AK-48 Auto: Super Skunky Citrus

AK-48 Auto seeds grow into medium to tall plants with brightly colored buds and deep green leaves. While the leaves aren’t large, they are effective at attracting the sun’s powerful UV rays. The buds are small but potent and littered with purple and white pistils. The leaves and buds are equally covered in dusty resin. The trichomes on their plant add to the memorable aroma we discussed earlier. You can smell this plant long before you ever lay eyes on it. The harvested nuggets are small and dense, with a dank aroma seeping out. Once you break these nuggets apart, your immediate area will fill with skunky and earthy scents. Your fingers will become sticky if you break these nuggs up with your hands. AK-48 Auto has not won any major awards as of yet, but it has been written about online as a massively popular strain in the growing community. The strain grows faster than normal and produces rich THC buds perfect for smoking. You don’t have to be an expert cultivator to get this strain to harvest.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The AK-48 Auto strain grows best in bright sunlight, warm temperatures, ample humidity, and nutrient-rich soil. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors by first-time growers, as you don’t need a green thumb to bring this strain to harvest. If you are planning on growing indoors, you will need to replicate the natural conditions in which this plant grows. If you are growing outdoors, make sure you leave room for these plants to grow, as they can grow tall and bushy.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: AK-48 Auto marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 68-78 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. This strain requires 18 hours of light during the vegetative stage and does not require a change in light to induce the flowering stage of growth. It will change automatically.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 50-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40-50% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Getting the humidity levels correct will ensure that your plants don’t become moldy.
• Training Techniques: AK-48 Auto cannabis performs well with Low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques. These methods will help buds grow while increasing yields. Adjusting the canopy to allow light to reach every level of the plant is your best bet at harvesting THC-rich buds.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the AK-48 Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days. Outdoors, it should be harvest-ready sometime in October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 350 grams per plant. Given the ease of this grow and short flowering time, these yields are fantastic, especially if it is your first time growing marijuana.

Dominant Terpenes in AK-48 Auto: Citrus Flavor

The AK-48 Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while pinene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Earthy and herbal, contributing to the strain’s relaxing effects on the user. Also known as the “Mother of Terpenes”.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene adds flavor and aroma to cannabis plants.
• Caryophyllene: Peppery – Known for being spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is one of the most common terpenes found in marijuana.

Dominant Cannabinoids in AK-48 Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in AK-48 Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxing, uplifted, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the AK-48 Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 18%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying AK-48 Auto cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in AK-48 Auto are around 2%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the AK-48 Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
