AK48 from Nirvana (Smoke Report)
- Thread starter Closet Funk
- Start date
I ran AK48 before. Very vigorous and productive plant. Ended up flowering 2 females in 1\2 pots under just a 150w hps and got 1.25 oz off one and 1 oz off the other. I did top both but vegged for about 4 weeks. Very frosty plants with good potency. Think I should get another pack when I order some Auroa Indica that I want also.
I think.most people forget or just dont realize that the dude running Nirvana used to have ties to Positronics and been in the cannaworld long before most. Ive read that description too about ice and jh. Ever think that might be the actual parents?
Remember too,,, this guy had access to the other strains that most companies had backnin the day before they were copywriting names. Nirvana used to call theirs ak47 as well as bubblegum and jack herer "before " shit got copywritten making the namechange occur.
Just food for thought..
I must say i gave alot of their genetics a try over the yrs and found them all PDG and really good examples. Ive had phenos of their NL where the buzz was 6 hrs long. After sampling several times it made me time it because it was so impressive.
Genetics,,, experience tilt ... who knows but it def slammed alot of stuff that was supposed to.be the new hotness up n coming shit!
Nirvana will cross skunk1 to some but not all. Dude knows secrets and was around before these forums "AND " he had access to ALOT of genetics before some of todays brand name breeders /pollenchuckers hit puberty lol
All i can say in my experience is i have Never been anything but happy with their heans.
ive had just about everything from a to z, expensive and not so expensive and i will never regret buying Nirvana.

I've been around since before Nirvana started, and there was a lot of commotion then because they were just repackaging other people's work. Ask Simon at Serious how he feels about the AK-48...
Definitely good genetics in Nirvana's offerings...but they were just the result of seed runs of what was available

I remember when Nirvana started in the 90's and they were posting online pics and stories, like Arjan's strainhunting, where they were traveling around and collecting genetics and large quantities of hash. He had his son and daughter helping in his shop in the Dam. I always had good results with his strains.
I ordered some Nirvana AK48 from Holland last July.
It never made it....interdicted, I guess?

Looks really good, Saratj1. Let us know if you get the Cherry pheno, and post pics, okay?
I did get a cherry ludens cough drop phenol with my Nirvana AK48 in my 2010 grow. It was great weed and held its' own against seeds costing 4 to 5 times as much. I was so impressed with it and the bubblelicious, that I just ordered maui waui, blackberry and another pack of AK48. Iwas not disappointed by their genetics.
Purple AK-47 phenos do exist:

Hollow, maybe you just got two very different phenos, but both AK?

No hint of cherry on my stuff after cure. Everyone says it has a crazy smell though. Appears almost silver'ish with awesome bag appeal. A little fluffier than I'd like though (under 1000w HPS) . Buzz is mild balanced slow onset long duration, not really powrful but decent. Taste is really good, would have probably tasted awesome in soil. Weird smell carries over to taste in a good way.

Just about finished trimming my second ak-48 plant and this is the best looking stuff I've done yet. Damn near some of the best I've seen but I'll have to wait till after the cure to really know.
It was unseasonably cold this year and a byproduct of that is some beautiful purple. Enjoy this plant has the same odd delicious funk as the last .

Ive had 1 seed of AK48 sittin in the stash box for 4 years.
ak48 is probably f2s of older serious stock, which is closer to the original stock than serious sell now from what I have heard.
