AK47 Strains: Cannabis with AK47 Lineage
What Are AK47 Seeds?
AK47 seeds from Weed Seeds are hardy, dark colored, shiny pot seeds that are sure to germinate and burgeon into beautiful plants with pure genetics. These strains are perhaps most well known and loved for their fast flowering, easy growing nature. These plants produce great results with little skill or experience and the buds are powerful, producing a wonderful mellow stone that is appreciated by new and veteran tokers alike. The classic AK47 strain is an almost perfectly balanced hybrid cultivar that delivers a soaring cerebral buzz that is quickly met with a soothing body stone. The THC content sits at a more modest high of 20%, which is mind altering without being totally overwhelming. This is a superb choice for beginner tokers, so long as they keep within the one hit recommendation. The bud is known for its ability to instil a giggly stone that will likely lead to couchlock and culminate in sleep. Beyond the joyful and relaxing recreational stone, the terpenes and low CBD content hold the power to eradicate symptoms of a myriad of mental and physical health conditions that mar the lives of medical patients around the globe. Depending on the genetics, the aroma and flavors can include hints of pungent skunk and fuel, the sour and sweetness of various fruits or notes of floral and spice. As you browse through the catalog of marijuana options, you will see a detailed description that breaks down the specifics of the various strains. This can assist you in finding the perfect herb to suit your space, your preferences, and your needs.
Where Do AK47 Cannabis Seeds Come From?
Although the specifics of this lineage are unknown, the genetic roots are a mix of four powerful chronic landraces from Mexico, Columbia, Afghanistan and Thailand. Landraces are strains that have thrived in the natural world for a long period of time, and so this blend of four different powerful and resilient strains has made for an herb that is particularly hardy for growing at home in any setup. The partial roots in high mountain ranges has contributed an ability for this plant to grow in harsh climatic conditions and cooler temperatures, while the sativa leaning genes lead to generous internodal spacing and an ability to tolerate moisture with grace. This herb was first cultivated in the Netherlands and spread like wildfire across the region over the 90’s. It later made its way to the West Coast where it continued to gain popularity and win numerous awards for its growth patterns, effects, and abundant resin production. The original AK47 was so mighty and well-loved that innovative breeders continued to cross its awesome genetics with other strains to create herbs with more indica leaning effects or easier growth potential, such as autoflowering and feminized options. If you have a specific bouquet or flavor profile you prefer, you will likely find a strain with these exceptional genetics that will also meet that need. The options are vast, and the Weed Seeds catalog will hold all the possible selections. Our premium seeds are sure to germinate so you can cultivate your chosen strain with confidence and ease!

Growing AK47 Cannabis Plants
The growing traits of your cannabis plants will depend on their genetics. The classic AK47 has some wonderful growth patterns that will shine through, but the specifics will vary depending on what these hardy roots are blended with. Through the Weed Seeds site, you will see a list of traits and characteristics to assist you in skillfully selecting suitable plants and figuring out how to effectively nourish them into their full potential. In general, the AK47 strains will have a Christmas tree aesthetic. They are on the smaller to medium end of the height spectrum and tend to have bushy foliage that requires regular trimming and pruning to make space for the large colas. The plants can grow well indoors, in the garden or in a greenhouse, and certain techniques can be implemented to boost the health and yielding potential of your babies. You can find autoflowering varieties that do not rely on a perfectly cured light environment to flower and can opt for feminized seeds to eradicate the extra step of watching out for, and removing male plants. There are some options that are heavier on the sativa end of the spectrum as well which will better tolerate heat and moisture if you are growing in a more tropical climate. Whatever your needs, you will be able to find a strain that will suit your growing environment and experience to provide you with qualities of the award winning, powerful AK47 genetics. Growing at home is the optimal way to ensure you have one of these awesome strains on hand at all times!
