What is the Akorn strain?
Akorn is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
Akorn (also known as Snowbud) is a cannabis strain developed by TH Seeds, originally brought from the Northwestern United States in 1995. The strain gained its name from growers who noted its hard finished structure with tight colas resembling 'baby arms,' while smokers dubbed it Snowbud due to its exceptional resin production and frosty appearance. Different sources describe it variably as an indica-dominant hybrid or evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa), though most agree on its predominantly indica characteristics. The strain exhibits typical indica morphology with short internodal spacing, a strong central cola, and wide dark green leaves, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation, particularly SCROG methods. Akorn produces dense, resinous buds with a notably potent aroma that requires proper ventilation and storage to contain its strong scent.
