North Thunderfuck Strain: New And Improved Version Of MTF Strain
Matanuska Thunderfuck, or MTF, is an Alaskan heirloom strain that went off the radar in the 1990s. Forty years later, our expert breeders have created North Thunderfuck strain, an homage to the Alaskan classic that left cannabis lovers everywhere drooling.
Inspired by Matanuska Thunderfuck (MTF), a mysterious Alaskan classic dating back to the 80s, North Thunderfuck’s exact genetic lineage is still shrouded in mystery. One thing is very clear, though; this lemony THC monster will hit you like a train and leave you in a euphoric daydream for hours.
NORTH THUNDERFUCK STRAIN: GENETIC ANALYSIS
North Thunderfuck strain is our version of MTF, an iconic Alaskan cannabis variety that first crept into the spotlight in the 1970s.
MTF’s frosty buds delivered a strong, euphoric body buzz, and it’s aroma combined pungent notes of pine and earth with underlying hints of Skunk and mint. These plants grew short and thick, developing dark green fan leaves with up to eight fingers. They flowered extremely quickly and were perfect for growers working in cramped spaces. But even outdoors in the short, mild Matanuska summer, MTF could still produce exceptional bud.
Those cannabis aficionados lucky enough to try MTF during the late 1980s were dying for more of the strain, which, unfortunately, disappeared after the re-criminalisation of cannabis in 1990. After Alaska legalized and regulated the commercial market for cannabis in 2015, however, the search for MTF was back on. Now, over 40 years since it first popped its head out of the snow, we’re excited to bring back the glory of MTF.
Our North Thunderfuck strain was bred directly from MTF; after finding the phenotype with the right aroma, effects, bud structure, and growth traits, we backcrossed it over three generations to create a variety of MTF with a unique aroma and improved THC production.
GROWING NORTH THUNDERFUCK STRAIN: EXPERIENCE THE TRAITS OF MATANUSKA THUNDERFUCK
In the grow room, North Thunderfuck strain is a complete treat; whether you’re a rookie about to sprout your first seeds or a veteran looking for a new A-grade strain to bring into your grow room, North Thunderfuck won’t disappoint.
Originating from the Matanuska Valley, known for its long, cold winters and short, chilly summers, this strain is extremely hardy; it flourishes in slightly colder temperatures and has a natural resilience to pests and diseases. Its flowering time is roughly 65 days.
If you’re just starting out as a grower, feel free to let your plants grow as they choose, feeding them with a regular fertiliser during veg and a bloom booster during flowering. Flush for the final 1–2 weeks of flowering, then get ready to harvest some of the best bud you’ve ever seen.
If you’re an experienced grower, on the other hand, we recommend using a combination of LST, HST, lollipopping, and defoliation to really push this strain’s potential. Reaching heights of 80–120cm, North Thunderfuck strain is ideal for indoor growing. Her short, stocky structure also makes her an ideal candidate for a sea of green setup.
If you really want to let North Thunderfuck strain blow you away, move her outdoors. With enough soil and space, these plants can grow up to 190cm tall, producing tons of nodes that, come harvest time, will be heavy with thick, frosty buds. Yields average about 450–500g/m² indoors and 500g/plant outdoors.

With its complex terpene profile, North Thunderfuck strain boasts a delicious aroma with pronounced earthy pine overtones and hints of mint and citrus. While flowering, plants give off very pungent aromas that’ll reach every corner of your grow room. Then, after curing, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a container that can hold the smell of these buds; expect your friends to go wild the minute you pop the lid off your grinder before rolling up.
Its high concentrations of limonene give North Thunderfuck strain a unique lemon flavour that’ll dominate your palate after a single hit. On the exhale, you may pick up more earthy pine flavours, but they’ll be subtle compared to the big citrus note.
