AK-47

AK-47 by Serious Seeds is the breeder’s original version of this legendary hybrid, first developed from Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landrace stock. Serious Seeds presents it as an F1 hybrid with mostly sativa traits, combining vigorous growth, strong resin production, and a reputation that has kept it relevant for decades. It is a true classic. This is specifically Serious Seeds’ AK-47, a name that has also been used by other breeders over the years.

The breeder describes this variety as easy to grow, medium in height, and quick to finish for a sativa-leaning hybrid. Indoor flowering is listed at 8 to 9 weeks, with a recommended vegetative period of 2.5 to 4 weeks and harvest potential of 350 to 600 g/m² indoors. The performance is dependable. That balance of speed, structure, and productivity helps explain why the strain has remained one of the best-known names in the Serious Seeds catalogue.

In terms of effect, the breeder highlights a mentally and physically soothing experience with strong potency and a lasting finish. Serious Seeds also notes the “one hit wonder” reputation that has followed this cultivar for years, while its official profile lists very high THC and low CBD. The impact is memorable. This combination gives AK-47 a distinctive place among old-school hybrids that manage to feel both energetic in heritage and deeply calming in effect.

The aroma and flavour profile are equally central to its identity. Serious Seeds describes a terpene-rich expression with a spicy base tone, sweet citrus character, and an intensely strong odour, while older breeder text associated with the strain also points to fruity sweetness and occasional cherry-like vivahteet in some expressions. The scent is bold. With more than 27 awards listed by the breeder, including its long-standing recognition as one of the market’s most awarded strains, AK-47 remains a cornerstone variety for collectors who value authenticity, pedigree, and enduring appeal.
