Genetics: Northern Lights #5 (Afghan-Inspired Inbred Line)

This is a true IBL reproduction of the original Northern Lights #5—one of the most influential lines in modern cannabis breeding. These seeds were produced from a batch gifted to me by Seattle Greg, the same individual who provided the Northern Lights collection to Nevil Schoenmakers and The Holland Seed Bank in 1984.
The Legacy: Northern Lights #5 from the Source
The Northern Lights #5 line represents a pinnacle in early indoor hybridization, known for its resin content, structural reliability, and ease of cultivation. This seed batch was originally stored in the early 1980s and had not been reproduced until now. Every plant grown from this reproduction showed elite traits—uniform structure, vibrant growth, and dense trichome development.
The Reproduction: NL #5 IBL
This is not a re-creation—it’s a faithful preservation. All plants used in this IBL project were grown from the original 1983–84 seed stock and selected for classic broadleaf expression, short flowering time, and aromatic consistency. The aroma is unmistakably vintage—earthy, hashy, and sharp, reminiscent of the late 1980s indoor scene.
Whether you’re hunting for a cornerstone parent for breeding, or just looking to experience a time capsule of foundational genetics, this NL#5 IBL delivers.
