AK Skunk
AK Skunk
Also known as: AK Skunk Auto, Skunk 47
Overview
AK Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Kalashnikov Seeds through a crossbreeding project that began in the early 2000s. The strain was created by crossing the legendary AK-47 with Skunk #1 genetics, with the project being finalized and stabilized by 2005. The strain was further reinforced with a small amount of Far Eastern Sativa genetics, resulting in a next generation hybrid with improved yield characteristics and enhanced overall qualities.
AK Skunk is classified as a balanced 50% Sativa / 50% Indica hybrid strain, maintaining the best characteristics of both parent lineages. The variety develops into a medium-sized plant characterized by a relatively short flowering period of 60 days and produces high yields. Thanks to its high THC content, AK Skunk is considered a strong variety of cannabis with long-lasting but clear effects. The strain demonstrates excellent resistance to humidity and fungal diseases, making it undemanding to grow and particularly suitable for beginners. The plant produces twisted knots of swollen calyxes covered in sticky trichomes, with pale jade green leaves and flowers complemented by thick orange pistils that retain their color well when dried.

Growing Information
AK Skunk has a flowering time of 50-60 days and grows to a height of 80-100cm indoors. Indoor yields range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 800-1400 grams per plant. The strain is resistant to humidity and fungal diseases, making it very undemanding and suitable for beginners. Carbon filters are recommended for indoor growing due to the specific smell the plants produce while flowering. Such statistics make AK Skunk a must-have for growers with limited outdoor room or restricted indoor space, particularly those seeking world-class cannabis that matures in just 60 days. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors with relative ease.
