Alaskan Thunder Fuck, usually shortened to ATF, is a classic strain from the Matanuska Valley in Alaska. The story goes that a Northern California sativa was crossed with a hardy Russian ruderalis to survive the short northern season, then crossed with Afghani genetics in the late 1970s.

Indica, sativa and what to expect
Strain names and types are a starting point, not a guarantee. Studies of real cannabis products have found that labels don’t reliably predict a product’s chemistry, and two batches with the same name can differ. Read the product label for THC, and see Does indica make you tired? for why.
