AK-48 Auto
Growing AK-48 Auto in New Zealand: a hybrid at 18% THC, energetic, calm. Flowering window and height are on the page where we hold them, blank where we do not.
What the seed lot did on the bench
Every lot is checked before it goes on the shelf, and the yield figures come from New Zealand growers who sent us a harvest weight against a batch code. This lot was read on 2026-09-22, from a tray sample of 400.
Outdoor figures come from a New Zealand season, so they run below what the same cultivar reaches somewhere with a longer, drier autumn. Treat them as what this plant does here. The full report for this lot sets out the method and the terpene panel.
About AK-48 Auto
Will AK-48 finish outdoors in New Zealand? In most of the country, yes. The outdoor window runs October to April, and an autoflower started in that window runs on age rather than daylight, which takes the guesswork out of timing entirely. Balanced genetics adapt to most of the country, so the honest answer depends on where you are. The regional notes below are the short version.
Questions New Zealand Growers Ask About AK-48
What medium suits it? Living soil rewards flavour, coco rewards control and speed. Neither is wrong. Choose the one you will actually maintain.
How much light? More in veg than growers expect, less in late flower than they think. Autoflowers do not need a light-cycle change, so 18 hours throughout is the simple default.
When is it ready? Trichome colour, not the calendar. The published window is 77-90 days indoors seed to harvest, which is a reasonable figure to plan around, but the plant decides.
Is it beginner-friendly? It is rated easy. That means it tolerates the mistakes everyone makes in their first season.
Where do I put it? Indoors it is predictable; the indoor-friendly genetics list covers what performs in a tent. Outdoors, see the regional notes above β or the autoflowering indica range if the season is your constraint.
How does it arrive? Plain, unbranded packaging with tracking β the detail is on the shipping page.
What AK-48 Is Like
Reported effects cluster around energetic, calm. At 18% THC that is a meaningful figure rather than a decorative one, and the sensible approach with anything in this range is to start lower than you think and wait longer than feels necessary.
The 51/49 balance shapes where it lands: even-handed, with the dominant direction shifting by dose more than by time of day. Tolerance moves this more than any other variable, which is why two people describe the same jar differently.
Prefer something gentler? The CBD-forward strains range trades peak potency for balance.
The Terpenes
Caryophyllene leads, limonene sits behind it, and myrcene runs underneath.
Aroma is not fixed at harvest β it develops. Fresh flower leads hard with caryophyllene; three or four weeks in sealed glass at a stable 16 to 18 degrees lets limonene and myrcene come forward as the sharper volatiles clear. Jars opened at week one and week five smell like different plants.
Who It Suits
Who does well with AK-48? Growers with limited headroom or no interest in managing timers. Apartment balconies. Anyone wanting more than one run in a season. First-timers included β the genetics are forgiving.
Still deciding? The indoor-friendly genetics list is the narrower place to start.

Where AK-48 Auto Comes From
We hold no documented parentage for this cultivar, so none is shown. A blank here is an admission rather than an oversight β we would rather leave it empty than publish a lineage we cannot stand behind.
We did not originate the cultivars in this catalogue and do not claim to have. What we do is select and stabilise the lines we sell, so that a pack grows out more uniformly than an unworked one β which matters more in New Zealand than in most places, because an outdoor grower here is working to a frost date rather than an open-ended season. The stabilisation programme sets out how that works and what it does not cover.
Every pack is covered by our germination promise: follow the method in the germination guide and seed that fails to open is replaced free within 30 days.
