AFK
Also known as: Away From Keyboard
AFK Strain Overview
AFK, also known as Away From Keyboard, is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2020s from boutique breeders focusing on balanced effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic use. The strain was developed specifically for users seeking a moderate, manageable experience that allows for functional relaxation without overwhelming psychoactive intensity. Its name reflects its intended use—providing a gentle break from daily activities or screen time while maintaining enough mental clarity to return to tasks.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a silver-green appearance. The nugs often display deep purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the floral structures. AFK's foliage tends toward dark green with occasional blue undertones, creating visually striking plants that are popular among both growers and consumers for their aesthetic appeal.
Notable characteristics include its balanced genetic profile, which provides a harmonious blend of cerebral and physical effects. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis communities for its consistency and reliability, with many users appreciating its predictable effects profile. While not as historically significant as classic landrace strains, AFK represents the ongoing evolution of cannabis breeding toward targeted effect profiles and user-friendly experiences.

AFK Strain Growing Information
AFK is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach 120-160 cm indoors and 180-220 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering due to dense bud development.
