Southern Lights, formerly known as White Star, gets its name from its trichome coated limbs, which point out like rays of light in every direction. ;This strain is the Sativa-dominant progeny of two highly awarded strains; Paradise Seeds' Sensi Star, winner of Highlife and High Times awards in 1999 and 2000, and Soma s New York City Diesel, three time Cannabis Cup winner and a favourite amoung the Amsterdam crowd. Conventional wisdom says that Sativa s give smokers a head high in contrast to the Indica body stone. Southern Lights successfully mixes the two for a buzz that both tingles the pores and opens the third eye. Recommended for indoor gardens, this variety s flowers may begin to reach maturity at around nine weeks but the average time is closer to ten weeks.
