Alaskan Thunderfuck sets itself apart with chunky buds that are medium to large in size. And have a taper, spade-like appearance. The leaves, which are a pale shade of sea green, have a fluffy look. And feel and can be easily torn away from their central stems. Vibrant orange pistils wind their way through these piecey leaves. Finally, a dense blanket of trichomes covers the inner and outer surfaces. Of the flowers, making them sticky and particularly hard to break up without the help of a grinder.

When properly cure, Alaskan Thunderfuck has a primarily woodsy aroma, redolent of pine and cedar. There are also base notes of damp earth, along with an indefinable nutty. Chocolate-like scent. Only closer inspection, hints of lemon are present as well. When combust, Alaskan Thunderfuck burns with a funky, acrid smoke that some may find objectionable or harsh. On the exhale, this smoke leaves behind an astringent ammonia tang accent by a lingering sour lemon taste. Smokers should keep in mind that this can be a very pungent strain when burnt; those looking to maintain discretion should take any need precautions.

A consummate sativa, Alaskan Thunderfuck is a good option for the user who wants to maintain a clear head while going about their day. While it makes a great wake-and-bake strain, this is not a flower to be savor just before bed. As it’s liable to leave smokers wide-eye and wire. A small dose of this potent hybrid can go a long way, even for more experienced cannabis users.
