Growing AK-48 seeds (indoors and outdoors)

Easy to cultivate, forgiving of rookie errors, and great for beginners, this strain can reach its full potential with primary care.

The plant is relatively easy and quick to grow indoors and outdoors. The number 48 in the name AK-48 is not a coincidence. Number 48 draws attention due to the relatively short growth period of 48 days. In brief: with the proper cultivation, your plants are ready for harvest after a flowering period of just 48 days!

This strain is better suited for indoor cultivation as it requires a more controlled environment, although it can be grown outside. In addition, it prefers a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine.

The buds are densely covered with a thick layer of glittering THC crystals and have a loose structure.

Tip
As the plant grows and blooms, her smell can be pretty pungent, so make sure you use a good air filter if growing indoors! When growing outside, you can plant other highly scented plants such as lavender to mask the smell or a high screen of bamboo if discreetness is a priority.

Flowering time

AK-48 features a fast flowering time between 7-9 weeks after the vegetative phase, perfect for rapid growth. 

Plant height

Compared to other strains, the AK-48 strain seeds grow into medium-sized plants of about 50 cm to 70 cm indoors, great for filling up your grow space. Outdoors they grow slightly taller with heights between 130 cm and 170 cm.

AK-48 yield

When you grow AK-48 seeds indoors, you can yield up to 400 - 500 grams per m² in an indoor SOG setup, which is a moderate yield compared to other strains. Outdoors, you will be able to obtain yields up to 650 grams per plant.

Tip
Even though in theory 48 days is sufficient, we recommend letting the plant flower for at least one week longer to enhance potency and flavor.
