Product description
AK-47 feminized by Serious Seeds
With AK-47 feminized from Serious Seeds, you’ll bring a strain into your grow tent that has been considered a living legend since the early 1990s. It is easy to grow, reaches average height, and combines a pronounced effect with proven hybrid genetics and an impressive palmarès of international awards.
The AK-47 is an F1 hybrid with predominantly Sativa genetics and unites Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landraces. This careful selection and crossing led to a profile that combines classic sativa traits with structuring indica influences, creating a balanced sativa/indica character.
In growth, the strain shows robust vitality and remains compact to medium-sized. A vegetative phase of about 2.5 to 4 weeks is recommended before initiating flowering. The plants often develop a dominant central cola and a Christmas-tree-like structure. Characteristic is a high calyx/leaf ratio with dense, compact flower clusters coated in a clearly visible layer of resin crystals.
With a flowering time of about 8-9 weeks, AK-47 is particularly interesting for indoor projects. Outdoors, harvest time is typically from mid- to late October. As the strain does not require much attention, it is well suited to beginners but remains attractive to experienced growers due to its potential and stability.
In terms of yield, AK-47 is in the solid to high range: a yield potential of 350 to 600 g/m² indoors is possible under suitable conditions. The resin-rich buds with their abundance of Trichomes are also very well suited for producing resin and other extracts, and with proper care can deliver a rewarding total harvest.
The aroma features a spicy base note paired with a sweet citrus accent, typical for AK-47. The terpene-rich profile ensures an intense, recognizable taste that will be instantly familiar to experienced connoisseurs of this strain and has built a loyal fan base among growers over many years.
The effect is described as strong and long-lasting, with a mix of mental and physical relaxation that suits recreational and downtime phases well. The THC content is regarded as very high with a low CBD level; lab tests have measured values above 20% THC. AK-47 is often referred to as a "one-hit wonder" because even a few puffs can be very noticeable to many users – as always, individual experience can vary.
Its reputation as a classic is reflected in its trophies: AK-47 boasts more than 27 awards worldwide, including numerous High Times Cannabis Cups. Since 1994, the strain has collected prizes in categories such as indoor, outdoor, resin, hydro, sativa, indica, and hybrid. It also forms the foundation for famous crosses like White Russian, a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid made from AK-47 and White Widow.
