What is the Alaska strain?
Alaska is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and earthy and fresh flavor profile.
Alaska, developed by Tikun Olam, is an Israeli strain comprised of 70% sativa genetics. It is the brainchild of Tikun Olam, a breeding operation based in cannabis hot spot Israel. Unfortunately, Tikun Olam has kept Alaska's genetic background a proprietary secret -- but there's no mystery to this bud's power to boost energy and improve mood. Alaska is among the first and most renowned strains. The name Alaska is chosen because of the freshness receives with every inhalation, creating an atmosphere of cool and clear breath. It is a dominant Sativa strain with a strong, long and relaxing effect. Alaska is marked by medium to large flowers that have an elongated shape. Rather than the "nuggets" typically associated with more indica-dominant varieties, these flowers are elongated in almost cylindrical shapes, like mini cypress trees. The soft leaves spiral loosely outward from their central stems and have a piecey, fluffy appearance. No one knows the genetics but its bred in israel and seed is not available. Tikun Olam has not made seeds of Alaska available for sale online. Instead, prospective growers must obtain clippings of mature plants from a trusted source in order to grow genetically identical "clones."

How do you grow Alaska?
Being Sativa-dominant, Alaska will probably have an indoor flowering time of 8 to 10 weeks. Hence, it will likely produce anywhere from 12 to 16 ounces per square meter under 1000 watts of grow light. Outdoor, Alaska likely thrives in a Mediterranean climate. Each plant will have a yield of up to 12 ounces.
