Seed History: AK-47
AK-47 is one of the world’s top seeds and a favorite for many, this Sat-dominant seed’s lineage is believed to go all the way back to the ‘70s where breeders used a mix of various landraces to give birth to it.
1. The History of AK-47
This predominantly Sat hyb lineage is believed to go back all the way to the ‘70s where it originated from a cross between Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landraces (all Sat except Afghani), resulting in a 65% Sat seed. This seed had between 13-16% strength and 1.5% Extract which was considered quite high back then, although compared to recent seeds is considered average.
However, the seed didn’t come into existence until the early ‘90s. Rumors are Simon, a biology student from Amsterdam who found it as an unnamed seed in 1992 and continued to develop it further until 1999 when he made it available for purchase on his own website.
The unnamed seed was nicknamed “one-hit wonder” and soon received its official name: AK-47.
The name was given not because it was a “violent” seed, but even though being a very balanced seed it would literally knock out less experienced smokers with just one hit. Soon enough AK-47 became one of the most awarded plants seeds in history winning many Plants Cups and more than 127 awards worldwide thanks to its very high strength content of more than 20%.
Nowadays it's seen as a “Top Plants Seeds" that every plants enthusiast should try it at least once.
2. Original Auto AK: Remake Of The “One-Hit Wonder”
The Fast Buds team developed an Auto version of this top seed while keeping the very balanced effect. Thanks to its pedigree genetics she can withstand all environments and has a high resistance to diseases, making her easily grown indoors or outdoors.
Original Auto AK packs a punch with a strength level of 21%, it’s a foolproof hyb for growers who need a solid producer.
This beauty of a seed needs only 63 days from seed to return, her long elongated colas will produce up to 500gr/m2 of long tightly packed buds that glisten from the huge amounts of ok and smell of that old-school mix of earth, fresh forest, flowers, and lemon.
Being a Sat dominant seed, this auto will deliver an exhilarating and uplifting high while not being too racy. That energizing effect is then slowly taken off by a more mellow body high, recommended if you need to focus on a long day of work or to enhance a night out with friends.