Growing Flowers From AK47 Seeds Indoors
Choosing to grow indoors has some major advantages, whether it be because you want to keep your operation discreet or because that is the only space you have available. You have the ability to control all the various climatic conditions, including humidity levels, temperatures, light, nutrient delivery and airflow. You can provide the precise conditions to help any plant reach optimal health and productivity when you can monitor and adjust the climate so acutely. The classic AK47 strain, and many of its ancestors, prefer a temperature range of 64 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity levels between 40% and 50%. Full spectrum LED lights are the optimal illumination choice and a fan for air circulation is a must. These plants are particularly stinky, so installing a carbon filter is wise, especially if you want to keep the pungent scent from infiltrating the neighbor’s yard or home. Hydroponic systems, where you can control the nutrients delivered to your plants through water solutions, can assist in the abundant development of the flavorful, aromatic and healing terpenes, while implementing techniques like the Sea of Green can boost your yields. This method involves splaying the foliage of the upper limbs out horizontally to make open space for light to penetrate to the lower limbs. This enhances the development of healthy bud sites and ultimately increases the production of sticky flowers for harvest. The Weed Seeds shop provides growing tips for every strain, so you can figure out how to get the most from whatever strain you choose.
Growing Cannabis Flower Outdoors From AK47 Seed
Growing outdoors has some noteworthy perks as well. Many people love the idea of home growing because it gets them out under the warm sun from spring through fall. There are plants within the AK47 family that love the direct light and will thrive in the various weather systems without risking damage. Some have natural resilience against pests and moisture related issues, so you can grow comfortably with less effort. You can find strains that are optimal for a garden grow under the outdoor seed section of the Weed Seeds site. Choosing feminized options will make your life easier, as you do not need to watch for males and worry about them accidentally pollinating your plants and ruining their flowering potential. Photoperiod plants are easier outdoors, as they will thrive with the light of the changing seasons rather than needing to monitor and adjust your bulbs indoors. However, autoflowering plants are even more robust, so if you are new to the growing scene or do not trust mother nature to be kind and consistent in your area, then auto strains are a superb option as well. Most of the strains in this lineage stay small or medium in height so you can tuck them into your grow space without attracting too much attention. Though, the smell could alert people to your efforts, so try to keep them far from the neighbor’s fence. The four landraces that are crossed to create this strain have all survived outdoor growing for many years, so it is entirely reasonable to expect that this powerful genetic combination will thrive in your garden space, especially with a little TLC from your skilled hands.
Typical Aroma Of AK47 Cannabis Buds
As is true of many plant traits, there are several factors that contribute to their odor. The terpenes present in the glittery trichomes are responsible for the various scents that comprise the bouquet, and the list of terpenes will vary depending on the genetics. Certain scents are directly related to the effects you experience when you smoke a joint. For instance, citrus fruits tend to offer an uplifting stone. This link helps the grower know what to expect from his buds well before they are ready to harvest. The original AK47 strain has a sweet and subtle scent that blends fruits and florals. This delightful aroma is sure to intrigue those who catch a whiff, and the pleasant experience will undoubtedly invite a toke. Having said that, the crossing of this powerhouse with other strains can create a much more diverse range of smells to be detected by your nose. Some will have sour notes of citrus fruits, while others might hold the earthy aromas of damp soil or pine needles. Spicy herbs, bubble gum and cookie dough are known to make an appearance in some of the offspring as well. The aroma that you can expect to fill your grow space will be broken down in the strain write up on the Weed Seeds site so you can choose your favorites. It is common for the odor to be quite strong even while the buds are still on the plant. The delightful aroma will be equally powerful when the dried, cured buds are busted to be rolled.
