Don AK
Also known as: Don AK-47
Don AK Strain Overview
Don AK is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic AK-47 genetics. While its exact breeding history is not as extensively documented as some mainstream strains, it appears to be a cross between AK-47 and another undisclosed indica-dominant strain, likely selected for enhanced resin production and a more balanced effect profile. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to refine the legendary AK-47 while maintaining its cerebral qualities but adding more physical relaxation.
Visually, Don AK plants typically develop dense, conical buds with a generous coating of trichomes that give them a frosty, silver appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast against the darker foliage. The strain's name references both its AK-47 lineage and its 'don' status as a premium version of the classic.
Notable characteristics include its relatively fast flowering time compared to some other hybrid strains and its adaptability to various growing environments. While not as widely available as its parent strain, Don AK has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex aroma profile. The strain represents a bridge between classic sativa-dominant hybrids and more modern, carefully bred varieties with specific effect profiles.

Don AK Strain Growing Information
Don AK is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
