AK-48 Automatic
Also known as: AK-48 Auto, AK-48 Autoflower
Overview
AK-48 Automatic is an autoflowering hybrid cannabis strain developed by Nirvana Seeds through crossing their acclaimed AK-48 strain with ruderalis genetics. This strain represents the evolution of the popular AK-48 lineage, which itself derives from Colombian Gold, Thai, Mexican, and Afghani landrace genetics, now enhanced with autoflowering capabilities. The strain is created by crossing AK-48 with Ruderalis, resulting in approximately 40-50% ruderalis genetics with the remaining percentage divided fairly equally between indica and sativa.
The strain has gained recognition for its fast flowering cycle and beginner-friendly characteristics. AK-48 Automatic can be harvested 11-13 weeks after planting outdoors and 77-90 days indoors, making it ideal for growers seeking quick turnarounds. The plants typically reach around 100 cm (39 inches) in height, making them ideal for growers with limited room indoors. Plants produce hard buds with an exceptional and penetrating aroma, though the strain has a low aroma when flowering, making it an excellent choice for discreet cultivation.
