Northern Lights is a legendary indica born from Afghani and Thai landrace genetics, prized for its deeply relaxing, sleepy euphoria.

Knock Out
Broad profile15 listed sources
Knock Out is a 50/50 hybrid with a genetic identity crisis — depending on the breeder, it traces to XXX x End Game #3, Triangle Kush x OG Kush, or several other OG-leaning crosses. Dominant in Caryophyllene, it opens energetic, talkative, and creative before settling into deep relaxation and sleep. THC ranges widely (10-34.81%), so dosing carefully matters. Best suited for evening stress relief and winding down.
