At Amsterdam Seed Center, we love a classic cannabis strain; fewer have a more distinctive name than AK-47. Named after the infamous weapon, Serious Seeds bred the first complete version of the AK-47 strain in the early 90's. However, the origins of the AK-47 cannabis seeds date back to the 70s'.
About the AK-47 Cannabis strain
It is named so because, like the gun, this sativa hybrid gets the job done in one hit. Though AK-47 cannabis seeds are to make peace, not war, and with >20% THC, this classic hybrid will blow your mind without making a mess. But where did it come from? AK 47 is a 4-way cross of three sativa and one indica landrace. Versions of the strain have been around since the 70s, but it was not until 1992 that a student named Simon, who went on to form Serious Seeds, began developing the strain before releasing the potent version we know now in 1999. The strain is one of the most famous out there and has won 27 cannabis cup awards. According to Serious Seeds, AK-47 is the most awarded strain on the market.
Effect of AK-47
AK-47 cannabis strains are famous for being well-balanced hybrids (60% sativa, 40% indica). The classic hybrid delivers a smooth, relaxing and long-lasting high. The high comes on quick, so don't underestimate this hybrid; too much will leave the most experienced users with a tinge of paranoia. It is with medical patients that this strain comes into its own. Users with sleep issues report that a few blasts of AK-47s and the dead to the world for the night. It is also thought to increase appetite, reduce nausea, and reduce stress and anxiety.
Growing AK-47
One of the reasons why this hybrid is loved by many is that it is easy to grow. Many hybrids share similar attributes, but if we're talking about the Serious Seeds AK-47, it will want 2.5 - 4 weeks of veg before 8-9 weeks of flowering. The AK-47 hybrid tends to yield large amounts of cannabis, which is another appealing aspect of growing AK-47. The 99 version will produce dense nuggets covered in a thick layer of trichomes. However, if you need to conceal your growth from prying eyes, AK-47 strains should be avoided. They are too pungent to go unnoticed, and if your neighbours disagree with your botany choices, you could be in trouble.
AK-47 Hybrids
It is not surprising that a classic cannabis strain with as many canna cups as AK-47 should provide the basis for countless hybrid strains. Since the original strain was released in 1992, it has been among the best-selling strains ever. The Serious Seeds version of this strain is the foundation for over 40 cannabis hybrids that you can buy online at Amsterdam Seed Center. These include AK-OG Kush, Jack 47 Auto, AK Kush Express and Royal AK. Plus, many more.
Top 3 Best AK-47 Cannabis Seeds
AK-47 Serious Seeds
It almost goes without saying that, more often than not, the original is always the best. At least, we think that's the case with this classic cannabis strain. Despite being the basis for dozens of famous offspring, the 99 AK-47 is still up there with the best. It has won multiple awards, is easy to grow and is relatively quick from seed to harvest. You can't beat it, and you know the breeder is serious.

This spicy and pungent hybrid carries many of the best traits from the parent plants but has a unique flavour with an unparalleled effect. AK-020 is worth a try if you want a more balanced version of the original AK-47 strain.
Royal AK - Royal Queen Seeds
The world-famous AK 47 is notorious for sending novice smokers to sleep, and Royal AK by Royal Queen Seeds is no different. This blend of Columbian, Mexican, Thai and Afghan genetics is a 60% Sativa/40% Indica hybrid. Though you wouldn't know to look at it. Royal AK defies its sativa heritage in both appearance and effect. The AK 47 hybrid packs a potent punch at up to 20% THC, but it is an ideal strain for most smokers. Remember that, like most AK 47 hybrids, this one will stink the tent out through flowering, so you must invest in a quality carbon filter.
