What are AK-47 autoflower cannabis seeds?

You can't help but fall in love with AK-47 autoflower seeds. This sensational cultivar blooms into an exemplary flower that you can plant and harvest any time of the year. You’ll almost always find AK-47 on most dispensaries’ top shelves. This feel-good bud is also popular in regions where farmers cultivate cannabis illegally.
Thanks to our AK-47 autoflowering feminized seeds, you can forget the hustle of switching from veg to flowering. There’s no need to mimic the seasons indoors or time them outdoors. Instead, harvest all year round when you’re ready and expect sticky, deliciously potent, sugar-coated buds in just 11–15 weeks, from seed to harvest.
The AK-47 autoflower plant booms outdoors because it develops incredibly well in harsh climates and has a high resistance to bugs, pests, and fungi. You can tend your AK-47 cultivar on your balcony, grow tent, or even in the forest, and she’ll still produce excellent results.
This weed can reach a height of 3–4 feet, making her easy to camouflage. Despite this low profile, the AK-47 strain’s pretty dense and produces large leaves. As a result, AK-47 autoflower seeds yield high-quality buds up to 17 ounces per meter square indoors and 24 ounces per plant outdoors.
AK-47 got the name because it packs a potent punch that’s overwhelming for beginners. Every cannabis consumer should try this old-school classic at least once. It’s won many awards, spanning multiple countries, thanks to its powerful high and superb growing characteristics. 
AK-47 is one of the most reputable strains, consistently delivering surging THC levels, ranging from 14–18%. The utmost THC percentage ever recorded for this strain stands at a whopping 29%, so you shouldn’t take it lightly. 
Ruderalis male pollen and female AK-47 gave rise to the AK-47 autoflower seeds, which switch to flower genetically rather than depending on light cycles. Before forging an autoflower, breeders must ensure the female parent herb that’s crossed with ruderalis is already stable. Few are better than AK-47, one of the most stabilized strains because it’s been around since the 70s.

What are the AK-47 autoflower effects?

AK-47 is so wildly potent that consumers and peddlers from the 90s used the term to refer to any potent cannabis. The effects of AK-47 autoflower buds are unlike its combative name. The effects start with a sense of euphoria and leave you happy for hours. Orange-red pistils that weave through the lime green nugs to look like camo gear, indicating how it’ll shield you from stress.
Auto AK-47 cannabis lets you enjoy a full range of relaxing and uplifting sensations due to it being a slightly sativa-dominant hybrid (65% sativa / 35% indica). This one-hit-wonder makes you upbeat, social, and energized, thanks to its sativa influence. It also leaves you relaxed and mellow, courtesy of the indica genetics. This weed decompresses the mind, body, and soul in ways that most sativa-dominant strains can't.
AK-47 autoflower weed is perfectly engineered for every occasion. The clear-headed high keeps you motivated for whichever mundane task you're carrying out. Your mind won’t get overworked to the point of paranoia. You may feel a disorienting mental buzz that’ll leave you couch-locked if you abuse the AK, though.
Be careful with this one if you’re not used to cannabis because it might leave you slightly anxious. Start out small and build up as necessary. The potency of auto AK-47 cannabis is a sheer joy to experienced users. You may also get the typical dry mouth and dry eyes — consequences that are easily rectified by consuming fluids during and after your session.

What does the AK-47 autoflower smell like?

Contrary to its name, AK-47 autoflower weed has a delicious taste and aroma. The round and squishy nugs emit a medley of earthy, woody, and floral aroma that starts off a bit sour. The incense intensifies when you break up the buds or grind them, giving off the same scent with a hint of sourness — kind of like shoe leather.
This eye candy cultivar will leave the mouth-watering when smoking it, as the sweet taste lingers on your tongue for a long time after extinguishing a joint. AK-47s’ smoke fills the air with a blend of woody, earthy, sweet, and light citrus tones.
Veterans will instantly recognize the nostalgic aroma from the AK-47 autoflower bud because its flavorful smoke awakens the senses. The old-school terpene profile leaves your whole room smelling like a lush forest.
Take heed that the sweet, fresh, and woody fragrance emanating from an auto AK-47 plant is so strong it can fill out a whole block. Consider installing carbon filters in your grow room to ward off nosey neighbors.

