Our notes on AK-47
The unfortunate name belies a thoughtful sativa-leaning hybrid built from four landrace lines — Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani — stabilised by Serious Seeds in the early 1990s. AK-47 produces one of the most consistent up-and-relaxed highs in the catalogue: bright, social, and chatty for the first hour, easing into mellow contentment without sedation. The smell on the cure is divisive — sour, skunky, with a sandalwood undertone that some growers love and others find loud. It's a vigorous plant with strong branching, suits Sea of Green or low-stress training, and tolerates beginner errors. A small amount of CBD is often present in this line, which softens the edges of the sativa charge. In Thailand it handles outdoor heat well with adequate airflow.
