AK Auto: Highly Rewarded

AK-47 seeds grow into tall and bushy plants with long bright green leaves and massive buds. The buds feature long white and yellow pistils growing from within the bud structure. The buds and leaves are coated in a thin layer of dusty resin trichomes. When harvested you are left with dense nuggets that are bright green with amber hairs poking out. The nuggets are leafy and easy to break up with your fingers. They are perfect for packing bowls or rolling joints. To date, the AK Auto strain of cannabis has won dozens of awards, including Cannabis Cup victories for its Sativa lineage, as well as smaller awards for flavor, aroma, and the effects the strain has on the user. The Auto variant of the AK-47 strain is a favorite among growers because it is much easier to grow than the non-autoflowering varieties. If a resume is important to you when deciding what strain to grow, you cannot go wrong with AK Auto, as it has one of the best resumes we have ever seen in the cannabis community.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

AK Auto cannabis seeds grow best in a controlled environment where conditions can be managed. AK Auto thrives in hotter climates where sunlight and fresh air are abundant. The strain is considered easy to grow even for first-time cultivators. Indoors, you are going to want to take into consideration that this plant grows tall and will require plenty of vertical space. Outdoors, you are going to want to leave space between your plants and your neighbors because of that super skunky aroma. They will be able to smell your plants if they aren’t contained in a greenhouse or given space to grow.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: AK Auto marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18 hours of light during the vegetative stage. You do not need to change the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. This strain will change stages on its own.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 60-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 50-60% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Getting the humidity levels correct will ensure that your plants don’t become moldy.
• Training Techniques: AK Auto plants perform best with Low-stress training (LST) and topping to control plant height and increase yields. These methods adjust the canopy so that light hits all levels of the plant, creating a more even growth. Because these plants grow taller than most, topping and pruning are required to control their growth.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the AK Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoors, it should be harvest-ready sometime in October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 360 grams per plant. These are ample yields of high-quality bud. If it’s your first time growing cannabis, you should be really happy with these figures.

Dominant Terpenes in AK Auto: Spicy and Sweet

The AK Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and linalool are secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known for being spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is one of the most common terpenes found in marijuana.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in lemons and the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene helps with anxiety and can improve lung function.
• Linalool: Key Terpene – Linalool helps with anxiety and depression when found in cannabis plants.

Dominant Cannabinoids in AK Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in AK Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxing, energetic, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the AK Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 19%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying AK Auto cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in AK Auto are around 2%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the AK Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
