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.
Strain FAQ
How do genetic changes affect strains ending by the end of October?
Indica strains from short-summer regions are common. This genetic base helps them flower and mature quickly, making them finish by October.
How does the AK-47 Strain behave?
Tending to AK-47 is both art and science. For a sativa, it's a hardy breed that flowers quickly. Whether indoors or outdoors, this strain is said to need space to thrive, but it rewards with abundant resin-packed flowers.
What role do sour strains play in cannabis diversity?
Sour strains have pioneered cannabis flavour diversity. They've encouraged breeders to develop strains with complex flavours and smells, beyond the typical flavours.
What makes legal indoor growing systems water-efficient?
Hydroponics and aeroponics make legal indoor cannabis growth water-efficient. These systems recycle water and nutrients, reducing waste and use. This win-win is said to provide plants with critical nutrients while minimising environmental effects.
Do High-THC strains require specific legal growing conditions?
High-THC strains are said to require extra care to reach their high THC level potential. To maximise THC expression, lighting, temperature, and nutrition must reportedly be perfect. Legal growers use a variety of ingenious methods to meet these markers and let each plant shine!
