AK-47 Autoflowering
AK-47 Autoflowering
Also known as: Auto AK-47, AK47 Auto, Royal AK Auto, AK47 Autoflower
Overview
AK-47 Autoflowering is an innovative adaptation of the legendary AK-47 strain, created by crossing the original AK-47 with ruderalis genetics to enable automatic flowering without light cycle dependency. The original AK-47 was first developed in 1992 by Simon from Serious Seeds, Amsterdam, combining four landrace genetics from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani origins. This autoflowering version maintains the potency and characteristics of its parent while offering the convenience of faster growth cycles and easier cultivation.
The strain features a predominantly sativa-dominant hybrid profile (typically 60-65% sativa, 35-40% indica) with compact plant structure reaching 75-100cm in height. Plants display Christmas tree morphology with dense, resin-covered buds that exhibit vibrant light green coloration adorned with orange pistils and crystalline trichomes. The autoflowering characteristics allow for multiple harvests per year and simplified growing conditions, making it particularly suitable for beginner cultivators.
AK-47 Autoflowering has earned recognition for maintaining the award-winning qualities of its predecessor, which holds over 27 Cannabis Cup awards. The strain completes its full life cycle in 70-90 days from seed to harvest, with flowering occurring automatically after 3-5 weeks of vegetative growth regardless of light schedules.

Growing Information
AK-47 Autoflowering is considered moderately easy to grow, making it excellent for beginners. Indoor flowering time is 6-8 weeks with yields of 350-500g/m² (14-18 ounces per square yard). Outdoor plants can yield 60-250 grams per plant and reach heights of 75-150cm. The strain thrives in warm climates with temperatures between 68-81°F (20-27°C) and requires good ventilation due to dense bud structure. Plants are naturally resistant to pests and diseases but can be prone to mold if humidity isn't controlled (ideal humidity: 65-70% vegetative, 40-45% flowering). The autoflowering genetics mean no light schedule changes are needed, and the full seed-to-harvest cycle takes 70-90 days.
