Wow! This strain rocks! I've smoked it in an enclosed area as well as outdoors in nature. Both times I had a blast! I was researching about something, and decided to have a puff. I immediately felt intrigued and motivated about the topic I was researching; I felt focused, uplifted, creative, and passionate about what I was doing. I also smoked this on the beach and outdoors in the forest. It was an awesome time, the air was so fresh, I was happy, euphoric, and I was left in a tranquil state all day. This strain is both very peaceful, euphoric and uplifting...yet at the same time it is also enjoyable for those who may suffer from anxiety, but wish to benefit from a hybrid that doesn't put you to sleep like a heavy Indica does. I strongly believe that this would be an amazing strain for a University Student, someone who needs to use their brain during the day, or someone who just needs to relax and be creative without feeling sedated and fatigued. Damn, I love you Northern Lights #5!

This has to be on of the best Strains I have ever had. This sweet, and potent, flavour takes care of my ADHD/OCD & chronic pain with ease. Leaving my mind to it's creative and scientific vices with an astute focus that is, so far; paralleled by None. Northern Lights #5 is definitely a Strain to be reckoned with...
