AK-48 by Nirvana Seeds is a commercial strain that has been parent to several award-winning crosses such as Jack 47, White Russian, Cream 47, and so on.
Type and Genetics
The feminized cannabis seeds of AK-48 from Nirvana Seeds result from a cross of genetics from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, and Afghanistan, creating a well-balanced hybrid with a clear, strong effect, leaning sativa with a relatively short flowering period. This is a cross that has won numerous awards, marketed by other banks as AK-47.
Growth
It grows vigorously with medium to long branches.
It adapts well to all types of growth but excels in indoor hydroponic systems.
Outdoors, it's a plant hardy against wind, cold, and diseases due to its Afghan heritage.
Aroma and Flavor
It has an intense terpene profile with prominent earth and floral notes. It likely won't be the most aromatic plant, making its cultivation quite discreet. The taste is sweet and fruity with a hint of lemon, coupled with earthy and floral notes.
Effect
The resulting effect from its combination of terpenes and cannabinoids is powerful; a happy, mind-based sativa effect combined with physical relaxation.
It's ideal for social gatherings, artistic events, or leisurely walks.
Therapeutically, it's helpful for managing stress, depression, and insomnia.
Yield
The buds of AK-48 are large, fat, and replete with resin.
Indoor yields range between 400 and 500 g per square meter and outdoor yields exceed 600 grams per plant grown in the ground or large pots.
Flowering in Indoor Cultivation
It finishes flowering in 7 to 9 weeks under lights, after the corresponding vegetative cycle.
Its cultivation with netting, whether from a cutting with SOG Sea Of Green technique or from a cutting or seed using SCROG Screen of Green method, will significantly increase AK-48 yield.
Flowering in Outdoor Cultivation
When grown under sunlight, outdoors, or in greenhouses, it's ready for harvest in mid-October in the northern hemisphere and mid-April in the southern hemisphere.
Its branchy structure will benefit from using a plant support ring, which amplifies yield.
