This easy to grow plant is our most popular, because of her outstanding quality. AK-47 has been often copied or used by other seed companies for crosses. This plant is of medium height and produces very good yields quite quickly. Extremely STRONG odour and smoke. The name was given not out of any idea of violence, but more in association with the ‘one hit wonder’ that the smoke is. After its introduction visitors to coffeeshops in Amsterdam regularly passed out after a hit of the AK-47. Quality without compromise makes. For a mostly sativa cross these plants have a short flowering period, producing compact buds with few leaves that gleam with a coat of resin crystals. Winning 22 awards(!!!) in Cannabis competitions proves it is a favourite to grow as well as to smoke. She delivers a very strong, long lasting and pleasant High. In 1999 at the Cannabis Cup an independent lab test proved AK-47 had the highest THC-percentage of all entries that year. Medicinal plant excellent for pain-relief. Last award won by AK-47: 2nd prize in category: 'Rosin' at the LIFT-Expo Cannabis Cup 2016 in Toronto, Canada..
Strain FAQ
How does the AK-47 Strain behave?
Tending to AK-47 is both art and science. For a sativa, it's a hardy breed that flowers quickly. Whether indoors or outdoors, this strain is said to need space to thrive, but it rewards with abundant resin-packed flowers.
Can the same woodsy strain smell different based on its environment?
Genetics, environmental conditions, and curing can all reportedly affect a cannabis strain's aroma, including woodsy notes. A strain grown in one environment may have subtle terpene differences from another.
Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?
Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.
Why has the Cannabis Cup moved from Amsterdam?
The Cannabis Cup began in Amsterdam in 1988 and has now expanded to the US, Canada, and Jamaica. This global extension has followed the larger cannabis markets as cannabis legalisation changes throughout the world.
Can late-October strains have various flavours?
Contrary to popular assumption, these fast-finishing strains have a wide range of terpene profiles, from earthy and piney to sweet and fruity, reportedly without sacrificing taste.
