Basic Info
AK-47 is one of the most well-known cannabis strains worldwide. AK is well known for its long lasting cerebral effects and this sativa dominant hybrid is sure to keep you alert and engaged in both creative and social engagements. AK-47 is 65% sativa dominant with 18-22% THC and 1.5% CBD on average. Large juicy calyxes and dark green buds with yellow and blue-green leaves give AK a stunning appeal. The buds are popcorn shaped and dense with lots of crystals, fine red hairs and minimal leaves.
Common Uses
AK-47 is a popular sativa-dominant hybrid known for providing a long-lasting, euphoric, and cerebral high combined with light physical relaxation. It is commonly used for daytime productivity, creative projects, and social interaction, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also used for appetite stimulation and to alleviate mild chronic pain, headaches, and tension.
Flavor and Affect
AK 47 combines an earthy, woody, taste profile with a sweet and sour or skunky flavor on the inhale, and a spicy, peppery exhale. The high is fast acting; it is known as the one hit wonder! It is known to boost the mood, increase focus and creativity, and is known to give a good social buzz. As the high progresses, it transitions into a calm, relaxing, and comfortable physical state that often leaves users "mellow" rather than couch-locked.
Growing these genetics:
The AK-47 strain thrives in a variety of environments, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. This strain grows best in mild climates that average below 75 degrees. Buds will become fluffy rather than dense when temps are consistently above 75 degrees. Providing ample ventilation and good air circulation is crucial to prevent any issues related to humidity. For outdoor cultivation, AK-47 prefers a warm and sunny area, similar to the Mediterranean climate. It can handle some fluctuations in temperature but performs best in mild to warm conditions. Ensure that the plants receive plenty of direct sunlight, at least 6-8 hours per day, for optimal growth and bud development.
Our experience with these genetics:
- Our 18/6 light cycle keeps it veg indefinitely; Our genetics grow extremely fast, tall, and bushy.
- AK47 needs extra nutrients and does best with marine base nutrients, and we get higher than average resin using a terpene booster during flower stage like Terpinator.
- Our genetics are pheno hunted from seedbank seeds, we have tried to make our own feminized seeds but have not yet been successful.
- When growing AK47 indoors, maintaining a consistent temperature between 70-80°F is recommended.
- The relative humidity should be kept around 40-50% during the vegetative stage, and slightly lower during flowering to prevent mold and mildew.
- Our genetics have an average finish time of 9 weeks in soil, 8 weeks in hydro.
We regularly update these descriptions with genetic phenotype information and consistent unique details learned by both our experience and the experience of our fellow growers. Feel free to let us know your positive and negative experiences with this strain.
ENJOY!!!
