Welcome back to another edition of Flora Seed Bank’s Auto Strain of the Week! Today, we’re excited to spotlight a strain that’s as legendary as it is reliable: Auto AK-47. This is the automatic feminized version of the iconic AK-47, a strain renowned for its potent effects and vigorous growth. With its roots in the classic AK-47, crossed with a carefully selected Lowryder, Auto AK-47 retains the robust genetics while offering the convenience and speed of an auto-flowering plant.
Genetics and Blend
Auto AK-47 is the result of crossing the legendary AK-47, a mostly Sativa strain, with a Lowryder. This meticulous breeding process was aimed at maintaining the stable genetics of the original AK-47 while incorporating the auto-flowering trait. The blend consists of 10% Indica, 70% Sativa, and 20% Ruderalis. This unique combination ensures that Auto AK-47 offers the best of all worlds – the high yield and potent effects of Sativa, the resilience of Ruderalis, and the manageable size of Indica.
Appearance and Structure
One of the most striking features of Auto AK-47 is its appearance. Despite its Sativa dominance, this strain grows like a bushy Indica. It can reach over one meter in height, displaying a robust main cola surrounded by various lower satellite branches. This structure not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also enhances its yield potential, making it a favorite among growers looking for both beauty and bounty.

Effects and Usage
Given its Sativa dominance, Auto AK-47 offers effects that are uplifting and euphoric, perfect for those seeking a creative and energetic high. It’s an excellent choice for daytime use, providing mental clarity and a boost of energy without the couch-lock effect commonly associated with Indica strains. Medical users may find it beneficial for managing stress, depression, and fatigue, thanks to its invigorating properties.
Growing Difficulty
While Auto AK-47 is relatively easy to grow, it’s rated as intermediate in terms of difficulty. This is due to its need for proper nutrients and environmental conditions to achieve optimal yields and potency. However, with a little care and attention, even growers with moderate experience can successfully cultivate this strain.
Flowering Type and Plant Height
Auto AK-47 is an auto-flowering strain, meaning it doesn’t rely on light cycles to begin flowering. This trait, inherited from its Lowryder parent, makes it incredibly convenient for growers looking for a quicker turnaround. The plant height ranges from 100-180 cm, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor setups where space might be a consideration.
Seed Type
Auto AK-47 is feminized, ensuring that every seed grows into a flowering plant. This eliminates the guesswork and effort associated with identifying and removing male plants, allowing growers to maximize their yield potential.
Auto AK-47 stands out as a top-tier auto-flowering strain that combines the best characteristics of its parent genetics. Its Sativa dominance ensures a potent, uplifting effect, while its Indica-like structure and Ruderalis resilience make it a robust and rewarding plant to grow.
