About Albert Walker
Albert Walker is widely associated with the Pacific Northwest, where it became a staple of the Grateful Dead concert scene in the 1980s and 1990s. The strain’s original breeder and precise genetic lineage remain unverified. While some suggest a connection to Afghani Skunk due to its characteristic sour lemon and skunk aroma, this remains speculative. The strain shares its name with a Canadian criminal, Albert Johnson Walker, though there is no confirmed evidence linking the nomenclature of the plant to the individual.
Consumers typically report a potent lemon flavor profile upon consumption. The reported effects are generally characterized by an initial mood elevation that transitions into a state of relaxation. Some users also note an increase in appetite and a period of energy that eventually settles into a gentle sense of euphoria.
Plant characteristics
Albert Walker is a clone-only variety. The plant produces airy, cone-shaped buds characterized by amber-colored hairs and a coating of sandy trichomes. It typically reaches maturity after an eight-week flowering period, at which point it is capable of producing high yields.
