Americanna
Americanna
Overview
Americanna is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by AK Bean Brains, an Alaskan-based breeder known for preserving and stabilizing heirloom genetics. This strain is classified as mostly indica and can be cultivated indoors with a flowering time of approximately 77 days. The genetics consist of Waco crossed with Big Skunk/NL1, using original Seed Bank of Holland stock. AK Bean Brains is an old school Alaskan breeder who began growing in 1985 after collecting NL1 and Devil's Club Indica, establishing a reputation for working with authentic vintage genetics.
Americanna represents AK Bean Brains' focus on preservation breeding, maintaining the integrity of classic lineages while creating new combinations. The strain is noted for its distinctive aromatic profile, with users reporting loud mixtures of funky grapefruit sours that cure nicely into a rotten dumpster smell. The harvest timing significantly affects the strain's characteristics - earlier harvests at 10 weeks tend towards sativa-like effects, while the preferred 77-day harvest produces more narcotic and relaxing effects. This strain has been used in several breeding projects by AK Bean Brains, contributing to crosses with Super Skunk, Durban, and other classic varieties.

Growing Information
Americanna is an indoor strain with moderate cultivation difficulty. The flowering time ranges from 10-11 weeks (70-77 days), with harvest timing being crucial for desired effects. Earlier harvests at 10 weeks provide more energetic effects, while the recommended 77-day harvest yields the strain's characteristic narcotic and relaxing properties. The strain is available only as regular (non-feminized) seeds. Growers should expect typical indica growth patterns with manageable plant size suitable for indoor cultivation. The strain requires standard feeding and environmental conditions for optimal development.
