AK-47

AK-47 is a classic mostly-sativa that’s famous for delivering a clear, uplifting high while remaining surprisingly easy to grow. With reported THC commonly between about 20–26%, its effect profile leans euphoric and creative with a gently relaxing finish — a combination that keeps it useful for social situations, artistic tasks, or mellow daytime use. The terpene mix of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene and limonene gives AK-47 spicy, piney and citrus notes layered over earthy/skunk undertones, and the smoke is often described as dense and aromatic. Genetically AK-47 traces back to a multi-continental blend (Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghan heritage, with ties to AK-74 lines), which helps explain its balance of sativa-driven mental stimulation and a sturdier, resinous structure. It’s a proven performer — a multiple Cup winner including High Times Cannabis Cup — and is praised for consistent quality and a relatively short flowering cycle. Expect indoor flowering around 8–9 weeks, average plant height, high yields, and a grow difficulty that’s commonly rated easy; carbon filtration and good airflow are recommended because the strain can become quite pungent during bloom.
