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!

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 soil, and never fed again, plants were very healthy during all their lives. I grew outdoors with full sunlight. plants where small because of my latitude (23 degrees south), so they grew for like 25 days and flowered. I only grew 2 plants of this strain, one had a small pot and became 1/4 of the size of the other plant. I observed 2 different phenos, and called them Silver (small plant) and Pine (big plant)

Pine pheno: Wide leaves, dark green, heavy yielder. At harvest the smell was piney (never heard of pine smell in AK, but mine had). After a week curing the smell is becoming more like citrus. The taste is pretty much the same as the smell. It’s not that 1 hit wonder, but it’s potent. No couch-lock effects (or very little), Makes you think in lots of stuff, but allows to concentrate when needed. the main effect lasts like 1 - 1,5 hour, then it lows and the body effects become more evident, you can even sleep if you don’t keep moving.

Silver pheno: The plant was very small due to pot size, had more sativa-like leaves, lighter green, lower yield. the smell is fruitier on this one. the buds had a more silver appearance because of the resin, even when dry this pheno looks more crystal. the high is also more heady and active. I would keep this pheno.

The AK-48 is a very beautiful plant, that grows fast and easily, and has lots of resin. I expected a little more on the high of this plant, but I still recommend it to everyone. It was a pleasure to grow, and I'll surely do it again.

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

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.

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.
