What is the AK-47 Automatic strain?
AK-47 Automatic is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
AK-47 Automatic is the autoflowering variant of the legendary AK-47 strain, originally bred in the Netherlands by Serious Seeds in 1992. The original AK-47 was created by combining genetics from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landrace strains. The autoflowering version was developed by crossing the original AK-47 with Cannabis ruderalis genetics, which allows the plant to flower automatically without relying on light cycle changes. The original AK-47 is one of the most awarded cannabis strains in history, having won more than 27 awards including multiple Cannabis Cup victories.
This sativa-dominant hybrid typically maintains a 65% sativa and 35% indica genetic composition. AK-47 Automatic plants grow to a compact height of 75-100 cm (approximately 30-40 inches), making them ideal for indoor cultivation and stealth grows. The buds are dense and resinous, featuring bright green coloration with orange pistils and a thick coating of white trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The strain is particularly valued by hash makers due to its exceptional resin production and thick, sticky layer of trichomes.
