AK-47 Seeds

Genetics & effects

AK-47 is a feminised, landrace-derived hybrid combining Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghan genetics. Its profile leans 65% sativa and 35% indica, pairing lively growth with a balanced finish. THC is listed at 14–19%, while CBD is listed at 0–0.5%.

Individual experiences vary, but AK-47 is often described as initially euphoric, uplifting and creatively focused, followed by a more relaxed sensation. Its layered aroma can bring together earthy, pungent and woody notes with sour fruit, berry and a touch of sweetness. Myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene are the principal listed terpenes behind this distinctive character. Explore more options in the feminised seed collection.

Growing in New Zealand

AK-47 is considered an intermediate-level choice that can suit temperate or hot, dry conditions. New Zealand growers should account for regional differences: northern areas generally offer a longer, warmer season, while southern and exposed locations may have cooler nights and a shorter outdoor window. Check the rules that apply in your location before germination or cultivation.

For seasonal planning, outdoor planting generally falls within spring, from September to November, once conditions are stable and late cold snaps are less likely. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil and steady airflow. Because dense flowers can retain moisture, monitor humidity and rainfall closely to reduce mould risk.

Indoor

Indoors, AK-47 may reach up to 140 cm and typically flowers for 8–9 weeks. Its sativa-leaning structure can stretch after flowering begins, so early canopy planning is useful where vertical room is limited. Gentle training and an even canopy can help distribute light across productive sites.

• Flowering: approximately 8–9 weeks
• Indoor height: up to 140 cm
• Indoor yield: up to 550 g/m²
• Experience level: intermediate

Keep air moving through and beneath the canopy, particularly as flowers gain weight. Stable temperature and humidity, sensible spacing and regular observation support consistent development. Listed heights and yields are reference figures rather than assured outcomes.

Outdoor

Outdoors, plants may reach up to 170 cm and can produce up to 800 g per plant under favourable conditions. A warm, dry spot is ideal, although the variety can also suit temperate settings with good sun exposure. Shelter from strong wind and prolonged autumn rain can help preserve branch structure and flower quality.

Allow enough space between plants for airflow and access. In wetter districts, inspect dense flower clusters after rain and remove trapped surface moisture through natural ventilation. Container growing can offer flexibility where plants may need repositioning as weather changes.

Harvest

For New Zealand’s southern-hemisphere cycle, outdoor harvest generally falls between March and May. Exact timing depends on planting date, latitude, seasonal weather and plant development. Watch flower maturity rather than relying only on a calendar, and plan around extended rain or early frosts. Indoor crops are usually ready after the stated 8–9-week flowering period. Careful drying and storage will help retain AK-47’s earthy, fruity colour and aroma.
