AK Auto: Highly Rewarded
AK-47 seeds grow into tall and bushy plants with long bright green leaves and massive buds. The buds feature long white and yellow pistils growing from within the bud structure. The buds and leaves are coated in a thin layer of dusty resin trichomes. When harvested you are left with dense nuggets that are bright green with amber hairs poking out. The nuggets are leafy and easy to break up with your fingers. They are perfect for packing bowls or rolling joints. To date, the AK Auto strain of cannabis has won dozens of awards, including Cannabis Cup victories for its Sativa lineage, as well as smaller awards for flavor, aroma, and the effects the strain has on the user. The Auto variant of the AK-47 strain is a favorite among growers because it is much easier to grow than the non-autoflowering varieties. If a resume is important to you when deciding what strain to grow, you cannot go wrong with AK Auto, as it has one of the best resumes we have ever seen in the cannabis community.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
AK Auto cannabis seeds grow best in a controlled environment where conditions can be managed. AK Auto thrives in hotter climates where sunlight and fresh air are abundant. The strain is considered easy to grow even for first-time cultivators. Indoors, you are going to want to take into consideration that this plant grows tall and will require plenty of vertical space. Outdoors, you are going to want to leave space between your plants and your neighbors because of that super skunky aroma. They will be able to smell your plants if they aren’t contained in a greenhouse or given space to grow.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: AK Auto marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18 hours of light during the vegetative stage. You do not need to change the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. This strain will change stages on its own.
- Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 60-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 50-60% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Getting the humidity levels correct will ensure that your plants don’t become moldy.
- Training Techniques: AK Auto plants perform best with Low-stress training (LST) and topping to control plant height and increase yields. These methods adjust the canopy so that light hits all levels of the plant, creating a more even growth. Because these plants grow taller than most, topping and pruning are required to control their growth.
The Germination Game Plan
Before you even plant your AK Auto female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the AK Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoors, it should be harvest-ready sometime in October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 360 grams per plant. These are ample yields of high-quality bud. If it’s your first time growing cannabis, you should be really happy with these figures.
Dominant Terpenes in AK Auto: Spicy and Sweet
The AK Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and linalool are secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known for being spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is one of the most common terpenes found in marijuana.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in lemons and the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene helps with anxiety and can improve lung function.
- Linalool: Key Terpene – Linalool helps with anxiety and depression when found in cannabis plants.
Dominant Cannabinoids in AK Auto:
Cannabinoids play an important role in AK Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxing, energetic, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the AK Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 19%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying AK Auto cannabis.
- CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in AK Auto are around 2%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the AK Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.

I felt like a botanical wizard planting these seeds and watching them grow. The high is out-of-this-world amazing, and the smell is like a fragrant dance party in my garden.

Just when you thought AK couldn’t get any better, yes, it’s even better as an auto strain! It is so, so easy to grow, and I was so impressed about how fast it grew. You don’t have to switch up lighting cycles or anything like that. Really, all you have to do is plant and watch it do its thing!!

Nothing like a fresh bowl of AK at the end of the day….been growing since I was in my 20s….now I am an old man haha and I have about 3 acres outside Ventura County and I am getting my seeds delivered from Pacific to save time. Great service they provide and for a pretty agreeable price. Nothing to scoff at here, just great weed, and always strong germination, usually the hardest part!

With a complex blend of strains, these seeds offer a long-lasting heady buzz that will keep you alert and engaged. The sour and earthy flavors, coupled with floral notes, make it a delight to consume.

I bring a lot of weed to my friends. I am kind of known as the “weed guy”. Figured I’d be better off growing my own pot than buying it from the dispensary all the dang time lol. My purchase was way cheaper than expected, and the weed itself seems to grow beautifully in my backyard and in the soil. The sweet flavors are pretty exceptional, and the vibes are juuuust right. The homies are loving it. I can’t seem to get enough of it myself. I smoke it in the afternoons for a sweet and relaxing mental getaway.

Pacific Seed Bank’s customer service was top-notch, providing helpful recommendations and advice throughout my growing process. Shipping was fast and all seeds sprouted and germinated without any issues. Their blog also offered a wealth of information for new growers like me.

If you ever had a dream of growing weed as a young adult, it’s time to realize those dreams with pacific! This site has some amazing selection, it goes very well in almost any backyard and creates some beautiful results. My plants were tall, majestic, and very lush….They looked like they were from Narnia. Great vibes hitting at all angles.

AK is a classic strain and a very approachable grow for hobbyists like me! I just have a strong appreciation for weed, and I always like how it makes me feel! AK especially has been really great for managing stress, anxiety, and depression. Why not try it? These are solid seeds, they grow quickly, and they result in some amazing buds!!

