The legendary sativa-dominant strain

One of the most well-known sativa-dominant cannabis strains is Alaskan Thunder Fuck, or ATF for short. Its genetics are extremely protected because of how rare it is. In all likelihood, you won’t see this weed again in your life. Here’s a quick rundown of what we know so far:

Thunder Fuck in Alaska: A Chronology
The Matanuska Valley in Alaska is where the ATF was first discovered. One popular theory suggests that it was originally a cross between a Russian ruderalis and a Northern California sativa.

In the 1970s, researchers sought to develop a strain that would boost their mood. This led to a second round of crossing with Afghani stock. And so it was that, in the icy conditions of the Last Frontier, the Alaskan Thunder Fuck was conceived.

Almost immediately, it became known by two other names… Both the Matanuska Tundra and the Matanuska Thunder Fuck strains can trace their origins back to Alaska’s Matanuska Valley.

Since it stimulates a healthy appetite, this is a great strain for dealing with eating disorders. Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer may use this strain to alleviate their nausea and stimulate their appetite.

Guidelines for Cultivating Alaskan Thunder What the hell with pot
Since ATF originated in Alaska, it can tolerate frost and can be successfully grown in the open. However, even in cooler climates, your plants will still require ample sunlight and high-quality plant food in order to thrive.

Grown either indoors or out, these cannabis plants present moderate challenges. This strain thrives best in temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but will grow in a wide range of conditions.

In order for these plants to thrive in colder climates, you must provide them with an abundance of nutrients. For robust outdoor vegetation, you’ll want to cultivate soils loaded with beneficial microbes and nitrogen.

Growing these cannabis plants in trenches, rather than in pots, is also recommended by specialists. In cold weather, trenches protect the roots of your plants from the ground. Using silica will speed up the maturation process and allow your buds to reach their full potential.

Flowering & Fruiting of ATF
If you’re growing Alaskan Thunderfuck from seed indoors, the flowering process will take about 8 to 9 weeks. These plants yield an average of 16 ounces of usable cannabis per square meter when harvested.

Outdoor ATF cultivation results in significantly larger harvests. The crystals and orange hairs on your blossoms will make for a striking display. On average, each outdoor marijuana plant can produce about 32 ounces of usable marijuana. Around the month of October is typically when harvests are completed.
