AK-48: Sweet Citrus Skunk

AK-48 Auto seeds grow into medium to tall plants with brightly coloured buds and deep green leaves. While the leaves aren't large, they are effective at attracting the sun's powerful UV rays. The buds are small but potent and littered with white and orange pistils. The leaves and buds are equally covered in dusty resin. The trichomes on this plant add to the memorable aroma that is similar to that of old-school bud. You can smell this plant the second you walk into the room. The harvested nuggets are small and dense, with a dank aroma seeping out. Once you break these nuggets apart, your immediate area will fill with skunky and earthy scents. Your fingers will become sticky if you break these nuggs up with your hands. AK-48 Auto has not won any major awards as of yet, but it has been written about online as a massively popular strain in the growing community. The strain grows faster than normal and produces buds rich in THC, perfect for smoking. You don't have to be an expert cultivator to get this strain to harvest.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The AK-48 strain grows best in bright sunlight, warm temperatures, ample humidity, and nutrient-rich soil. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors by first-time growers, as you don't need a green thumb to bring this strain to harvest. If you are planning on growing indoors, you will need to replicate the natural conditions in which this plant thrives. If you are growing outdoors, make sure you leave room for these plants to grow, as they can grow tall and bushy. Canadian households may cultivate up to four plants per household for personal use, though regulations vary by province.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: AK-48 marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 21–29 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. This strain requires 18–20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle.
• Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 55–60% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 30–40% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Getting the humidity levels correct will ensure that your plants don't become mouldy.
• Training Techniques: AK-48 cannabis performs well with low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques. These methods will increase yields by helping each bud to grow. Bigger buds mean bigger yields of high-quality cannabis.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the AK-48 strain to be harvest-ready after a short flowering period of 50–60 days. Outdoors, it should be harvest-ready sometime in October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. Maximising yields by growing this strain correctly benefits the grower greatly. These yields are fantastic, especially if it is your first time growing cannabis.

Dominant Terpenes in AK-48: Lemon and Earth

The AK-48 terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while pinene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Earthy and herbal, contributing to the strain's relaxing effects on the user. Also known as the "Mother of Terpenes".
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene adds flavour and aroma to cannabis plants.
• Caryophyllene: Peppery – Known for being spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis.

Dominant Cannabinoids in AK-48:

Cannabinoids play an important role in AK-48 seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxing, uplifted, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the AK-48 strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character - THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 18%, the THC in this indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying AK-48 cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts - While the CBD levels in AK-48 are around 2%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the AK-48 strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
