AK-48 as Nirvana now call it was a cinch to grow - a hungry grower which was fast and sturdy. I got 1/2oz from each plant which was in a 1.5 ltr pot (lots of bud for a pot that size). It had a low leaf-to-calyx ratio and took no time to trim. A good commercial and head stasher!

Nirvana AK-48 Ultra-Strong pheno

The second after I toked on this baby I was sent to la-la land, completely frazzled and paranoid as hell. Almost went into panic-attack (which I'm prone to) and then calmly ran into a mellow body stone. Flavoured & smelt slightly to the ammonia side.

If I could get over the inital hardcore sativa buzz, then I'd like this weed more but this phenotype in particular was too profound. Strictly for the hardcore stoners and caners

I'll grow this again purely for my mental friends, but a little too much for this lightweight haha!

Nirvana AK-48 Cherry pheno

I almost didn't try the Cherry pheno because of my previous experience with the Ultra-Strong pheno. But I'm glad I did...

As expected it tastes and smells like Cherrys with the usual AK ammonia dankness hanging around in the air

The hit was quick and fairly hard hitting, which instead of freaking me out, got me nicely lifted.

Didn't taste very good compared to Northern Lights but potency damn, it's definitely the most potent buds I have grown or smoked. Let it veg for 6-7-8 weeks it gets way more potent, I even got a contact high from it which I never do when I wasn't smoking. It is so potent it makes you slobber and fee ...continued

The plants grew very fast, with dark green leaves and a more Indica shape. This strain produces much resin, trim leaves are very resinous, so it’s a very good bubblehash producer. The yield is also very good, and manicuring takes little time. I mixed cow and chicken manure, with worm castings to the ...continued

8 seeds planted all germinated, I ended up with 2 females; one sativa and one indica phenotype. They were vegged for 7 weeks in soil using organic ferts. It grows fast and produces much better bud if vegged longer, 6 weeks at least, it's very easy to clone, and has a good yield. I also haven't seen ...continued

Ak48 from Nirvana Seeds was a pleasure to grow, very simple and it seemed if I ever did mess up with over-feeding or missed a watering because I was away the plant always bounced back with nothing to it.

After a 100% germination I started preparing myself for the worst - lots of good pot!

Hey people, this grow took place one year ago, its just that I never had the guts to do a real report, well there it goes.

When I got these seeds from a friend they were still called AK-47, I believe it is the same strain as today, or at least similar.

Anyways, we grew them in the bush formats

AK-48 grows fast,is compact and packs a lethal punch. This plant was short when flowering was initiated(about 1 foot) and didnt stretch much,it ended up 2 1/2 foot.

All seeds cracked in 24 hours, very fast germ rate, popped through the soil after 1 day, seedlings spent 2 weeks under fluoros, then under the 400w MH.

I vegged them for 10 weeks total, tying them down so all the side branches become like the main stem for more yield, as I haven't got much height

Very quick growing plants. Germinated 5 seeds, 1 didn’t crack, 2m and 2f. The two females were similar looking plants. There wasn’t a whole lot of stretch. Despite this being an indica they will get huge if you want them to. I’ve got clones going in a SOG right now and they are looking great.

I have kept the seeds in a fridge for about 2 years, and almost 100% germination.
They turn out great when planted, and grow long sativa like leaves, just make sure to put the light close so they dont stretch really bad at first.

These plants get really tall, and uniform growth
