Growing

The breeders at Nirvana were able to create a solid autoflowering line by crossing AK-48 with Ruderalis. We wanted to enhance the flowering time to suit outdoor growers, and were able to do so by creating an autoflowering hybrid that can be harvested 11-13 weeks after planting.

This strain is an excellent choice for growers who want a discreet, medium-sized Cannabis plant that has a low aroma when flowering.

Indoor
She is a fast-growing variety that will grow with an open structure and medium-sized internodes. AK-48 Autoflower will produce plenty of side branches and growth shoots, making her a bushy but low profile cultivar.

Her final height will remain around 100 cm (39 inches), making her ideal for growers with limited room indoors. With training, it is possible to reduce the final height even further, if challenged with limited indoor space.

Outdoor
One of the most reliable plants that you can find outdoors as she is tough, resilient and thrives in hot or cold climates. She particularly loves hot weather and can take large amounts of organic or hydroponic feed. Her terpene profile is fruity and floral, so you don’t need to worry about her causing unwanted aromas. An excellent strain for growers who want a stealth and low profile cultivar that is not too aromatic as well.
