AK47 Strain

Going All Out with AK47

A sativa-dominant hybrid commonly referred to as AK, the AK-47 strain mixes Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani strain varieties. Despite its intense and violent name, AK-47 is known to be mellowing and soothing and its notes are said to be floral and sweet.  

AK47 Strain Effects

Ak-47 is 65% sativa and 35% indica, meaning it leans more towards sativa’s focusing and creative properties than indica’s couch-locking effects. That said, the strain does have relaxing properties that make it worthy of a chill night in with friends.

The strain’s long-lasting cerebral high will keep you mentally alert and engaged in creative and social activities. AK47 will leave you feeling uplifted, euphoric, and at complete peace. Because of its creative properties, many people like to smoke sativa while listening to music or partaking in activities with friends.

People who use AK47 often report feeling:

• Talkative
• Hungry
• Energetic
• Happy
• Uplifted
• Relaxed
• Creative

That said, the strain may also cause some undesirable side effects like dry mouth and dry eyes. Additionally, it may also cause users to feel paranoid, a little dizzy, and leave them with a minor headache.

AK47 Strain Benefits

While recreational users adore AK47 for its many effects, the strain is also popular among medical marijuana users. Many people take advantage of the strain’s relaxing effects to relieve stress and symptoms of anxiety. Insomniacs and people who have trouble sleeping note that a couple hits at bedtime create the right conditions for restful sleep. Other users seek AK47 to lessen chronic pains and aches.

People who suffer from mood disorders like bipolarity and depression use the strain to regulate their moods and relax. The strain is also used to increase appetite and decrease nausea and vomiting.

AK47 is a wonderful strain whose name is certainly deceptive. It isn’t intense and violent like its name suggests; instead, the strain is tremendously helpful in soothing a plethora of ailments, from stress and anxiety to pain and insomnia! As a matter of fact, AK47 has won 16 awards in both sativa and indica denominations, including 1st place in the hash category at the Barcelona High Life Cup in 2005 and 3rd best hybrid at the 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup.

AK47 Strain Flavor – The Smokin' Hot Genetics

AK47 plants are tall and wide. Their buds are dark yellow with hints of green and lots of fine red pistils as well as shiny trichomes. AK47 has a strong aroma with fruity, sweet, sour, and earthy notes as well as hints of citrus and wood. Its taste profile is described as spicy and earthy with floral hints.

The strain’s aroma and flavor profile, as well as its lengthy list of effects, are largely due to the terpenes it contains. Terpenes are present in every plant, not only cannabis. Lavender, for example, gets its soothing and relaxing properties from the terpenes in the plant. In cannabis, terpenes are responsible for the taste and smell of your bud, as well as the properties associated with different strains.

The main terpenes present in AK47 are:

• Beta Caryophyllene
• Limonene
• Linalool
• Beta Myrcene
• Alpha Humulene
• Alpha Pinene
• Terpinolene

But terpenes aren’t the only thing that make the strain the hit it currently is. AK47 is a relatively strong strain due to its cannabinoid content: it contains between 15-20% THC and usually less than 1% CBD. This gives it the potent cerebral high the strain is known for.

Information Regarding Growing AK47

AK47 is moderately easy to grow, but it rewards cultivators with quick flowering times and high yields. The strain can be grown outdoors in mild and dry climates with temperatures between 68- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit, but it does best indoors where humidity can be regulated. Additionally, its large buds are prone to bud rot, making outdoor growing a challenge for cultivators.

Indoors, AK47 shows best results when grown in hydroponic or soil mediums. The strain also works well with SOG, or sea of green, a technique that creates an even canopy by topping and pruning plants. AK is also known to be especially pungent, so indoor growers should be sure to install an effective air filtration system.

AK47 produces big buds, which means lots of feeding is required during flowering. Maintaining high phosphorus levels and paying attention to bud development is crucial for a good harvest. During the growing stage, the plants should see 18 hours of light and 6 hours of dark, which then changes to a 12-12 light cycle during the blooming stage. AK47 has a flowering time of 7 to 8 weeks and produces a high yield.

Summary

AK47 is the perfect way to get stuff done. Energizing, euphoric, and uplifting, this award-winning strain is also relaxing and soothing, making it a perfect hybrid. Despite its elusively violent name, AK47 will have you feeling safe and comfortable anywhere you go!
