UK47
Also known as: UK47 Phenotype
UK47 Strain Overview
UK47 is a distinctive cannabis strain developed by Tempa Genetics through selective breeding of original AK-47 genetics from Serious Seeds' 1998 stock. The strain represents the culmination of four generations of careful breeding work aimed at stabilizing specific traits from the legendary AK-47 lineage. Created from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landrace genetics through the original AK-47, UK47 is classified as a sativa-dominant hybrid that exhibits notable indica characteristics in its growth pattern and effects.
The strain is characterized by extremely vigorous vegetative growth, dense bud formation typical of indica varieties despite its sativa dominance, and an exceptionally pungent aroma profile. UK47 demonstrates unique physical traits including thick pistils compared to other strains, double serration on the leaves, and a tendency toward 'taco leaf' when over-fertilized. The strain produces very high yields with massive buds and requires a 70-day flowering period under 12/12 light cycles. Its aroma is described as intensely skunky with earthy, peppery, woody notes, hints of ammonia and spice - so potent that carbon filtration is essential during cultivation.

UK47 Strain Growing Information
UK47 is considered moderately easy to grow with extremely vigorous vegetative growth and fast development. The strain flowers in approximately 70 days (10 weeks) under 12/12 lighting and exhibits a 2x stretch during flowering while maintaining a relatively short, manageable height. It produces very high yields with massive, dense buds despite being sativa-dominant. The strain shows good indica-like bud density and structure. UK47 can be grown both indoors and outdoors but requires excellent ventilation and carbon filtration due to its extremely strong odor. The strain is sensitive to over-fertilization, which can cause characteristic 'taco leaf' curling. It's suitable for both novice and experienced growers but requires proper odor management throughout the grow cycle.
