AK 48

Listed as an indica, AK 48 comes as flower in five sizes between 1 g and 28 g (1 oz). Its name echoes AK-47, but AllBud says the two have different parents, breeders and genetics, and it calls AK 48 an indica-dominant hybrid with a 65% indica, 35% sativa split.

Ice, Jock Horror and the AK-47 name

AllBud describes AK 48 as the offspring of Jock Horror and Ice, though it adds that some reports lean toward the sativa side. Leafly‘s genetics section names the same two parents and calls the strain a hybrid, showing THC at 17% and CBG at 1%. AllBud puts top THC at roughly 20% and CBD below 1%. For other indica picks, our guide to six classic indica strains runs from GDP to Bubba Kush.

A tropical smoothie with a skunky hint

AllBud describes the taste and smell as a sweet tropical blend of blueberry, mango and pineapple. Its taste tags are citrus, orange, pine, spicy and sweet; its smell tags are earthy, pine, pungent, skunky, spicy and sweet. One AllBud reviewer likens the taste to a light, fruity tropical smoothie with a skunky hint. On Leafly the flavour tags are citrus, flowery and sweet, and a grower-reviewer reports dense buds with a fruity smell and taste.

In Leafly’s terpene section the order is myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene, labelled herbal, pine and pepper.

Dense green buds with a silvery frost

AllBud describes buds in light and dark shades of green with pale brown hairs and a silvery frosting of trichomes. Leafly calls the strain known for dense buds, a fast flowering cycle and an excellent aroma.

Uplifted and happy on Leafly, relaxing on AllBud

Leafly says AK 48 typically gives uplifting and euphoric effects. Uplifted, happy and hungry are its top reviewer tags, and its effect gauge reads mostly energizing. AllBud’s users pick euphoria, giggly, happy, relaxing and sociable, and its write-up says the genes give a relaxing body buzz with clear-headed cerebral effects.

What a Leafly grower reports

One grower-reviewer on Leafly reports an indoor finish in 7 to 8 weeks, easy growing, narrow sativa-style leaves and little stretch in flower. Outdoors at 42 degrees north, the same reviewer saw flowering from late July and a harvest on October 1.
