Akauto
Also known as: AK Auto, AK-47 Autoflower
Akauto Strain Overview
Akauto is an autoflowering cannabis strain derived from the classic AK-47, one of the most famous and award-winning strains in cannabis history. The autoflowering version was developed by crossing AK-47 with ruderalis genetics, which introduces the autoflowering trait that allows the plant to flower based on age rather than light cycle changes. This adaptation makes Akauto particularly suitable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or for those seeking a simpler cultivation process without the need for precise light control.
The strain maintains many characteristics of its AK-47 parent, featuring dense, resinous buds with a complex aroma profile. The plants typically display a mix of sativa and indica traits in their growth structure, with moderate height and branching that makes them manageable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Akauto is known for its relatively short life cycle, typically completing from seed to harvest in 8-10 weeks, which is significantly faster than photoperiod versions of AK-47.
Notably, Akauto preserves the balanced effects that made AK-47 famous, offering a combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The autoflowering version has gained popularity among both novice and experienced growers due to its resilience, predictable flowering schedule, and consistent quality. While not as potent as some modern photoperiod hybrids, Akauto provides reliable performance and maintains the distinctive terpene profile that characterizes the AK-47 lineage.

Akauto Strain Growing Information
Akauto is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The autoflowering plants typically have a total life cycle of 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, with flowering beginning automatically around weeks 3-4. Plants remain relatively compact, usually reaching 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Yields are moderate, producing approximately 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with outdoor growing particularly successful in temperate climates. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent light and nutrients throughout the short life cycle. The plants are generally resistant to common molds and pests, making them suitable for less controlled environments.
