Although named after the world's most feared firearm, the AK-47 cannabis has no hint of violence in it. In fact, it is an elating yet relaxing marijuana that can make a toker's afternoon the highlight of the day. And, with its uplifting high and sprinkles of artistry, ruckus has zero possibility.AK-47 is quite a surprising pot. Despite being Sativa-heavy, its Indica gifts are also quite prominent. Its many accolades include finishing second in the Indica category of the 2003 High Times Cannabis Cup. Additionally, the plant is a lot shorter but also sturdier than most of its kind. When consuming and/or growing this breed, expect to reap the benefits of both.Delighting AK-47 growers even more are its fast version Homegrown Cannabis seeds. Such variant is a product of blending a female AK-47 clone from a group of first-class regular seeds and an autoflowering AK-47. The result of their union is nothing short of phenomenal. Able to share a large yield like the original, harvest comes early with the speedy baby.With its earthy yet skunky aroma, AK-47 invites users by first tickling their senses. What keeps its solid fanbase hooked, though, is the satisfying mind and body experience it gives. A robust and resilient kind, it also has an increasing number of grower devotees. Can one strain genuinely have it all? Well, maybe not, but this hybrid sure has a lot of great things to offer.Growing AK-47 Fast VersionAlthough Sativa-dominant, the fast flowering AK-47 is also proud of its Indica heritage. Its silhouette resembles a miniature Christmas tree. Branchy but with not so lush fan-like leaves, all eyes are on its monster colas. Each one is brimming with fat buds that are glimmering with crystal trichomes. Its deep tangerine hairs are abundant and longer than most pistils.The strain is best grown indoors where growers have full control of the humidity and temperature. A bit prone to bud rot, it needs RH levels between 40 to 50% and warmth kept within 18 to 26° Celcius. It also requires an exhaust fan and defoliating lower leaves for better air circulation. Should a bud get affected, remove it and the nearby buds immediately. Also, have a carbon-filter to avoid nosy neighbors from noticing one's pungent endeavor.Loving all the attention, if showered with all the necessities, the flora should do well. It favors soil or hydroponics medium coupled with SOG setup. Because it matures extra fast, it only needs 6 to 7 weeks to fully flower. Come harvest-time, up to 500 grams of crops per square meter awaits.Growers who prefer to plant the cannabis outdoors better be in the aptest location to avoid issues. If grown in Mediterranean-like paradise with lots of sun, each AK-47 fast version can share up to 600 grams of buds. Summers in the northern hemisphere should also suffice. By mid to late October, the plant's nugs should be ripe for harvest.Fragrance and FlavorAn AK-47 toking experience always starts with a skunky sour kick. Enough to enliven the mind, a musky and spicy fragrance follows the quick jolt. Also offering an excellent fusion of flavors, the ganja delights the palate too. With each bowl, the vapor coats the tongue with a distinct skunk taste sprinkled with a bit of sandalwood. Upon exhale, its smoke leaves behind a sweet floral sapidity with hints of spicy herbs.EffectsThe Sativa-dominant AK-47 delivers a happy high that doesn't cloud one's judgment. It's not recommended for some waking and baking, though. Despite having a modest Indica content, toying with its capacity is not a good idea if there's a need to stay active. With just three to four hits, it can couch-lock even veteran tokers for a about an hour before sending them to sleep. Users with high tolerance turn to it around mid-day for an energy boost, a small toke or two is good enough to do the job. Others with average to low endurance, on the other hand, should consume it after work. Most nine-to-fivers go for a late afternoon or early evening trip. Inducing a mellow buzz, AK-47 elates the mind without causing a mental overdrive. All the stimulation, though, leads to hearty and fulfilling fits of giggles. The euphoria also gives potheads a strong sense of motivation and a yearning for a bit of socializing. It pushes many enjoyers to get busy in an endeavor that challenges the mind. Meanwhile, others head for some tête-à-tête with family and friends.As the cerebral high dwindles, the relaxing physical sensation will become heavier. In low dosages, movement is never restricted although the lethargy makes it hard. After a couple of hours, the eyelids feel cumbersome, and at least one long yawn has been unleashed. Before the user knows it, sleep has already taken over.Despite all its gratifying benefits, the bud has its fair share of adverse effects. When taken without restraint especially while dehydrated, it can cause parched discomfort in the eyes and mouth. Most users choose to overlook them and wait till they go away on their own. Avoiding the two dry irritations, though, is pretty simple. Just keep the hits small and few, also stay hydrated even before and after a smoke out. Keeping an over the counter eye drop can be handy for the arid peepers too.Aside from slight physical irritation, the pot also possesses psychoactive side effects. Though not occurring often, newbies and those with poor THC tolerance are most prone to more concerning offshoots. Some only get dizzy or catch a headache. A few unlucky ones, though, experience an anxiety attack. To shun away such ramifications, test the waters first and stay safe with just a maximum of two small tokes.MedicalApart from its delightful leisure effects, AK-47 has immense medical benefits as well. It is an all-organic alternative to drug prescriptions against pain and mental conditions. Unlike the latter, this herb has manageable and nominal side effects. Even better, the comfort it can give takes effect fast and is enduring.Through AK-47, psychologically burdened people enjoy a break from dreary thoughts and emotions. It grants instant bliss to those battling depression and stress to help them brave the rest of the day. Even those with Bipolar Disorder get to manage their mood due to the bud's euphoric yet calming high.Additionally, individuals struggling with poor appetite also find the ganja insanely valuable. Because it has a strong munchies effect, hunger becomes too strong to deny. Eating heartily is the only way to appease the churning greed for food.Moreover, the strain is also sought after by patients taxed by chronic pain. It possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits apart from its muscle relaxing function. With such features, agony caused by arthritis, migraines, and PMS vanish within minutes.Finally, after alleviating mental and physical maladies, the weed will showcase its final act. Whether battling lack of sleep for just a few days or a certified insomniac for months now, AK-47 has the relief for the restless. After enjoying a moment of bliss, its relaxing stroke will soothe one to sleep. In higher dosage, of course, an express ride to dreamland is available within an hour.AK-47 Fast Version SeedsWhether growing Ak-47 for commercial or personal purposes, using its fast version seeds is beneficial. These babies need a bit of TLC just like the regular ones. However, as they flower faster than the latter, growers can enjoy a hefty harvest early. The same effort for something that can be savored sooner rather than later? Sounds awesome! With AK-47 fast version seeds from Homegrown Cannabis, waiting is a thing of the past.