How to germinate AK-47 autoflower seeds

AK-47 autoflower seeds only need air, water, and heat to germinate. The best and easiest way to sprout any seed is by using the paper towel method, as demonstrated in our germination guide. Here’s what it entails:
- You’ll need paper towels, water, tweezers, cannabis seeds and two clean plates.
- Take two paper towels and soak them in tap water. The paper towels shouldn't sit in a puddle of water, just enough to saturate and moisten them properly.
- Lay one of the wet paper towels flat on one of the clean plates.
- Place your marijuana seeds about an inch apart on the towel.
- Lay the second wet paper towel on the cannabis seeds. Again, the paper towels shouldn't be drenched. Dry any puddles of water on the outer edges.
- Place the second plate on top of the first to form a dome-like shape enclosing the wet paper towels.
- Store your plates in a dark and warm place, such as your drawer. The optimum temperature for germination ranges between 70–90°F.
- Periodically check on your cannabis seeds, ensuring they’re moist and happy. Remember, they consume a lot of water, and you don't want your marijuana seeds to dry out. Use tap water to reset the paper towels.
- You should see the cannabis seeds pop and the white taproot come out in 1–5 days, indicating that you’ve successfully germinated your marijuana seeds.
- Plant your cannabis seeds into the soil with the tweezers. Ensure the tiny rootlet is facing down.
Use our paper towel method and, of course, get marijuana seeds from HMG — a trusted breeder, to increase your cannabis seeds germination rate significantly. We recommend the paper towel method as it ensures your germination guarantee stays intact.

AK-47 autoflower seeds grow guide

AK-47 autoflower is an easy-to-grow weed suitable for pro and beginner cultivators. This weed thrives in a wide range of climatic conditions, including temperate, polar, and mountainous regions.
It’s adapted well to cold but shines more in hot and dry regions. Optimum temperature ranges between 68–80°F. You can plant it indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse with very few problems. After 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth, the AK-47 autoflower plant will start to flower automatically and be ready to reap after 7–9 weeks — a relatively short flowering period.
While the photoperiod variants can grow up to 5 feet tall, the autoflower type won't exceed 4 feet, so space will never be an issue. If growing outdoors, you can harvest the AK-47 autoflower version throughout the year, unlike the photoperiod variant that’s harvested in the third or fourth week of October.
You don't want to stress these ladies too much because they switch to flower faster than photoperiod plants. Transplant shock can stun an autoflower, resulting in reduced sizes and yields. Plant auto AK-47 cannabis seeds directly into your final flowering pot, rather than starting them in a smaller container.
You should use a low-stress training method such as Sea of Green to spread out her branches so that each one gets as much light as possible. Prune it regularly rather than in a few sessions that can shock the herb.
The AK-47 autoflower plant requires lots of ventilation and lower humidity than many other strains because of its dense buds, making it susceptible to bud rot. Her heavy and succulent colas are unusual for sativa-dominant strains. 
Consequently, optimum humidity levels fall between 65–70% during vegetative growth and 40–45% when flowering. You can even go as low as 30–35% humidity if you keep the temperature around 70℉ while in flowering.

What are the AK-47 autoflower strain genetics?

Auto AK-47 is 35% indica / 65% sativa. Autos can be temperamental and unpredictable. You should get one with good genetics from a well-respected seed bank, like us. Breeders crossed an AK-47 female with ruderalis pollen to get AK-47 autoflower seeds. Ruderalis is an indica and sativa relative that flowers after just a few weeks regardless of light changes.
Indica and sativa are seasonal plants that grow in the spring and are ready to be harvested towards the end of fall. Fortunately, auto seeds take on the male's characteristics when it comes to flowering. Note that auto AK-47 buds are just as potent as their photoperiodic counterparts.
AK-47 is one of the most successful strains to hit the market, having been around since the 70s. It gained even more prominence in the nineties when an Amsterdam breeder developed it further to get a phenomenal phenotype for the plant.
Additionally, the AK-47 strain is a diverse mix of excellent sativa landrace strains in Afghani Indica, crossed with Mexican, Colombian, and Thai sativa. All these traits make the auto AK-47 a hardy and stable plant that thrives in multiple settings.
Here’s the AK-47 autoflower genetics:
- Colombian x Thai x Mexican x Afghani x Ruderalis = AK-47 autoflower
