Cultivation Notes
AK-47 typically finishes in 8 to 9 weeks, developing a tall, robust sativa structure with long, compact colas that pack on dense, resinous flowers. Indoors it stands around 3.5 to 4.5 feet (39 to 55 inches) and can produce roughly 46 grams per sq ft, while outdoor plants stretch taller, reaching about 4 to 5 feet (47 to 63 inches) and yielding up to 23 ounces per plant in warm, stable conditions, with harvests ready around the second to third week of October. The buds finish frosty and sticky with heavy resin production, and the plant’s tall, open sativa frame responds well to topping, LST, and canopy management to keep airflow moving and light reaching the lower colas.
Additional Info
Many people describe the overall experience as bright and cerebral at first, easing into a soothing, euphoric calm that reflects its four-way sativa-dominant lineage. The flavor carries bright citrus up front with spicy, earthy depth that becomes more expressive after curing. AK-47 is also known for its vigor and adaptability, thriving across a range of climates while holding to fast flowering times, which makes it a dependable choice for growers who want proven genetics and consistent results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AK-47 a Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid?
Sativa Dominant Hybrid
Is AK-47 an Autoflower or Photoperiod strain?
AK-47 is a Photoperiod strain. Photoperiod varieties flower when the light schedule changes (typically 12 hours on / 12 hours off). They take longer than autoflowers but give you more control over plant size and yield. Autoflower varieties flower automatically based on age, usually finishing 9 to 12 weeks from seed — no light timing required.
How long does it take AK-47 to grow?
Photoperiod strains give you more control over timing, but they take longer overall — typically 3 to 5 months from seed to harvest. You'll spend 4 to 8 weeks in vegetative growth (where you control how big the plant gets), then switch to a 12/12 light schedule to trigger flowering, which takes another 7 to 10 weeks depending on the strain. Indoor growers have full control over when to flip, while outdoor harvests generally land between late September and mid-October. Check the strain details above for specific flowering time estimates, and visit our growing guide for a full walkthrough.

How do I germinate AK-47 seeds?
We recommend the paper towel method for the most reliable results. Start with a 24-hour soak in a hydrogen peroxide solution (1 part 3% H2O2 to 6 parts water) to boost germination rates. After soaking, place your seeds between two damp paper towels inside a container or plastic bag, and keep them in a warm spot (around 75 to 80°F). Most seeds crack open within 24 to 72 hours. Once a taproot appears, transfer the seed gently into your growing medium about a quarter-inch deep. For a full walkthrough, check out our germination guide.
