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 ...continued

I got this strain because I wanted the "one hit wonder". I knew it wouldn't get me stoned after just a hit, but I want to see the strain that can do that to me.

Grow:

I germed 4 seeds, and they all sprouted.
They grew uniformly and fast, they were a bit different tho, some were more sativa than others.
One pheno, sativa dominant, grew faster and stronger than the others, this one also proved to perform and yield best. It's the one you normally see when having an AK pic.
Cloned well after about 8-10 days.
Preflowers showed after about 3 weeks, I had 3 females and 1 male.

Flower:

In flower 3 different phenos showed:
1) Dark green, sometimes kinda weird leaves, budding kicked in late, buds stayed fluffy.
Sweet smell.
Rather poor yield, 1/2 oz, mostly due to being far away from the light.
2) The best. Light green, the great white AK buds, lots of sidebuds, sweet honey smell.
Towards the end it showed severe mg deficiency, after the other strains tho. I gotta admit the yellow leaves looked neat!
Very sticky stuff, and if you don't like trimming you'll love this strain, some small leaves, but nothing really.
Yield was good, about 2oz.
3) Stayed small, so did the buds, but they were just covered in a layer of resin, just incredible. The buds were not rather fluffy tho, didn't yield much but good trim and about 1/2 oz of great weed.

Smoke:

The finished product is extremly sticky, smelling sweet, but herbal sweet, more interesting than just sweet. I've heard many saying normally it's cherry, but with all the phenos I had I got this smell that I can't define with words, very pleasant, with a slight hint of cherry. Pheno 1 has an earthy smell.
The high is very good, rushing and strong, coming on fast. Mostly heady, meaning your head feels like a detatched unit, kinda heavy. At the same time you just can't get a smile off your face. I don't find thinking to be a problem after consumption.
A joint burns smooth, smells sweet, the smoke is heavy and kind of sweet, too.
I don't recommend this weed for bong smokers! I can smoke pretty much everything in a bong, but a good hit from AK48, which goes in smooth, makes you explode when you exhale, it expands very much.

Opinion:

I think this was pretty much what I expected. Well, one pheno was, #1 wasn't worth the effort and #3 needs more light.
Overall certainly a strain that I will grow again (clone from #2).
The smoke is great, so is the growth of the plant. A bargain at 20?. money doesn't grow on trees... right.

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.

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.

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.