What Yield Can You Get From AK47 Plants
The yielding potential of your strain will depend in part on its genetics, and in part on the methods used to bring them into optimal health and production. The AK47 strains will offer the best yields when you implement hydroponic systems and techniques like the Sea of Green. Hydroponic grow operations use running water to deliver nutrients to the plants, rather than leaving them to absorb food from the soil through their roots. Drip irrigation is a great option as it saves on the nutrient solution but still provides a constant flow of food. Deep water culture, where you submerge the roots and pump oxygen into the solution, is another superb choice as it offers your plants all the nutrients they could possibly use. The Sea of Green is a method where you grow several plants in the same garden plot and spread their canopy to allow light through the thick leaves into the bottom portion of the plant. This will increase bud sites and provide more nugs come harvest time. The Screen of Green is a similar method where the canopy is spread along a screen and it serves the same purpose. Basic trimming to keep the thick leaves in check will also help the plant focus its energy on these new buds. In general, these plants will produce between 350 and 500 grams per square meter inside, and the same per plant in the garden. These numbers will vary a bit depending on the unique genetics of the AK47 seeds you choose from Weed Seeds, and you can find the specifics listed in the strain information.
Are AK47 Buds High in THC?
The original AK47 that makes up part of the foundation for all of its descendents carries a THC content of fifteen to twenty percent. This is moderate compared to some of the newer strains on the market that hold as much as thirty five percent, but despite the more modest concentration of the psychoactive cannabinoid, this strain is known for being a one hit wonder. A single toke is enough for the fast-acting effects to take hold and offer a pleasant blend of indica and sativa qualities to the toker. THC is characteristically known for instilling a euphoria that is met with giggles. The recreational connoisseurs tend to be drawn to the higher levels, as the high is more intense, psychedelic and playful. The effects are not limited to simply being enjoyable though, THC also helps in pain management, mood disorders, sleep disturbances and eating issues. While many love the exceptionally potent levels, these mid-range THC percentages are more accessible for new tokers or those who are sensitive to the ingredient. A small dose is optimal for providing a blissful and healing stone, while overindulgence could have some adverse reactions. Generally, the discomforts are limited to a case of dry mouth and eyes which water will soothe, but overuse could instill anxiety, paranoia, headaches or nausea. Some strains within the AK47 family will have higher or lower THC content though, so make sure to look through the description of your preferred strain on the Weed Seeds site to get an idea of what to expect from your session.
Typical Effects of Smoking AK47
Again, the specifics of each strain will depend on the genetics that are cross bred into the classic AK47. The original is known for delivering an invigorating and energizing stone that settles into deep relaxation. It is common for the first signs of the stone to be upbeat and positive cerebral effects. It is not unusual to be chatty and full of giggles but, as the initial buzz settles, the creeping, tension relieving, tingling sensation will move from head to toe leaving you more than happy to lay on the couch. As the body relaxes and the mind settles, you can anticipate being swept off into a rejuvenating sleep. Generally, the effects are blissful without being overwhelming. You can also expect for a case of the munchies to come on part way through as well. This insatiable hunger will be squashed with snacks that you will want to prepare beforehand so all you need to do is reach into the fridge or to the coffee table to fulfil the need. This mix of effects have proven to be useful in managing symptoms experienced by various medical patients as well. Small doses will eradicate negative thoughts and feelings which can support folks who struggle with depression and anxiety. A medium dose will ease nausea and vomiting so you can eat and can also soothe movement disorders, while a larger dose can assuage pain, migraines, epilepsy, and insomnia. These far-reaching effects make this a popular choice for both recreational tokers and those in need of therapeutic relief.
Typical Flavors of AK47 Family Strains
The shiny layer of resin that adorns your flowers as they mature does more than add to the aesthetic appeal of your bagged bud. This layer holds a myriad of terpenes that vary depending on the genetics of your chosen strain. Each terpene has a unique flavor, and these qualities can be detected on the tongue when you inhale the smoke from your joint, pipe or bong. The true AK47 has a pungent flavor profile upon first inhale. Earth, skunk and spice overwhelm the palate, alerting the user to the herbs exceptional potency. Once the smoke is exhaled out of the lungs, the taste settles into sweet florals and herbs that rests on the tongue. The delightful experience is one of the favored traits of this strain, but the various hybrids developed with these partial genetics can bring a diverse range of other notes to the profile. Some will be more sweet and fruity, others will bring grass, wood and pine, and others still will deliver the confectionery quality of bubble gum and cookie dough. Regardless, your taste buds are sure to be delighted before you are hit with the well-balanced effects. There are certain techniques you can use, such as hydroponic nutrient delivery that will enhance the terpene profile. Other products, like oils and concentrates, strip these elements from the plant matter for a purer flavor experience as well. The stronger the terpenes, the more distinct and diverse the flavor, so use these tricks to boost the sensory experience of a session with your new AK47 buds grown from the premium seeds from Weed Seeds!
