AK420

Origin and genetics

AK-420 is a contemporary strain designed to brighten the dullest of moments. This sativa dominant legend (70/30) has soaring THC levels of 20% to 26%. Consequently, novice consumers should approach it with caution. The CBD content is low at 0.1%, so the hybrid is mostly used as a recreational agent.

The strain is a direct descendant of some of the world's top strains like AK-47, Colombian Sativa, Mexico Sativa, Thai Sativa, and Afghani Indica. Some of its top terpenes are Pinene, Myrcene, and Limonene.

Flavor, aroma, and appearance

AK-420 has a pungent earthy, spicy, and sweet aroma that keeps the consumer anticipating a toke. A dominating pine taste hits the palate blended with skunky and spicy undertones during consumption. The strain has a strong sweet taste on the exhale.

The buds are long, tightly packed, and take on a grape-like shape. AK-420 is quite the aesthetic strain with blue-green leaves and bright orange pistols. A shiny layer of trichomes further accentuates its visual appeal.

Growing

This strain can be cultivated indoors or outdoors. Thanks to its Landrace genetics, AK-420 is highly resistant to common pests, diseases, and mold. The plants grow to a maximum height of 140cm indoors and 170cm outdoors. While most Sativa strains flower for 10-12weeks, this hybrid is ready for harvest within 8-9 weeks. The strain produces 350-500 grams/m² indoors and 250-300 grams per plant outdoors.

Effects

AK-420 is a one-hitter: just a puff, and you begin experiencing a tightness behind the eye sockets. The head-buzz provides a euphoria that perfectly blends with the subtle sedation. This hybrid is an ideal social choice as it will ease you up and make you more open to interactions. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in retrospective thoughts or a new dimension.

Medical benefits

Although AK-420 is sought for its recreational potential, it has numerous medical benefits. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, pain, and fatigue.
