Dark Star x AK-49 strain

By crossing Dark Star with AK-49, Dutch seed company Vision Seeds has added an exceptional hybrid to its range. These feminised seeds produce beautiful plants that are an eye-catcher in any grow room with their slightly bluish leaves and flowers. The thick, milky layer of trichomes that covers all the buds is made all the more striking by the dark colour. But it's not just the looks that will put a smile on growers' faces - Dark Star x AK-49 can also produce a supernatural yield of up to 950 grams per plant. This makes it the perfect choice for Indica lovers looking for a high-yielding, easy-to-grow variety.

 

Dark Star is a pure Indica strain from Vision Seeds that has caused a stir in the cannabis scene with its pain-relieving effects. AK-49 is the more potent successor to Cannabis Cup winner AK-47, bred by Serious Seeds. The blend of these two popular cannabis strains results in a strongly Indica-dominant hybrid (90% Indica & 10% Sativa) with a solid THC content of 23% on average. As a result, even experienced users can look forward to a long-lasting effect characterised by a relaxing body stone combined with a cheerful state of mind. The close relationship with Dark Star ensures that after smoking, your muscles begin to relax and a sense of well-being spreads throughout your body. It's important to have done some strenuous work before smoking, because afterwards you can just sit back and enjoy the effects. This is a great strain for winding down on the couch or watching a movie with friends.

 

Although no terpene analysis is yet available for Dark Star x AK-49, we can fill this knowledge gap by looking at the parent strains. The dominant terpene in both is caryophyllene, which is known for its sweet and pungent flavour and is also found in cinnamon, for example. These flavours are accompanied by a refreshing citrus note from the terpene limonene and a woody, earthy taste with fruity-sweet undertones from myrcene. As a result, Dark Star x AK-49 Weed offers a complex flavour experience, with the woody and earthy notes dominating on the inhale, while a pleasant sweetness spreads across the tongue on the exhale.

 

Growing Dark Star x AK-49 is straightforward, making it ideal for growers with little or no experience. This strain is very undemanding and grows almost by itself. In some cases it may be necessary to stabilise some of the branches during flowering to support the heavy weight of the thick buds. What growers love about this strain is that despite its short flowering time of only 8 to 9 weeks, it promises to give an absolute XXL yield. Under optimal conditions, indoor growers can expect an impressive yield of 800 gr/m². The growth of these plants is quite compact and tends to be wider rather than taller, as expected from the strong Indica dominance. Accordingly, plants from the feminised seeds of Dark Star x AK-49 will rarely grow taller than 110cm when grown indoors. If you have a discreet spot with plenty of sunlight, you can grow your Dark Star x AK-49 seeds outdoors. You can look forward to broad, bushy plants that can grow up to 180cm tall and produce an incredible yield of up to 950 grams per plant.
