How to grow Aurora B regular
Taste
Seb's take
Northern Lights #10 crossed with Skunk #1, skunky and sweet with a hashish note that gives way, oddly, to a hint of Coca-Cola on the exhale. Very pungent — does not travel discreetly, and a decent filter is not optional. The Northern Lights side wins out in production: long, resinous buds in generous number.
Where it comes from
Flying Dutchmen offer Aurora B as a regular line, and while the record's parent field reads Europa and Niederlande F1, the rawDesc is plain that she is a hybrid of Northern Lights #10 and Skunk #1, so it is that heritage I will trust. A fifty-fifty Indica-Sativa split. The Skunk shows in the aroma, the Northern Lights in the production, which is a sensible division of labour between two of the most dependable names in the book.
Nose & flavour
A classic skunk aroma that smells of sweet, wet earth, over a sweet hashish base, and then a genuine surprise on the palate: a definite hint of Coca-Cola beneath the earthiness. It is that cola note that catches most consumers off guard, an unexpected sweetness under the skunk. Very pungent, and no traveller of discretion; a good filter is not optional.
The high
The record does not itemise the effects, so I will keep to her bearing. A fifty-fifty split between Northern Lights and Skunk #1 tends toward a balanced experience, neither wholly lifted nor wholly settled, at up to 20% THC. I will not invent particulars the record withholds; suffice to say her parentage points to steady, middle-of-the-road company rather than either extreme.
Growing it
Fifty-six to sixty-three days in flower, a standard turn. The Northern Lights side wins out in production, giving long and highly resinous buds in generous number, though the record sets down no precise yield or height for me to cite. What it stresses is the smell: she is a very pungent plant, and indoor growers will want a good filtration system in place before she hits her stride. At up to 20% THC, a resinous, aromatic regular for the properly ventilated room.
