Overview
Auto AK47 was developed by breeding the legendary AK47 with Lowryder. To date, AK47 has won 16 awards, placed at three separate High Times Cannabis Cups, and taken 1st place at the 2010 Sativa Cup. And its autoflowering progeny has retained the best of those acclaimed genetics.
A big factor in its popularity is a buzz that’s simultaneously mellow and euphoric. A sativa-dominant hybrid, Auto AK47 produces an enduring high that’s both cerebral and bodily. And with its plants producing these strong, great-tasting buds quickly and with relatively little effort, this is a strain that does everything well.
Strain Effects
Auto AK47 is a well-balanced strain that produces a dynamic high. With THC levels ranging from 15-18%, it’s strong but not overpowering. It succeeds in inducing a calming buzz that’s spiritually enlivening and physically relaxing, its relatively even mix of sativa and indica genetics facilitating effects are gentle and multifaceted.
Auto AK47 is known to increase focus and motivation and boost creativity levels. A sense of euphoria and fits of laughter are also common. This is accompanied by a mellow bodily high that’s deep without ever being overwhelming.
From a therapeutic perspective, this makes Auto AK47 great for treating conditions such as stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and depression. It’s also commonly used to treat chronic aches, pains, and migraines. Its effects are long-lasting (around 3-4 hours), and it’s an excellent insomnia treatment if taken several hours before sleeping.
Growing info
Auto AK47 is one of those strains whose rewards far exceed the level of effort you put into it. Its autoflowering nature means that plants are quick to flower and low-maintenance to cultivate. It’s also quite high-yielding for an autoflowering strain.
Professional cultivators prefer to grow this one inside, where it flowers in around 8-10 weeks and provides decent yields of 200-300g/m2. Though there’s no need to vary the light cycle, you can optimize growth with a cycle that leaves lights on for 20 hours and off for four. Plants are reasonably short, reaching heights of around 60-100cm, making them well-suited to indoor cultivation.
Auto AK47 also grows well outside, even in cooler climates. Plant it after the last winter frosts, and a decent summer should allow you to enjoy two harvests. Grown outdoors this strain flowers in July and September.
Appearance and Aroma
Auto AK47 grows with a structure that’s more indica in appearance. Plants are fairly short with strong horizontal branches, and compact buds are extremely dense and slightly conical in shape. In color, buds are lime green, their light tone accentuated by a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a spectral white sheen. An abundance of these crystals makes Auto AK47 a highly resinous strain.
Plants produce an intense aroma in both the vegetation and flowering phases. A strong, earthy fragrance turns sour as they mature, finally developing a spicier fruity edge towards the end of the growth cycle.
MSNL Editors Verdict
Auto AK47 is a strain without any weaknesses. Fans of potent autoflowering strains will enjoy its decent THC levels and well-rounded buzz. We love it for cramming those characteristics into a crop that’s so quick to flower and easy to grow. And besides its uplifting high, Auto AK47 boasts a surprisingly delicate floral flavor that makes it a real joy to smoke. In our opinion, it more than lives up to its award-winning lineage.

Auto AK47 is an incredibly aromatic strain. Cured buds produce a sour, fruity scent that takes on a pleasantly floral quality as you break them open. A delicate flavor profile is largely sweet: on inhaling, smokers will notice a crisp citrus taste underscored by more floral notes. The flavor intensifies as you exhale, growing sweeter with the addition of cinnamon and aniseed. Finally, an aftertaste of cherries provides a subtle hint of sourness, rounding off a complex and nuanced overall flavor.

"Cloning autos "
Review by Ricky
They say you can’t clone auto varieties but let me tell you about my experience. I ordered 5 of the auto Ak and 4 out of 5 germinated. I grew them inside until about 6 inches high and transplanted them outside. A few days later I went to check on my girls and some animal had dug them up destroyed the roots but the actual plants were still intact. I cut the stems at an angle and dipped them into rooting hormone and brought them back inside. Three days later I had thick roots growing from the stems so I then replanted them. I think I’ll keep them inside this time.

"All in the name"
Review by Tonks
This bud definitely shoots you in the face. Really good for my anxiety and a great sleepy time smoke. Fairly small plant but dense nugs at every node. Pulled 3 ounces as a first time grower from a 4L pot. Had to harvest a branch a week early due to a grow room accident and the difference is massive - definitely run this one for 11 weeks. Even after a short 2 week cure this is smoooooooth. The high is a creeper so watch out for it. ;)
Grown in coco with 600W hps and mh.(Posted on 08/09/2017)

"Oh. My. God."
Review by Christy
I love a head stone, and if you do, as well, this is the perfect choice. Like the name implies, AK 47 will blow you away. Just a few tokes is enough to make the problem of worst day slide away. High THC, but with a higher CBD which is good for those of us who suffer from anxiety and insomnia. Great for evening use, but definitely would not recommend using early in the day, as you will be useless for hours after smoking.
Easy grow and finished in about 11 weeks seed to flower. Just ordered the AK 47 regular so that I can grow my own seeds. This is one I'm going to keep around at all times for whenever I need to chill out and let the world disappear.(Posted on 08/12/2016)

Review by lumberg
ive grown five autos from this site so far and ak47 is by far the best one. it stays short, its potent as hell, and the smell is incredible. highly recommended.. oh, and it was finished in less than 10 weeks, seed to harvest. ive grown it both in hydro and soil, flavor is better in soil but finished faster and the yield was bigger hydro.
