AK-47 is a legendary cannabis strain known worldwide for its high potency and unique name. This hybrid strain is also known as "AK" and has a rich history dating back to the early 1990s. Its genetic composition is a blend of South-American (Colombian + Mexican), Thai, and Afghani landrace strains, giving it a complex and robust profile. The flavor of AK-47 is earthy and sour, with hints of floral and sweet notes. Its THC levels can reach up to 20%, making it a powerful choice for experienced users. The effects are cerebral and uplifting, often inducing a sense of creativity and euphoria, followed by a relaxing body high. This strain is best enjoyed during the day or in social settings due to its energizing and talkative effects. Medicinally, AK-47 is often used to alleviate symptoms of stress, depression, and chronic pain. Its ability to induce relaxation and happiness makes it a popular choice for those seeking relief from mood disorders. Cultivating AK-47 is considered moderately difficult, with a flowering time of about 7 to 9 weeks. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring warm and sunny climates similar to those found in many parts of the United States. Growers appreciate its high yield and the distinctive aroma it brings to their gardens, which is a blend of its parent strains, including Colombian Gold and Afghani.
