AK47 F3
Also known as: AK-47 F3, AK 47 F3
Overview
AK47 F3 is a specialized third-generation filial strain developed by Katsu Seeds from original 1990s Serious Seeds AK-47 genetics through JoeyWeed F2 stock. This strain represents a refined version of the legendary AK-47 lineage, which originally combined Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghan landrace genetics in a complex breeding project that began in the 1970s and was perfected by Serious Seeds in 1992. The F3 designation indicates this is a third-generation stabilization of the original genetics, offering more consistent phenotypic expression while maintaining the award-winning characteristics that made AK-47 one of the most decorated cannabis strains in history. AK47 F3 exhibits the classic sativa-dominant hybrid structure with dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes, featuring the distinctive spicy, floral, and cherry aromatics with old-school sandalwood undertones that made the original famous. The strain produces large, 'Jurassic' leaves with thick stalks and generates massive, frosty colas that justify its reputation as a high-yielding, potent cultivar aptly named for its devastating effects.

Growing Information
AK47 F3 is considered moderate difficulty for cultivation, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 63-70 days (9-10 weeks) and produces moderate to high yields. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation is preferred for better environmental control. The plant reaches medium height and requires adequate spacing for proper airflow to prevent mold issues, as it can be susceptible to bud rot due to its dense, resinous buds. Climate preference is for mild, dry conditions between 68-80°F (20-27°C). The strain responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green) training techniques. Due to its intensely aromatic nature, proper ventilation and odor control are essential. Indoor yields range from 350-500g/m², while outdoor plants can produce substantial harvests when grown in optimal conditions.
