Growing Northern Lights

Northern Lights is a photoperiod strain, so indoor growers switch the lights to 12/12 to start flowering, while outdoor plants respond to shortening days on their own in late summer. At a medium 3-4 ft with a medium yield, it is a forgiving plant for a first grow and does not demand a lot of floor space. New to photoperiod versus autoflower seeds?
