Kalashnikov Express
Also known as: Kalashnikov Express Fem
Kalashnikov Express Strain Overview
Kalashnikov Express is a cannabis strain developed by Kalashnikov Seeds from Russia, part of their innovative "Express" series. This strain was created by crossing the established Kalashnikov Original with a secret hybrid that accelerates flowering and bud development. The Express designation reflects the strain's ability to complete flowering approximately two weeks earlier than conventional counterparts, while maintaining high yields and potency. Unlike autoflowering strains, Express varieties retain photoperiod genetics but mature with remarkable speed through proprietary breeding techniques. The strain represents Kalashnikov Seeds' effort to showcase Russian cannabis breeding capabilities on the global market, utilizing genetics developed through collaboration with breeders from Saint Petersburg to Far East regions since 2002.
Kalashnikov Express exhibits a higher indica percentage compared to its predecessor, resulting in shorter, more compact plants with massive, dense buds. The plants typically reach 90-120cm in height and display characteristic indica morphology with broad leaves and sturdy structure. A distinctive feature is the strain's unique aromatic profile, which retains the organoleptic qualities of the original Kalashnikov while adding a notable sour strawberry scent that emerges during the final flowering weeks. The buds are described as massive and very indica-like, with excellent resin production making them suitable for hash and concentrate production.
