Growing Tips for Our Seeds

AK-47 cannabis seeds grow best in a controlled environment where conditions can be managed. Indoors, growers can control factors like temperature, humidity, and light. AK-47 can thrive outdoors in a warm, sunny climate, ensuring the plants have plenty of sunlight and are protected from extreme weather conditions. Grown best by intermediate to master level growers, this strain can be fussy if you don’t have any experience. If you’ve got a low-level green thumb, you should be able to grow this strain as long as you can provide the hotter temperatures that it prefers.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: AK-47 marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 55-65% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40-50% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Getting the humidity levels correct will ensure that your plants don’t become moldy.
• Training Techniques: AK-47 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.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the AK-47 strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-65 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 400 grams per plant. These are hefty yields of high-THC bud. When grown correctly, you should reap the rewards of a somewhat difficult strain to grow.

Dominant Terpenes in AK-47: Tasty Terpenes

The AK-47 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-47:

Cannabinoids play an important role in AK-47 seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxing, creative, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the AK-47 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 Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying AK-47 cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in AK-47 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-47 strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
