Strain: Serious Seeds AK-47


---------------------------

Pheno: Not sure, but the one which most looks like the Serious’ example on the pack.

Sativa/Indica ratio: Seems like a really good 50/50 example, at least with this phenotype. I got another pheno going this round and will decide in the end which one of these two to select as a mother.

Growth characteristics: Your typical spindly AK branching featuring a large main cola with moderate side branching. Smell is going to be a factor as this one absolutely reeks. My apartment was nearly unbearable at times towards the end of the growth stage due to the overall noxious odor this strain eminates. Trimming only made matters much worse, lol.

Yield (poor, good, great): Good yielder. An excellent strain for the beginner, one that doesn’t require much attention at all and can take a ton of abuse in the process. Plus the high is an excellent example of what a nearly perfect half & half type of stone is.

Smoke report
: This is my second round growing this strain. As mentioned above I feel this is an excellent representation of a perfectly balanced high. Comes on like a Sativa with a real creeper feel in the beginning. Mostly all in the head and then after what seems like quite a long while, settles warmly into this relaxing body stone while still retaining nearly all of the head high. Daytime smoke for sure. Dubbing it an “evening smoke” would be more appropriate. You want to get high and watch the sun draw down to a close? Then AK is choice weed for that. High lasts approximately 2-2 1/2 hours long. Thing about AK is that it's one of those strains which have almost no ceiling. The more and more you smoke, the higher and higher you'll get. I believe the significant presence of Sativa within (like 50%) plays a key role in that.. Plus you've got to remember its breeder Simon has been producing this strain for many years now, so if you buy a pack there is no doubt you'll come out satisfied.

I gave this same strain a try from the same company and although it grew very easy, it did not fit my grow and the high was too heady for my likeing. As for quantity it did produce O.K. but there are many others that produce way better imo.

Good strain for first attempts.

I'm not sure if I'll end up keeping a mom of this around for too long. I've got Warlock by Serious as well and would really love to give that one a run. I don't have a whole lot of space in the Secret Jardin DR60 which I'm using as a mother/cloner tent.

I agree with you on the almost exact 50/50 Effect as well as the no ceiling. Its a great strain. If I had the room I'd have a mother growing and one flowering at all times. Simon does say in the description that it needs odor control but I've read that before and it was no big deal. With AK47 its the total truth. Man, it starts to smell while even while vegging but once she hits the flowering stretch man, its some damn stinky ass weed. Then it has to dry, then while trimming, thank God for few leaves to trim, while trimming at times it made my eyes start to water. A great strain with many, well earned, awards. Imagine... a plant that took 1st place as best Sativa and another year took #1 as an Indica. Its good to see Simon's breaking out with some new strains. Their going to be just scary

ive heard, that a "cherry" pheno exists, and is a rarity. any confirmations?
I too had heard of that cherry pheno. I am currently 1 week or so away from chopping down a tutankhamon by pyramid, the plant has a general fruitiness that resembles cherries. Not sure if they used that pheno to work with or not...
 
I've grown Tut twice and love the buzz. I get very social and seem to be able talk my way it women's pants more when smoking it than any other weed I've grown.

It helps you be yourself bud! Chicks dig it when a guy is comfortable in their skin and can just hang without all the insecurity stuff. If your cool dude, which ya seem to be so far, I'm sure it works just fine!
