Also known as: AK-49 Autoflower, AK-49 Automatic
Overview
AK-49 Auto is an innovative autoflowering hybrid developed by Vision Seeds, created by crossing the potent AK-49 strain with Lowryder genetics to introduce ruderalis traits. This strain represents a significant achievement in modern cannabis breeding, combining the legendary potency of the AK family with the convenience of autoflowering characteristics. The genetic lineage traces back to the classic AK-47 foundation, which includes Colombian, Mexican, Thai (sativa heritage), and Afghani (indica heritage) landrace strains, resulting in a sativa-dominant hybrid with approximately 65% sativa and 35% indica genetics. Vision Seeds has maintained all the desired characteristics of the original AK-49 while making cultivation accessible to growers of all experience levels through the auto-flowering trait. The plants are compact and sturdy, typically reaching heights of 50-120 cm, making them suitable for discreet cultivation in various environments. AK-49 Auto produces dense, resinous buds covered in glistening trichomes with vibrant orange pistils against deep green to purple hues. The strain is renowned for its robust terpene profile, featuring dominant notes of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, which contribute to its complex aroma combining spicy, skunky, and citrus elements with undertones of sandalwood and wood.

Growing Information
AK-49 Auto is considered beginner-friendly with moderate growing difficulty. The strain has a total life cycle of 75-90 days from seed to harvest, with flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks (56-63 days). Plants typically reach heights of 50-120 cm, making them suitable for indoor, outdoor, greenhouse, and hydroponic cultivation. Indoor yields range from 150-400 g/m² while outdoor plants produce 30-50g per plant. The strain requires at least 10-liter pots for optimal root development and performs best with 18/6 or 20/4 light cycles indoors. Plants are naturally compact and resistant to common pests and diseases. Temperature should be maintained at 70-75°F during vegetation and 65-75°F during flowering, with humidity levels of 60-70% in veg and 40-50% during flower. The strain produces a strong, pungent odor requiring adequate ventilation. LST (Low Stress Training) and defoliation techniques work well to maximize yields.
