Northern Light#1 is one of the most forgivin strains there are, right after Skunk#1, easy to grow and maintain, grows big colas if looked after properly and even with a beginner the strain produces need dense potent buds. (one of the few strains that is even any good flowered under cfls of cause it is still a awful smoke then
but it got then at least some potency to it)
i grown it several years successful outdoors without doing much with it. my other favorite strain for that matter is big bud, easy too and if cared for well grows giant colas which are damn potent
