AK-47

AK-47, a sativa-dominant hybrid, has maintained its legendary status among cannabis strains for nearly three decades, captivating medical and recreational users alike with its exceptional qualities. While the precise genetics are often debated, it's believed to be a complex blend of Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani strains, showcasing the global heritage that contributes to its renowned effects and characteristics. The buds of AK-47 are as formidable as its name suggests, with dense, cone-shaped formations that speak to the strain's robust genetic lineage. A notable feature is the abundance of vibrant orange hairs that beautifully contrast with its light evergreen backdrop, making AK-47 a standout addition to any collection for its aesthetic appeal.

AK-47's aroma is an intricate blend of fresh soil and delicate flower petals, enriched by a subtle hint of bitterness that adds a fascinating depth to its profile. This complex aromatic bouquet has garnered AK-47 multiple Cannabis Cup awards, solidifying its status as a sensory delight. The flavor closely mirrors its aromatic promises, offering a taste experience that is both earthy and subtly floral, with just enough bitterness to intrigue the palate.

Consuming AK-47 produces an uplifting and joyous high, evoking the serenity of a Zen meditation with added clarity and positivity. It's celebrated for its unique ability to stimulate creativity, making it a preferred choice among artists and thinkers alike. The strain's body high is gentle yet pleasantly tingly, enhancing the overall sense of well-being.

However, AK-47's potency does come with a cautionary note regarding dry mouth, a common side effect that can be managed by keeping hydrated. Higher doses may lead to red eyes, lightheadedness, and occasionally, paranoia, advising users to consume with moderation, particularly those new to cannabis.

AK-47 is particularly well-suited to indoor cultivation, thriving in controlled environments and offering a short flowering time of 55-60 days. This quick turnaround is a significant advantage for growers seeking both efficiency and quality, making AK-47 a rewarding strain to cultivate.

Serious Seeds bred AK-47 from several mainstay landraces: South American, Thai, Afghani, and Mexican cultivars. The result is a plant that consistently churns out THC levels between 15-20% and CBD and CBN levels reaching as high as 1% each.
