How to grow Northern VIP
Seb's take
Northern Delights crossed with what the breeder coyly calls a 'secret hybrid' — VIP Seeds keeping their cards close. Roughly 80% indica, compact at up to 1.2 metres, and ready indoors within 65 days with yields around 650g/m². High THC, by their own account, so approach as you would a staircase in the dark.
Growing Northern VIP: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 120 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 600 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.
