Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Alaska Thunderfuck grows best in cooler climates, due to its roots in the Alaskan wilderness. This strain is super friendly to outdoor grows and needs less maintenance in indoor grow setups. While the temperature requirements may seem high, know that these plants will survive if the temps dip below what is recommended. Being that these plants are taller than average and fairly narrow you shouldn’t need much space in an outdoor grow. Just make sure they have ample room to grow vertically rather than laterally. In colder climates, make sure the plants have plenty of sunlight and enough food to survive the chill. Switch to trench grows rather than a potted grow if the climate is going to be chillier, this will protect the roots and keep these plants healthy. When you come to harvest you should have beautiful green and amber buds that are short and stocky. The yield will be plentiful and the THC content will be high, best of both worlds.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Alaska Thunderfuck plants are versatile and durable because of their Alaskan origins. They will survive in colder temperatures as long as the weather is consistent. The ideal growing conditions are sunny and moderately dry. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees fahrenheit. If the temperature drops below that, check on the plants, but don’t stress, they should be fine.
• Moisture control: The ATF strain, during the seedling and early vegetative stages, prefers a humidity level of 60-70%. As the plants move into the flowering stage, the humidity should be lowered to around 40%-50% to prevent mold and mildew. Proper airflow and ventilation are key to maintaining these humidity levels.
• Training Techniques: Alaska Thunderfuck does really well with Low Stress training and pruning methods such as topping. These methods will give you more bang for your buck and help you to achieve those high yields that the strain is known for.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis.
