AK 48 Strain Terpene Profile
AK 48 delivers a skunky, strong fragrance that seasoned smokers will find pleasing. The typical indica earthiness takes a backseat to orangey, citrus notes that remind the smoker of sweet tropical fruit. In some rare phenotypes of AK 48, you will even taste a delicious cherry flavor.
Medical Benefits AK 48 Strain
Ongoing research has suggested that high THC and low CBD strains may have potential benefits including reducing fatigue and relieving symptoms of Glaucoma.

How to Grow AK 48 Seeds
