I grew this AK48 from seed. 48 day flower, 6 week veg. 20 days under 250W hps then finished under 400W once I upgraded :-o. DWC grow (link is in my signature). Here are some photos of the harvest. It has been a good 2 weeks since I started curing and the final weight of 108.5 grams, very excited at this high yielding fast flowering strain. :clap:

smoke report please!
and btw @resinousflowers: I grew some White Russian this year and have to say i wasn't that impressed. in comparison to the other strains I had I'd rank it like 6/10. I believe the ak48 will def./ be in my next grow. +rep weedler for the thread and awesome results!

Wow, I'm waiting on AK 48 from Nirvana and if one plant gives that kind of weight, I'm set for a ridiculously long time.

I got some ak48 from Nirvana and outdoors it didn't do well. I'm going to grow the rest of my seeds out this fall and see whats up indoors.

Wheedler: did you notice if the plant was a heavy feeder? I wasnt able to feed addl nutrients to my ak due to crowding issues and the plant never really filled out. Any observations while growing her out?

Ya bro,
how did that plant get 108G's,
wet right?
No sir, I did not weigh it wet, the harvest was close to 3 weeks ago. Yes I have some drying left to be 100% cured / dried none of the buds are "wet" The 2 larger colas I expect to lose a little off of as it fully cures. If you want to call it 100 or just under 100g's after its 100% dry so be it, I have smoked about 5 joints off of it, see smoke report at bottom.

He clearly says dry....
Yes, see above description

Very finicky plant it did not like anything over 900PPM's (max flower) and 650 during Veg. she was drinking a good 1 ga/ day late into flower :D, Short & bushy this lady grew to over 34" my 2nd one is around 25" I guess I vegged longer the first go around also I had a 250W instead of a 400W from day 1 of flower. Great strain to do a SCROG with.

No, it has shrunk a lot see above description and responses. Note the photos to I started off with like 6 or 7 mason jars and am now down to 4 really I could put them in 3 but I am not mixing the popcorn size buds with the larger colas and mid size buds.



SMOKE REPORT:

I harvested slightly earlier for a more head high I did this because I have another AK48 that will be finishing in another 2 weeks. I wanted to compare the different highs. When harvested 20% clear, 40% cloudy, 40% amber. The next lady will be more 50/50 heavier on the amber and will spend 1 week longer in flower before flushing.

High is very nice, I have used the vaporizer and rolled up 5-6 joints of the AK48. She has a nice smoke a proper cure will bring out her flavors. She is very resinous.

Awesome looking plant dude.. I've got 4 Ak48's going right now! Kind of nice to see what I can expect!
For a second I thought you were the "Heisenberg" then realized your user names are spelled different. Good luck with your grow. I am chasing the flavors right now trying to find the best tasting strain. I have Jock Horror, AK48, Great White Shark & Pineapple Express to choose from shortly :D

Impressive harvest.

I grew AK48 about a year back and im pretty sure one of my phenos was the same as yours. All of my AK 48 plants yielded rock hard nugs that maintained good density. The smoke was some solid AK one hit stuff. I love AK for being one of those strains that just smacks you in the face right after you rip it. I gave my plants a two week flush and a three week cure ( taking a early sample every day or two) before I started smoking it daily and the taste did improve some in the cure but AK 48 was not one of the better tasting strains I have grew. Im curious if other people have grown tasty AK 48.

how is the taste of your bud so far?

So far I am not crazy about the taste, it works well in a vaporizer when I medicate but I am hopeful that the larger nugs will continue to improve in taste so I can truly enjoy the flavors. I think the GWS & PE will be better tasting.

Great job!

I got 1 AK-48 going right now, about 8" tall. I want to turn it into a mother and take clones. Hopefully soon.

Around 5" is when I normally top mine and get 4 main colas. Easy plant to clone some rooting compound and have had great success and high percentage of healthy clones.
