AK-47 Auto
AK-47 Auto
Also known as: Auto AK-47, AK Auto, Autoflowering AK-47
Overview
AK-47 Auto is an autoflowering version of the legendary AK-47 strain, created by crossing the original AK-47 with Ruderalis genetics to produce automatic flowering properties. The original AK-47 was developed in 1992 by Simon of Serious Seeds in the Netherlands, combining landrace genetics from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghan varieties. This sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 65% sativa, 35% indica) has won over 27 cannabis awards and remains one of the most celebrated strains worldwide. The autoflowering version maintains the potency and characteristics of its legendary parent while offering faster, more convenient cultivation. The strain features compact, dense buds with vibrant green hues, fiery orange pistils, and a thick coating of crystalline trichomes that give it a distinctive frosty appearance. Despite its aggressive name, AK-47 Auto is known for delivering balanced, gentle effects that combine mental stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain produces a complex aroma profile featuring earthy, skunky base notes with sweet, fruity overtones reminiscent of blueberries, complemented by pine, diesel, and herbal undertones.

Growing Information
AK-47 Auto is considered beginner-friendly with moderate growing difficulty. The autoflowering genetics eliminate the need for light cycle changes, flowering automatically after 3-4 weeks from germination. Total seed-to-harvest time ranges from 70-85 days (10-12 weeks). Indoor plants typically reach 80-100cm in height and can yield 450-575g/m², while outdoor plants grow 100-150cm tall with yields of 60-650g per plant depending on conditions. The strain thrives in temperate climates with temperatures between 68-81°F (20-27°C) and requires good ventilation due to dense bud structure that can be susceptible to mold. Humidity should be maintained at 60-70% during vegetative stage and reduced to 40-50% during flowering. The strain shows good resistance to pests and diseases but requires careful humidity control. Strong odor production during flowering may necessitate carbon filtration for indoor grows.
