I've never grown it before so I'm not sure on how easy or hard it is to grow
And yeah I really think their vendetta against it in the late 90's pretty much made that strain disappear from the face of the earth lol. It was some good shit, though. I remember there was a bunch of hype about it on both sides of the law. People were saying it was "highly addictive" and shit
Northern Lights is fun and easy to grow. It's a fairly heavy yielding plant and it has a very short flowering time being pure indica. I was growing some back in 2016 but it got lost in a DEA raid, so I'm excited to get my hands on it again.
