About AK-47
AK-47 was created by Serious Seeds, combining Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani genetics into a single stabilized hybrid. Despite the indica-influenced name, AK-47 is predominantly sativa in effect with a soaring, creative cerebral high. The strain took years to stabilize due to the complexity of its four-way heritage. AK-47 has a distinct floral, sweet, and sour aroma with earthy undertones. It flowers in a manageable 8-10 weeks and produces good yields of dense buds. AK-47 won first place at the Cannabis Cup in 1994.
