Automatic AK
Also known as: AK-47 Automatic, Auto AK-47, AK Auto
Automatic AK Strain Overview
Automatic AK is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the classic AK-47 with a Ruderalis variety to create a photoperiod-independent plant. This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the desirable effects and flavors of established photoperiod strains with the convenience and resilience of autoflowering genetics. The result is a plant that maintains many characteristics of its AK-47 parent while offering the cultivation advantages of automatic flowering.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a classic cannabis structure. The flowers are often light green with orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. Automatic AK is known for its relatively short life cycle, typically completing its growth from seed to harvest in 8-10 weeks regardless of light schedule. This makes it particularly appealing to growers in regions with short growing seasons or those seeking multiple harvests per year.
Notable features include its balanced hybrid effects, robust growth characteristics, and the distinctive aroma profile inherited from its AK-47 lineage. The strain has gained popularity among both novice and experienced growers due to its forgiving nature and consistent performance. While not as potent as some photoperiod AK-47 phenotypes, Automatic AK offers reliable effects and respectable yields for an autoflowering variety.

Automatic AK Strain Growing Information
Automatic AK is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. The flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Expected yields are moderate: approximately 300-400 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing for better environmental control. Plant height is typically 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (direct sowing recommended), providing adequate nutrients during the vegetative stage, and ensuring proper drainage. The autoflowering nature means plants will flower automatically regardless of light schedule, making them ideal for continuous harvest setups.