Baking and Making Edibles With AK47 Buds
Back in the day, eating cannabis was nearly unheard of. Now, dispensary shelves are stocked with countless edible options and these products are a huge contribution to the industry. It is no real surprise, as they are easy to take, are less harmful on the body than smoking, and will provide long lasting effects. You can find gummies and hard candies, baked goods like brownies and cookies and even drinks! There are some that have high CBD content or soaring THC levels that can be selected based on your needs. While there are plenty of readymade options available for purchase, you can also make your own at home using your home grown AK47 strain buds. It is not so complicated, and you can control the dose and flavor to suit your preferences. The first step is to decarboxylate the flower by baking it on low heat. This activates the THC without altering or limiting the benefits of the terpenes. From here, you want to cover the plant matter with vodka to create a tincture. Let it sit for a couple weeks before straining it out and then use the liquid as a base for your treats. If you prefer, you could make a pot butter and use it in baking recipes or to slather on fish or use in sauces. Another option is to extract the cannabis in a fatty oil, like coconut. Let it sit on low heat and portion the concoction into capsules for consumption! The exceptional seeds available at Weed Seeds are sure to grow into healthy plants that would be perfect as a base for your recipes.
Is It Worth It To Make AK47 Cannabis Oil?
Concentrates first started to gain momentum after their appearance in the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2010. There are many different products that fall into this category, including shatter, budder, live resin, and the translucent liquid that is cannabis oil. They are all made using extraction methods which strip the healing terpenes and cannabinoids from the plant matter. The result is a potent, condensed version of the marijuana plant that will deliver a purer flavor and more powerful effects. AK47 is a powerful plant that would be a great selection for making concentrates. Even though the THC content is milder, the combination with CBD and various terpenes create an herb with a wide array of benefits. Some of the offspring strains might produce more resin or have a more diverse terpene profile and be even better suited for this process. Check out the lengthy descriptions of each of your options provided through the Weed Seeds site to find the best strain for making oil if that is your preferred method of consumption. Oil is made using a solvent-based extraction technique. Isopropyl alcohol is used to dissolve the trichomes free of the plant and then, through evaporation, the alcohol remnants are removed, and a clear oil is left behind to use in vaporizing devices. If you want a potent product that will work to eradicate symptoms of health conditions without the cerebral impairment, you could select a CBD heavy strain. You can more discreetly consume your medicine without being too inebriated to manage your work or other routine commitments.
What To Expect When Smoking And Vaping AK47 Concentrates
The biggest difference between smoking a joint and smoking or vaping a cannabis concentrate is the purity of your experience. When you smoke cannabis flower, whether it be rolled in paper or stuffed into the bowl of a pipe, you risk inhaling ash and plant matter into your mouth and lungs. This experience can be quite harsh on the body and lead to unpleasant coughing fits. With concentrates, however, the terpenes and cannabinoids have been stripped from the raw material to create a smoother toking experience that is also more flavorful and incredibly powerful. You can expect the same range of effects from using the concentrated form of your chosen AK47 strain as you could from your flower. Typically, the high from this family of strains starts with an energized cerebral buzz that slowly settles into a blissful and relaxing body stone. The impacts on mental and physical health conditions will remain potent and long lasting. Because of the purity, these effects will potentially set in even faster too. As you shop the Weed Seeds catalogue, you can check the strain descriptions for the herbs with the highest and most diverse terpene contents, THC levels and CBD percentages to make sure the flower you are using for your concentrates will provide you with the best experience. Check the range of medical applications as well, so you know that your chosen strain will support your unique needs. The range will vary a bit depending on the genetic mix, but you can generally anticipate a nice mix of sativa and indica effects.
