Critical AK Auto
Also known as: Critical x AK47 Auto, Critical AK Autoflower
Overview
Critical AK Auto is a third-generation autoflowering hybrid strain developed by Expert Seeds and other European seed banks. This potent strain is the result of crossing Critical Mass with AK-47, enhanced with ruderalis genetics to create a high-performing automatic variety. The strain inherits its rich genetic lineage from Skunk #1 and Afghan through Critical Mass, combined with the exotic influences of Colombian Gold, Mexican, and Thai genetics found in AK-47.
Critical AK Auto produces robust yields and fast-growing plants that can reach 70-100cm in height. The strain is characterized by dense, resin-rich buds that give off the potent aroma of Afghan hashish with fresh, fruity notes. Plants develop a large central cola with numerous lateral branches covered in resinous trichomes. The buds are rock-hard, soaked in resin, and often have a crystalline sheen due to the abundance of trichomes. The flowering time is remarkably short at 45-55 days, with total harvest time of approximately 80-90 days from seed. Indoor yields range from 450-550g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 60-80g per plant. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and is suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.