First time to grow this strain. I started my plants in a greenhouse in grow bags, then when the weather warmed up I moved them outside. Then it got freaking hot and stayed that way. My plants looked just like the photo on PSB web page. They withstood all the weather extremes from a cold start to hotter that heck finish. They finished with large flowers, heavy and crawling with red hair. Very sticky, with a moderate to strong smell. I just finished drying and putting it all up in mason jars. The smell is incredible. I tried a toke or two of some young bud and was impressed with the flavors and the high. It was an easy to grow strain. I stressed the heck out her, and bent branches to keep her low. She stood up to all the stress I could give her and recovered every time. I would recommend this strain to anyone and I will probably grow this one again.

I’ve been dabbling with autos lately and so far AK has taken the cake. It’s a pleasure to grow, easy to cultivate, plants aren’t too tall, you get a nice yield, etc. But what I’m most impressed with is the lovely high. The blend of indica and sativa are just right if you ask me, giving the right amount of full body relaxation while stimulating your mind. It’s a real pleasure to smoke and you get a lot of weed in a short amount of time with these seeds. Two thumbs up!

Best. Marijuana. Ever. I love the wondrous AK Auto because it’s genetics is so complex and diverse that there’s really nothing like it. How many other strains do you know of that have Mexican, Thai and Afghani genetics in them? It is such a flavorful mix that I’m almost not sure how to describe the taste. It’s a bit spicy with a hint of citrus and also some earthiness. Also love that AK is super easy to grow. The autoflower aspect to it means that you pretty much plant it and just let it be! After 55 days, AK was partying with my mouth and mind, in the most sexy, wonderful way.

Everything about this is non-standard for most autoflowering weed I’ve found. Pretty heavy yield indoors and a pretty damn decent THC level. Almost a 50/50 indica sativa split is perfect for smoking any time of day or night. The buds themselves are a really nice deep green and very pleasant to look at and grow. I grew it indoors and had no trouble whatsoever, thanks ruderalis! Starts off really energetic and rounds off to a nice mellow sleepiness.

These plants are hardy! Would recommend for anyone’s grow setup. This is the kind of plant that will do well indoors or outdoors. I used a hydro system and was happy with my yield. The smoke is also really pleasant. It’s definitely good at giving me a solid night’s rest! Felt nice and sleepy after smoking and could barely keep my eyelids open. The blend of indica, sativa, and ruderalis is just perfect in this bud. Very nice buy! Will grow these again in the near future I’m sure.

This cannabis strain has the best effect: first I get a burst of energy and then it soothes into a nice, silky relaxation robe. Interesting bouquet of smells too: a bit of sour lemon mixed with a bounty of floral notes. Loved smelling this in my indoor grow. Awesome buy from PSB, highly recommended order!

This is a great strain for hitting the bar and then getting a good night’s sleep. Found AK’s high to be invigorating with a smooth, sleepy finish. Delivery was fast and I didn’t encounter any hassles. There are a lot of companies selling seeds nowadays, so while researching where to get the AK, I based my decision off of price and reviews. Happy with my order and will buy here again.

MMMMMmmmmmMMMMMmmmmMMMMM! really digging the sweet flavor of this bud. And the high is so perfect. I love those 50/50 hybrid splits. Roll me up a spliff of this and it’s alllllllllllllllll good. Flowering time took a little longer than other auto seeds I’ve tried, but not by much. Good experience ordering online and will buy again. Next time might try Blueberry, not sure. But would grow AK again in a sec. Good shit.

Bla-blam! Got my AK automatic by my side and all’s right with the world. I’ll admit I don’t know a shit-ton about cannabis growing but I managed to get these seeds to sprout and flower OK. My only advice is to read up a little on indoor growing, as I found out some stuff (a little late) that was helpful. Also, can’t go wrong ordering pot seeds from PSB. Excellent, fast service.

I read that a 12/12 light cycle works wonders on even the autoflowering version of this strain, so I tried that in my indoor setup and I was blessed with copious amounts of weed! I got a little more than 400 grams per plant which outdid Pacific Seed Bank’s expectations so I’m stoked! Just about eight weeks to flower.
19% thc is great, not too mellow but definitely not too outta my mind so I can still go out and have a good time without wanting to just sit on the couch for sure, even with a slight lean towards indica.

Shared this with a whole house party of friends and family and everyone loved it. I passed out this AK in joint form as party favors. So we got to try it in its most true form. Grown by yours truly with lots of love and using only organic nutrients. Really smooth smoke with a very pleasant earthy taste. Everyone commented on what a nice body buzz AK was. Thumbs up all around!
