AK-47 is one of the world’s top strains and a favorite for many. There is hardly a smoker or cannabis grower who doesn’t know about this legendary strain. The sativa-dominant AK-47 as we know now was created by Simon from Serious Seeds in 1992. Its origin goes back much further to the 70s where it probably begun as a cross between Thai and Afghani.
In 1999, AK-47 was re-crossed so it produced more uniform seeds.
Some may wonder where AK-47 got its name from. The strain is named after the famous Russian Kalashnikov rifle, but not so much because it would be a “violent” strain.

Story AK-47 cannabis strain
Created by Serious Seeds’ main breeder, Simon, AK-47 comes from a mixed bag of genetic heritage and was basically an accidental discovery. Its name comes from its’ “one hit wonder” effects.

The Sativa attributes keep it from being too heavy and narcotic, but there’s plenty of body effect and relaxation to go around. Appetite stimulation and muscle relaxation are the main medical properties in our experience.
HOW TO GROW AK-47
Its outstanding high and good yields make her also the favorite of many cannabis growers. Yet, her beauty and exceptionally aromatic buds come at a price.
It is one of the most intensively smelling and odourful plants to grow. Growers of the strain will need to take good care of odour control and want adequate air circulation. With her juicy and very resinous buds, she’s also more prone to mold as compared to some other strains.
Aside from that, she’s easy to grow. It will only reach a medium height so that it is suitable for many types of grows. It can grow well if grown in soil or hydroponically.
Although she will also grow outdoors, she prefers a milder climate. With temperatures above 25°C, AK-47 will still give the same yield of up to 500g/m², but her buds become less dense and somewhat fluffy. This is the reason why most growers like to grow her indoors in a controlled setting.
The flowering time of AK-47 is eight to nine weeks, which is pretty short for a sativa-dominant cannabis strain.
