Northstar

Northstar is a robust and hardy strain that consistently produces top-quality hemp flower. Unlike most hemp cultivars, this strain is high in CBG while remaining low in CBD and THC. Its unique cannabinoid profile, sweet-and-sour flavor, and stellar bag appeal are sure to please hemp smokers. Farmers love its vigorous growth, generous yield, and fully compliant THC content. This is an excellent Sativa-dominant hemp strain that will perform well in a variety of climates.

Northstar Origin

The Northstar hemp strain was created by Hemponix—a group of hemp farmers and breeders located in New London, Minnesota. Hemponix has over 30 years of experience in the seed industry and has created many popular hemp strains.

The selection process for Northstar was lengthy, and the team went through thousands of phenotypes in their hunt for Northstar. The plants they chose were exceptionally hardy and packed with CBG.

Northstar Feminized Hemp Seeds

Northstar is a powerful Sativa-dominant variety that descends from several well-known hemp cultivars. To create the strain, the breeders combined H5, White, and other well-known hemp cultivars that are high in CBG. The result is a vigorous and fast-growing strain that produces large, resinous flowers.

Qualities of Northstar

Aroma & Flavor

Northstar is rich in terpenes and delivers a pungent aroma. This variety smells distinctly of citrus, with hints of soil and skunk. Its robust flavor profile is perfect for fans of sweet-and-sour strains. The smoke is smooth and easy on the lungs, filling the room with the scent of orange and lemon.

Effects

Northstar is a high-CBG strain that contains less than 0.3% THC. This makes it compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill and ideal for hemp farmers who wish to remain compliant with federal THC regulations.

Given its rich CBG and low THC content, this variety delivers a clear-headed effect that may ease pain and relax the body without intoxicating the user. Northstar is also known for its ability to boost energy levels and improve focus.

Structure

Although this strain is Sativa-dominant, it is of average height. The plants tend to branch out with plenty of internodal spacing, making it great for outdoor cultivation. This variety forms strong branches that can withstand the weight of the hefty buds.

Northstar flowers are big and dense, with a deep green color. The trichomes are plentiful, and the buds are speckled with large pistils that are white and amber. Unlike many hemp strains, this variety offers great bag appeal.

Potential Medical Applications of Northstar

Northstar produces more than 15 percent CBG—a cannabinoid that is reported to offer many therapeutic benefits. Like CBD, this cannabinoid is nonintoxicating, and won’t leave users feeling lethargic or disoriented. Rather, some studies suggest that CBG may reduce inflammation, ease stress, and alleviate discomfort in the body.

Growing Northstar

Northstar is a robust and hardy strain that can be grown in a variety of environments. The plants typically reach maturity within 16 to 18 weeks after germination and show great resistance to powdery mildew and pythium.

Given the quick flowering time and resistance to cool temperatures, this strain is ideal for northern areas but can thrive in other regions as well. Its internodal spacing allows for plenty of airflow, making it perfect for outdoor grows. Whether in a greenhouse or outside, this strain consistently produces generous yields of around three pounds of flower.

Indoor Growing

Given its medium height, Northstar can be grown indoors if properly trained. Growers can top or super crop the plants to control the stretch during the flowering period. These techniques will also help to boost the yield of the strain and spread out the canopy for better light penetration.
