Oops. Looks like I missed a week there....ak is doing great..shes to the point where I wanna put her into a 1/2 gallon or gallon pot. Let her grow and wait for her to sex herself and then I can clone and flower some pure ak!
Pure AK is simply fun to grow. It's also easy to grow, flowers fast, produces great yields, contains THC amounts that rival the medical cannabis I get from the dispensary, and is very forgiving. I make plenty of mistakes and Pure AK still seems to thrive. In fact the more I neglect it (within reason) the better it seems to do.
So what's wrong with this strain? My only complaint is the odor. It's incredibly difficult to control. I'm using multiple cannister air filters and it's still rather obvious I'm growing weed for anyone who knows what the flower stage smells like. I am on my 4th grow so obviously I am living with the strong smell and accepting the trade-off.
If you want to grow on the DL, this is definitely not your best choice because of the odor. If that's not a concern for you, I would definitely add this to your list of strains to try. It's also a very fast way to replenish your stash - the yields are just fantastic especially if you top it, train it, and SCROG. If patience isn't a virtue of yours (I admit to lacking that myself sometimes) this is a great choice because in 3-4 months you can be enjoying the results. Faster if you don't veg as long (but I would veg at least 4 weeks - I go way longer because one plant in a big pot can fill a 2x4 grow tent easily).
