According to legend, this strain grew through Alaskan snow to flourish in its 5 month grow period. The difficulty to grow Alaskan Thunder Fuck is generally considered Moderate. For growers looking to cultivate indoors, you can expect 8 to 9 weeks, growing to a height of over 30in with a yield of 16oz/ m2. Outdoors, Alaskan Thunder Fuck should harvest around October with a height of < 30in yielding 32oz/ plant.

Alaskan Thunder Fuck can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. For indoor growing, it requires approximately 9 to 10 weeks of flowering time and offers high yields in return. Outdoor cultivation demands a warm, semi-humid climate with consistent sunlight during the day, and the plants are usually ready for harvest in mid-October. However, outdoor growers should be prepared for its pungent aroma and consider using odor control measures.

Alaskan Thunderfuck's genetic history is complex and somewhat mysterious. It is believed to have originated in Alaska's Matanuska Valley, resulting from a cross between an unnamed Northern California strain and an obscure Russian ruderalis. This hybrid was then crossed with an Afghani indica landrace to create the potent and widely-known ATF strain.

There is also a lot of questioning whether ATF is really the same as Matanuska Thunder Fuck - a strain that was once the most expensive strains in Alaska in the 70's but now would not be commercially viable due to its low yield per plant. Most likely ATF's you find will be MTF with Afghani crosses or Hindu Kush types.
