This strain is very heterozygous. 4 seeds were started. The 4 phenos were very different. I saved 2 of those phenos for my arsenal, which is quite exceptionnal. I ususally save just one pheno from a strain.
The Pheno #1 was mainly sativa (75%). Long branches. Lots of fluffy buds. The more resistant to mold, but it has to be with the fluffiness.
The taste was cheesy and spicy, which has nothing to see with the 3 other phenos. Not a single ressemblance with ak-47 parents as well.
It shares the musky undertones of the strain, but nothing else.
That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. Terpene profile was deceiving, just as the cannabinoid content.
The Pheno #2 has more indica in it (45% indica). robust and tall plant with dense heavy buds. No mold resistance at all. Biggest producer.
The taste was earthy and musky with hints of wood.
That pheno is gone. Not enough potential.
The Pheno #3 is my favorite one. It reminded me of the good old Ak-47, with her flowery/sweet/skunky smell and taste. Pure nostalgia!
Tall and quite robust plant with huge fluffy buds coated with trichomes. She grows pretty similar to Lemon Skunk if you know the reference. Great producer of top quality buds. So sticky! In my top 3 sativa for 2 years.
The aroma is very close to the old school Ak-47: sweet, flowery and skunky.
It tastes like sweet lemon on the inhale, with a sharp touch of spicy lavender and earth on the exhale.
IMO, that is the pheno we want to save from that heterozygous strain.
Backcrossing this one would be a very good idea.
The Pheno #4 is just as interesting as my favorite #3. The only issue with this one is about mold resistance.
Crazy compact and heavy budst! One of the most productive I’ve ever seen too. More traits of the Ak-47 in the aromatic profile, but nothing like the #3.
On the structure side, we can immediately recognize the sturdy and bushy structure of Ak-47.
THC content is very high too. I suspect the CBD content to be high as well.
The effect is a mood elevation, with good focus and a deep body relaxation; a bit similar to what White widow does.
The aroma is earthy and pungent. Very skunky and musky.
It tastes very sweet and earthy on the inhale, with hints of skunk on the exhale.
That pheno #4 expresses the best traits of the Ak-47 in its structure, while pheno #3 kept the aromatic profile.
