What is the AK-48 strain?
AK-48 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
AK-48 was created by Nirvana Seeds, a cannabis company from the Netherlands, and was made by the cross between the strains Jock Horror and Ice. This indica-dominant hybrid strain offers a unique genetic profile that distinguishes it from the more famous AK-47. The name AK-48 is sourced from the fact that it can take just 48 days for this plant to bloom. While many sources reference a four-way lineage of Colombian Gold, Thai, Mexican, and Afghani genetics, authoritative breeding sources including Nirvana Seed Bank confirm AK-48 is actually Ice (f) x Jock Horror (m), making it genetically distinct from AK-47's four-way cross.
AK-48 is mostly Indica (65% Indica / 35% Sativa), producing dense buds, fast flowering cycle, and exceptional aroma. The strain features a tropical aroma of pineapple, mango, and blueberry and looks just as enticing with its burnt-orange pistils and crystal trichomes. AK-48 is a short and stout plant, meaning she will flower with a medium plant height of around 120cm. Her growth structure will be uniform with one main central cola with strong side branching, making AK-48 perfect for Sea of Green and SCROG. The strain has gained recognition for being perfect for beginner growers due to its ability to survive in any climate and its resistance to pests and mold.
