curious about any info on heat resistance for this strain. One of my seedlings appears to be suffering from heat stress with temp around 81.

working on it now, but I've grown about 4 different strains under the same conditions with no problems. At this point I'm more concerned with identifying the problem so am asking if anyone has experienced heat issues

I just started with Nirvanas AK 48 about 2 weeks ago. I grow hydro and I had a pot open up, due to 1 seed not sprouting, so I put in one of the fresh new AK48 seeds I had just gotten the day before. It's 4" tall now, but it looks way over nuted and doesn't have much of a root base. Everyone posted here they are easy to grow but the others look much heathier..After reading all the posts of how great this strain is, I hope it makes it. I wanna taste.

my troubled seedling died but I have since started a few more that are doing nicely. After that first one its been a pretty easy grow although I had one hermie out on me. Stronger smelling than I expected. Looking forward to harvest, lots of trichs all over
 
i just wanna know the price for AK-48 in American dollars... they say they ship to US but dont have it in American money... i am new and experimenting with seeds and then would like some of these. any help toward a price guide toward this stuff from Nirvana would help unless others have a different recommendation.

I'm still waiting to hear wether or not to top this strain or not? better to top AK48 or not? I would think not since it's short but a definite would be nice and someone who knows from experience + rep for anyone who can answer.

i am also interested in info about topping this strain. I have 4 Nirvana AK48's that are 3 weeks old as well as 6 other plants of 3 different strains (2 of each.) Out of the 4 strains, the AK48's are growing the fastest and look the healthiest! I am about ready to top some though and wondering which ones to top or not to top... I'm not even sure if I want to top any of them. I want to hear more about the AK48...

I'm growing Ak48. They've been vegging for 2 months and have 2 more weeks before I flip them. I topped all 10 of them and they topped well, preflowers showed 2 males. They are about 24-26 inches tall, nice growth, I hope to yield high.

It seems that everyone is talking about how they would be indoors.
How would ak-48 be outdoors? what is the approxomate height and how when would you be able to harvest (northern hemisphere)

got mine today along with 2 AK48 males. gonna make some seeds.

one thing i noticed though, alot of you must have very limited grow space cause it always looks like in most of the plant pix i see on here, the plants flowering always look pretty small to me. i veg my plants about 3x bigger than most of the ones ive seen budding with short times to go! i recently did the smallest flowering ive ever done, and the plants finished at 6ft.

I too just ordered the AK48 strain from over at Nirvana. Never grown the AK strain.. but there's a first for everything. Plus, everything I've read about AK48 has been good. The strain puts out hardy dense buds.. with a special taste and smell. Can't wait until I get my beans!

I only order feminized seeds.. as to lower the chances of having males. I want buds.. not seeds. ;) Now if I were wanting to breed my own strain.. sure I could use a male or two.. but right now I'm only interested in producing buds for my personal enjoyment. :D

I have my last Nirvana 'ice' lady going now.. was my last seed from the feminized 5pack I ordered from them. She's doing great too.. I figure about the time my AK beans get here.. it should be time to start sexing/flowering my last 'ice' plant.

Anyhow.. good luck to all of you's!

peace.

What are the genetics of AK48? the genetics are left blank at Attitude.

I'm another one looking for seeds to buy once and then grow bunches of seeds for future growing. The info has been confusing though on this plant. The high is usually described as having much of the sativa effect but most on here say they get stoned. Is this plant brand new? Seems everybody is growing it but most haven't smoked it. This plant is very cheap from Attitude though ($28 for ten seeds regular.) so I will give it a try.

Indica 65 / Sativa 35
Origins - Ice (f) x Jock Horror (m)
Flowering - 49-63 days
Harvest - Late October

Since the mid 1990's "AK" strains have been increasingly popular. The Nirvana AK-48 is a strong early finishing version. Its Ice mother has ancestors of Afghani, Skunk, Northern Lights and Shiva stock. An intense selection process drawing from thousands of plants was used to find this special mother. Ice flowers are richly covered in trichomes and have a dense consistency. She has a high flower-to-leaf ratio, with buds forming along her main branches. The father is Jock Horror, a three-way hybrid that combines genetics from Northern Lights, Skunk, and Haze. The Jock Horror is a heavy resin producer and an early finisher with a unique fresh flavor and a potent upbeat buzz.

From these parents, the AK-48 has retained a fast finish, producing hard buds that have an exceptional and penetrating aroma. Although she is a mix if indica and sativa with a slight indica dominance genetically, AK-48 retains key sativa qualities in her high. AK-48 finishes in as early as 7 weeks if conditions are perfect, but otherwise may take as long as 9 weeks to finish.

This variety is optimally grown indoors using a soil medium and organic fertilizers to get the best flavor, although her flavor is considered secondary to her punchy buzz and fast grow time. She is great for sea-of-green style gardens. Nirvana recommends planting 16 plants per square meter, then pruning each plant to only 6 branches and the top in order to optimize the size and bud consistency throughout the crop. AK-48 is a medium-sized plant that will double in height if flowering is induced at 20 inches. The leaves on this plant are small, somewhat thin, and delicate. Outdoors, it is particularly suitable for climates such as Spain, where it finishes in October. Overall, this plant is hardy yet manageable, bouncing back well from minor stresses. For this reason, it is a good choice for a beginner who likes a buzz with a slow onset and a strong kick once it takes effect.


found the answer!!
