Growers have been breeding and
adapting marijuana to indoor growing since
the late 60’s. Starting with equatorial and
indica strains, breeders have produced
faster growing more potent varieties.
Although this work has been done
informally, the net effect of having
thousands of breeders working has been
the equivalent of a national program to
improve quality.
Since the opening of the marijuana
seed companies in Holland, growers in the
United States have easy access to many
excellent varieties. Some of the varieties
well adapted to closet cultivation are listed
below.
SKUNK #1 - Developed by Sacred
Seeds and produced by both Seed Bank
(SB) and S.S.S.C. It is a stabilized indica-
sativa hybrid with a strong odor and very
potent, pleasant high. It is fairly high
yielding and can be grown with high
intensity lights indoors. It has a moderate
internode (length between leaves) length.
Excellent for greenhouses or skylights. For
indoor growers Skunk is used for
hybridizing.
NORTHERN LIGHTS - An indica hybrid
bred by northwest growers and popularized
by the Seed Bank. This variety does very
well in grow rooms because of relatively
low light requirements. It is a compact and
is easily kept short. Northern Lights buds
are among the most potent in the world. It
has quite a distinctive "personality." It is
