Genetics & Lineage
Cherry AK is a selected phenotype of AK-47, the storied four-landrace hybrid built from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani lines. This cut was prized and kept for the cherry note that most AK plants only hint at, turning a spice-and-skunk classic into something closer to fruit candy.
About UpNorth
UpNorth keeps a shelf of time-tested cultivars grown indoors and finished by hand: hand-trimmed, hand-packed whole nugs in every jar, no shake and no shortcuts.
Flavor & Aroma
Sweet cherry candy and tart berry out front, with subtle earthy spice, a light skunk undertone, and a sandalwood finish. Myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene lead the reported terpene profile, which tracks the fruit-then-spice arc of the smoke.
Effects
Onset in 5-10 minutes as a fast, clear-headed cerebral lift that stirs conversation and creativity. The 30-45 minute peak keeps a light, comfortable warmth in the body without sedation, then tapers cleanly over 2-3 hours.
Best For
- Searching for cherry strains or AK-47 in San Francisco
- Daytime productivity with a social edge
- A morning walk out to the Bison Paddock while the park is still quiet
- Creative sessions that need momentum, not weight
Cultivation
Indoor-grown and hand-finished; UpNorth packs only whole nugs, so the jar looks like the menu photo.
Dosing
A standard bowl or half a joint; the clear-headed profile makes it a forgiving daytime smoke.
