hunger pangs induced by these buds may help stimulate a healthy appetite. The gentle, relaxing properties gradually become more sedative at higher intake levels. If you've gone off-schedule with your sleep, a few after-dinner hits of Northern Dawn should have you sufficiently sleepy come bedtime.

Do you stock other Northern Dawn seed variants?
While it's not always possible, we offer seed variants for as many cultivars as possible.
Regular marijuana seeds are naturally formed seeds with a full set of chromosomes. This means the seeds have an equal chance of developing into males or females. Male plants produce no buds, but growers interested in breeding or creating hybrids rely on them. Males pollinate females, transferring their genetics to the seeds formed on the female.
Feminized cannabis seeds like our Northern Dawn seeds don't have male chromosomes. Without these, feminized cannabis seeds develop into female plants 99.9% of the time. Avoid the genetic lottery of regular seeds and ensure an all-female crop by using feminized marijuana seeds.
Autoflower marijuana seeds are the offspring of strains crossed with ruderalis genetics. Cannabis ruderalis flowers regardless of photoperiod length. Ruderalis hybrids, or auto variants, inherit this trait, eliminating the need for lighting management and allowing for year-round outdoor cultivation. Autoflower plants tend to grow much shorter and flower faster than their regular or feminized variants.
Are there any other names for Northern Dawn feminized?
You may come across this cultivar under the name “Aurora Borealis,” a reference to the Northern Lights. Apart from this, we're unaware of any other nicknames for these Northern Dawn seeds.
