AK-47 Autoflower
AK-47 Autoflower
Also known as: AK47 Auto, Auto AK-47, AK Auto
Overview
AK-47 hit the streets of Amsterdam in 1992. Created by Simon, founder of Serious Seeds, the strain combines all-star sativa landrace genetics from Colombia, Mexico, and Thailand with a robust Afghan indica. This strain is a cross between the legendary AK-47 and Ruderalis genetics, which gives it the autoflowering properties that make it easy to cultivate. This fast version of the legendary AK 47 comes from a cross between the original AK 47 and a Ruderalis, allowing this plant to flower automatically without relying on the light cycle. The autoflowering variant maintains the exceptional characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering greater convenience for growers.
AK-47 is a sativa-dominant hybrid that is made up of 65% sativa and 35% indica genetics. This plant features a robust and compact morphology, typical of indica-dominant strains. Its Christmas tree structure, with a large central branch and several satellite branches, is ideal for maximizing production. The buds are dense and hard, a vibrant light green often adorned with orange pistils and a layer of white resin that enhances its visual appeal. It is an easy to grow plant and with more than 27 awards, and counting, it is officially the most awarded cannabis strain on the market.

Growing Information
AK 47 Auto is a moderately easy plant to grow. Its autoflowering genetics mean it doesn't depend on the light cycle to flower, simplifying the process for beginners. Additionally, its natural robustness and resistance make it suitable for different levels of experience. After 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth, the AK-47 autoflower plant will start to flower automatically and be ready to reap after 7–9 weeks — a relatively short flowering period. This strain completes its full life cycle in 9–11 weeks from seed to harvest, making it a fast and efficient choice for growers. While the photoperiod variants can grow up to 5 feet tall, the autoflower type won't exceed 4 feet, so space will never be an issue. This strain thrives in warm climates with plenty of sunlight. Ideally, the temperature should be kept between 68°F and 81°F during the day, with a slight decrease at night. Indoors, it's essential to maintain good ventilation and use a high-quality LED lighting system to maximize yield. Optimum humidity levels fall between 65–70% during vegetative growth and 40–45% when flowering.
