How long, germination to harvest??
In the ground at 5 weeks. Harvest Late August/1st week of September.
Here's the skinny on Boreal Lights Super Auto. Some start flowering at 5 weeks from seed. Especially the males. So you may think you have all the males, but there's always a few fuckers who spring up last minute so you have to watch them like a hawk. Risky in a guerilla grow. I suggest you grow them Outdoor. If you grow them indoor, keep them at 24/24 or 18/6 all the way to finish or they'll hermie. So don't flip or 12/12 them.
Male at 5 weeks from seed. Some females start flowering as well.

----
Boreal Lights were bred as 70% Thailand Sativa (landrace) and 30% Afghani Indica (landrace) strain. Both Thai and Afghani parents are from original stock dating back to the days of Cheech and Chong. It grows like an Indica (bushy with strong short side branches) but stretches' like a Sativa.
THC/CBD: (Untested)
THC 20-25%.
CBD (Unknown).
Height:
They'll stretch and outrun anything you have next to it. 12 feet plus with a single 4 foot cola in a 3 gallon pot outdoor. 6-8 feet tall in the ground if you give it elbow room and will produce many short side branches holding large colas. Will grow 8-10+ feet in a 3 gallon pot (2 gallons of soil). The plant on the far left is 6' tall.
Yield:
3/4 pound in the wild.
1 pound in the wild with a prepared hole.
5 pounds in the ground in a prepared hole if you feed and water it regularly.
Harvest time:
Assuming you start indoor for 4 weeks and put it out June 1st, expect it to be ready mid August to September 1st. The lack of attention will speed them up so in the wild some will be ready as early as mid July.
Early Frost:
Medium. Expect them to hurt with ground frost in May. But they'll pull through.
Late Frost:
Bring it on! Fan leaves will take a beating after two sub zero nights, but the buds just tighten up a bit unharmed and begging to be harvested.
Mold:
Never. Extremely robust, even in hot humid weather during flowering.
Smell:
Males smell like Catnip plain and simple. Female Smell is strong and very sweet Pine with a note of pepper and fuel.
Smoke reports:
An awakening Sativa smoke without any anxiety effects at all. Happy, euphoric, creative/analytical initial high that mellows to a more reasonable relaxed state. No real couch lock but not racing either. Calming after the initial rush.
