Seb's take
A four-way cross of Colombian Gold, Thai, Mexican and Afghani genetics, and a lineage that's been a fixture since the nineties. Sweet, floral citrus on the nose; the high is euphoric and energetic, happy enough that newer smokers ought to approach as you would a staircase in the dark. Easy to grow, and therapeutic for those after sleep.
Where it comes from
A four-way cross of Colombian Gold, Thai, Mexican and Afghani genetics, from Nirvana Seeds — a lineage that has been a fixture since the nineties. The Colombian Gold, Thai and Mexican bring the sativa brightness; the Afghani grounds it. The name marks her out from her close relations in the AK family, and the pedigree explains her staying power. A classic drawn from classics.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and floral, with a citrus lift — a brighter, more approachable nose than the pungent AK-47 it sits alongside. The sativa-heavy parentage shows in that fresh, fruity character. Clean and inviting rather than loud.
The high
Happy, euphoric and energetic — a bright, mood-lifting effect that keeps the body moving rather than still. It carries real strength behind the brightness, enough that newer smokers ought to approach as they would a staircase in the dark. A lively, sociable experience, better suited to the day than the end of it.
Growing it
An easy plant, taking the best of its parents including a forgiving temperament. Flowering runs 49 to 63 days. Yields land at 400 to 500 g/m², solid and dependable. THC sits at 18 to 24 percent, with a medium CBD. No height figure is recorded, though the sativa-leaning makeup suggests some vigour and stretch to manage. A rewarding grow for most any level, and a genuine classic to boot.
