Alaskan Thunderf*ck
ALASKAN THUNDERF*CK STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
Genetics: Northern California Sativa and Afghani genetic lines, possibly containing Oaxacan Gold and/or Original Haze
Geographic Origin: Matanuska Valley of Alaska, strains originally brought from Northern California
Seed Company/Clone: Original is clone only, but there are seed versions offered by Sagarmatha, Reeferman, and in the past by Brothers Grimm
Description: An extremely powerful Sativa-dominant strain with an odd musky fruit-meets-chocolate taste and smell package, the ATF originated in Alaska in the 1970′s but retains its popularity to this day.
History
Story: Originally called “Matanuska Valley Thunder Fuck”, this strain became popular back in the mid 1970′s when High Times magazine did a story on the strain following the court decision that essentially legalized marijuana possession in Alaska. Shortening the name to the more friendly Matanuska Thunder Fuck, the strain eventually became known as Alaskan Thunderfuck by the non-native speakers who heard tale and traveled to Alaska to experience it for themselves. Originally a much more Sativa-dominant plant, it had more Afghani bred in for heartiness. The original clones went underground following DEA raids in the 1980′s, at times being protected by the Hell’s Angels.

Growing Information
Flowering Time: Normally in the 70 days area, but some can go over 100 days in certain conditions
Preferred Growing Medium: Flowers late and long outdoors, but normally speeds up when grown indoors. The structure has definite Afghani influences, but the flowers tend to be foxtailed with thick, ropey pistils that retain their thickness and prominence when dried. ATF will take rather strong feeding and produce well.
Patient Expectations
Scent: Musky fruit with a light sweetness
Flavor: Much like the smell, it has lightly sweet but musky fruit flavors and an interesting smooth chocolatey quality
Effects: Overwhelmingly potent at times for some users, the ATF packs a strong Sativa punch that uplifts the mood but often leaves the user with no ability to do anything other than hang on for the ride. Strong body relaxation and mood elevation combine with appetite stimulation and ocular relief to make ATF a particularly medicinal Sativa.

AK-47 STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
Genetics: Unnamed mix of Colombian, Mexican, Afghani, and Thai genetic lines
Geographic Origin: Colombia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Thailand (created in Amsterdam)
Seed Company/Clone: Serious Seeds
AK Cherry Lime
AK CHERRY LIME STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
Genetics: AK-47 is an unnamed mix of Colombian, Mexican, Afghani, and Thai genetic lines, while AK Cherry Lime is a special phenotype
Geographic Origin: Colombia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Thailand (created in Amsterdam)
Seed Company/Clone: Serious Seeds
Description: Slightly Sativa-dominant in terms of effect, Indica-dominant in terms of plant appearance, AK-47 is a true hybrid. The plant tends to have a large central main cola with minimal side-branching — it is a medium height plant that produces buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. It also boasts a fairly short flowering time for a Sativa-dominant plant, making it suitable for commercial or connoisseur purposes. The “Cherry” phenotype is the most prized one.
History
Story: Created by Serious Seeds’ main breeder, Simon, AK-47 comes from a mixed bag of genetic heritage and was basically an accidental discovery. Its name comes from its’ “one hit wonder” effects. The plant has been a long-time contest and cup winner, winning 8 competitions spread over 10+ years — a true legend of a strain with incredible staying power. The special “Cherry Lime” phenotype is known for its special taste and smell package.
Awards: 2nd prize for Best Sativa at the 1999 High Times Cannabis Cup, many others
Growing Information
Flowering Time: 53-63 days
Preferred Growing Medium: Grows extremely well in hydroponic systems but also works well in soil and greenhouse conditions. Serious Seeds recommends a 5-10 day veg period from clones for maximum yield and vigor.
Patient Expectations
Scent: Strong, sweet, and fruity — the odor can get out of control when the plants are growing, so carbon filters are highly recommended.
Flavor: Spice-heavy and a bit sweet, often tasting of sandalwood… the Cherry and Cherry-Lime phenotypes are known for matching the taste of their namesake fruits.
Effects: A balanced experience that changes according to harvest timing (late harvest produces more of an Indica-like, heavy experience), AK-47 is known for being very potent overall. The Sativa attributes keep it from being too heavy and narcotic, but there’s plenty of body effect and relaxation to go around. Appetite stimulation and muscle relaxation are the main medical properties in our experience.
