Big Northern Autoflowering
Big Northern Autoflowering is a modern, autoflowering variety derived from the cross of Northern Lights and Ruderalis. The origins and specific breeding history of this strain are undocumented, reflecting the often ambiguous lineage typical of many contemporary autoflowering developments. As a modern hybrid, it is not a landrace or heirloom variety, but rather a functional synthesis designed for specific growth cycles.
The terpene bouquet is defined by a confirmed hierarchy, starting with caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, pinene, limonene, linalool, terpinolene, beta-pinene, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, ocimene, humulene, camphene, isopulegol, bisabolol, gamma-terpinene, and guaiol. This complex chemical composition contributes to an aromatic profile that reflects a broad spectrum of volatile compounds, anchored by the peppery notes of caryophyllene and supplemented by the earthy, piney, and citrus undertones present throughout the profile.
This THC-dominant strain produces effects that are characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These outcomes make it a suitable choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid for sleep. Cultivation is considered easy, with a 77-day flowering period, and it is capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Despite its versatility in the grow room, the plant produces a low yield. There are no recorded offspring associated with this strain.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
