AK Fire is our own take on the very popular and cup-winning AK-47. Originally developed in the Netherlands in the 1990s using mostly sativa genetics, this resinous plant typically displays nice, compact colas that glisten with trichomes rich in THC. During flowering, this skunky hybrid can give off a pungent, sour yet earthy aroma, but its smoke tastes surprisingly sweet and floral.
A good choice for beginners, this is a high-yielding plant (up to 500 g/m2) despite its small stature, making it ideal for indoor conditions where height is a concern. Under artificial lighting, it has a short flowering period of 8-9 weeks and when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere, the plant usually finishes towards the end of October.
The stone is generally cerebral and tends to last quite long. The strain is recommended for daytime activities as it is known for its social and creative effects. AK Fire is also widely popular for its medicinal properties and can provide relief from an array of ailments, such as stress, depression and pain. A classic strain for the novice and connoisseur alike and an essential addition to your collection.
