Seb's take
Herbies Seeds' evolution of a global classic, bred from Northern Light Auto and Blueberry Auto to thrive regardless of season or setting.

Where it comes from
Herbies Seeds' evolution of a global classic — Northern Light Auto crossed with Blueberry Auto for a plant built to thrive in practically any situation, indoors or out, winter or summer. The brief, by the record's account, was to keep the original's potency and dependability while adding ruggedness and ease. The Blueberry half brings a little fruit to the famous indica frame. A well-considered update to a plant that scarcely needed one.
Nose & flavour
Sweet, piney and fruity — the Blueberry parent lending its fruit to the resinous, pine-led Northern Lights base. A rounded, agreeable nose with the sweetness carrying and the pine keeping it grounded. It suits the settled effect behind it, and the dense, resinous buds hold the aroma well.
The high
Sleepy, relaxed and happy — a dependable indica wind-down at 16 to 18% THC, with a notable 2% CBD alongside to round it out. The record leans on the word dependable, and the effect earns it: steady, unhurried, evening-leaning company. No surprises, which is rather the point of a plant bred for consistency.
Growing it
Rugged and sturdy, with a low-maintenance philosophy that rewards minimal fuss — she thrives across seasons and settings alike. Standing around 100cm and flowering across 56 to 70 days, she returns a solid 450 to 550 g/m² of dense, resinous flower. A forgiving, consistent autoflower for a grower who wants the classic without the fuss or the wait. Clean your scissors afterward; the resin will earn it.
