AK-47Strain, Effects, Genetics, Grow Guide & Where to Buy
Few cultivars carry the cult following AK-47 has built across the US grow community , and the appeal is easy to explain. It is a balanced hybrid (48% indica / 52% sativa) testing at roughly 20% THC, with a flowering window of 8-10 weeks from seed as an autoflower. What follows is a complete reference: terpene-led effects, genetic background, indoor and outdoor grow guidance, and the fastest way to get AK-47 seeds shipped to your state.

AK-47Effects & Experience
AK-47 is best known for euphoric, creative, calm. The effects come on within the first 10 minutes and settle into a stable plateau that lasts 90 minutes to two hours at typical doses. Growers and users consistently note that the high stays true to its profile rather than drifting, what you feel in the first 20 minutes is what you have for the next 90.
Growing AK-47
Growing AK-47 fits guerrilla growers and balcony cultivators across all 50 states, since the plant ignores light cycle and finishes before fall rains arrive. AK-47 runs on an 18/6 light schedule from seed to harvest, autoflower genetics ignore photoperiod, so there is no flip and no light-cycle change. Indoor yields land around 450-550 g/m² under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce 500-700 g/plant. Expected plant height is 60-100 cm, with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: feed cal-mag from week 2 onward at 2-3 mL per gallon, most reverse-osmosis and soft tap water setups need it; and flush nutrients in the final 10-14 days for cleaner flavor; trichomes finish properly even on plain pH-adjusted water. The most common challenge growers report is training timing, top at the 4th node, not earlier and not later, for the best canopy distribution.
AK-47Lineage & Genetics
Lineage: Colombian x Mexican x Thai x Afghani. That parental cross is the reason AK-47 expresses the way it does, manageable height, balanced bud structure, and a flexible response to training. Our breeding line goes back to a verified mother, which is why phenotype consistency is one of the things customers mention most often in reviews.

What is the THC content of AK-47?+
AK-47 tests at approximately 20% THC when grown to its potential. Real-world numbers depend on grow conditions, harvest timing, and curing, well-grown phenotypes can land at the high end of that range, while poorly cured flower tests lower.
