Cannabis cultivators who are familiar with the AK-47 know about the qualities of this high-yielding and incredibly potent variety. Zambeza Seeds had the idea of enriching these genetics from Colombia with selected landraces from Afghanistan, Mexico, and Thailand. Green AK XL turned out to be clearly sativa-dominant in its effects but is rather easy to manage.
The flowering time of this strain is approximately 55 days. This period of time is enough to produce yields of up to 600-750g/m² when Green AK XL is grown indoors. The fact that this strain usually doesn’t exceed indoor heights of 80-110cm, helps the grower to optimize for high yields. In general, one could always think about growing AK-47 genetics in a Screen of Green, or ScROG. However, this version of AK-47 is characterized by such a high homogeneity among phenotypes that it is also suitable for the Sea of Green method. It’s up to your personal preferences. Outdoor growers can expect medium-tall plants with heights between 140-180cm. Harvests can peak at 600-750g per plant, when outdoor conditions are ideal.
When taking a hit of some nicely cured bud, one immediately notices the spicy but pleasant taste. These aromas quickly evolve into being more complex, with a certain fruitiness, and hints of pine tree. It really is an experience to smoke Green AK XL for the first time, and most cannabis users will most likely also appreciate the high. It is typical Sativa-like, with clear, brightening, and uplifting effects. When larger quantities are being consumed or time passes by, the effect changes a little bit, leaning more towards a relaxed physical sensation. The THC content is high with 18%.
There are growers out there who think that one can’t really go wrong with a strain that has a decent amount of AK-47 genetics in it. They're right. This updated version of Zambeza Seeds offers a lot more in direct comparison to the original classic. The yields, vigour, homogeneity, flavour and high, are all profiting from the complex blend of landrace genetics from different parts of the world. Of course, AK-47 helps a lot with its penetrating power. Growers who admire clear uplifting sativa effects and megalomaniac yields: Your search is over! Green AK XL will do the job!

Strain FAQ
What distinguishes the AK-47 Strain in competitions?
AK-47 has certainly done well in competitions! It wins many Cannabis Cups globally and pleases both crowds and judges. These awards recognise its aroma, flavour, and reportedly perfect combination of energising and soothing benefits.
Why are short-flowering strains recommended for indoors?
Small and fast-growing, short-flowering strains are popular for indoor use, particularly if there is limited space available. With faster cycles and better space utilisation, these strains are said to boost indoor production.
How does the entourage effect affect these strains?
According to the entourage effect, cannabis ingredients like mild THC, cannabinoids, and terpenes act better together than alone. This combination may reportedly improve the effects of mid-range THC strains.
How have South American strains adapted to high altitude?
In the Andes, certain South American cannabis strains still thrive despite the height. The plant's evolved abilities includes growing in low-oxygen, colder environments.
Do environmental conditions effect cannabis spiciness?
Environmental conditions do reportedly affect cannabis' spicy terpenes. UV radiation is said to be able to boost terpene production, affecting the strain's spicy aroma and flavour.
