comment on ak47

im a first time grower. a long time ago i read 'marijuana botany' cover to cover. I dont remember it all but i retained quite a bit, enough im sure. anyway I decide on attempting to grow ak47 because of its high thc content and ease of growing. I was debating growing a sativa like ice, durban poison, maybe nevilles haze (thats a sativa right?) for the high it gives but being a newbie i thought that the sativas would be a bit harder to grow and yield less.. i dont know if thats true or not.. anyway i got some ak47 coming in the mail (i hope) and i read this strain review of ak47 and it seems to contradict itself by saying on the one hand that its a short flower period for a sativa but then it says that it was voted most potent indica in a cannabis cup. so is ak47 indica or sativa or both? and lastly any quick and ez grow guides for my first grow? maybe something with lots of pictures. thanks

i hope to be able to care for this indoors but i might have to put it outdoors and check on it now &then...

AK isn't a bad choice at all. I think it's a mix but i'm not to sure. But I did have a friend grow some last year and the nuggs were both big and fluffy. As far as grow guides goes. I highly recomend Jorge cervantes new bible. It should run you about $25 but it will be an excelent investment.

I have his dvd too. Ak47 is a bad ass plant to grow. The ak always looks better(healthier) than anything else in my room.

How does white russian compare with ak? Ever cultivated a crop widow? the russian has ak genes as I'm sure you know. I'll be growing some white russian next crop. The seeds are quite cheap too.

Nope. I have ak47, romulan and mr. nice that I havent budded yet. Im going to take some pictures here soon. I'll link them to this thread.

Here you go...

thanks for the replies, i will buy that $25 book.. but my seeds didnt show! Maybe there just late...
btw Nice pic, is that the romulan or the mr.nice? good luck everyone with your plants -peace

edited cuz im a paranoid retard who doesnt have the patience to wait for his seeds.. I'll give them another week before trying another source that might ship to the us.. (be extra cool if it was some bizness operating 'underground' from within the US so they wouldnt have to past customs) any ideas in advance? thanks

AK stinks. Straight up. 1 small bud will smell up a whole room. The high for me is like getting smacked in the back of the head with a Louisville Slugger. It will leave you stupid and drooling and unable to communicate. The smell is kinda hard to describe kinda like (pine needles x skunk x fruit x your grandmas' denture breath) it fucking stinks-BAD! If you have ever grown or smoked it you will know what im talking about. The yield is excellent. The high will turn you and friends into drooling retards. This one is the closest thing to Roadkill Skunk that you will find! All in all a REAL GOOD smoke. It's worth every cent you spend on the seeds.

Drooling retards? Shit. I was debating buying AK-47, because I figured it was working weed, cos of the huge sativa content!
I'm also a beginner grower, or well I've done it inside with fluoros before but I under-watered and bye-bye babies. If anyone could recommend their favorite happy-high strain that's easy for new growers?

Not a really huge sativa content, more like a perfect mix of sativa/indica. You will find that most sativas will "brain" you. They will make you too dumb to work. Indicas will make you too lazy. 6 of 1 half dozen of the other.

Disagree...Bought seeds from Serious. Gotone female out of the four plants. She's grown in soil under Hydrofarm flours. Trichs and pistils still white but I am starting flush with next watering and expect two mores weeks before harvet. Comments?

Im telling you...as far as smell goes your right it stinksto HIGH Heavens...its so bad that when i was a novice "dealer" I got some to flip and had to ride with it behind the gas cap door on the outside of the car because if i got pulled over with this shit in my car it was bye bye for sure! AK has one of the most potant smells of anything i have ever smelled it compairs to skunk piss...

Afghan X Kush with a flowering time of 47 days hence AK 47. Indica, of course.

I smoked AK47 once, they do not call it a one hitter-quiter for nothing! It is a good late night, stay up and play video games type of smoke. Definately do not want to be out and about smoking this be-otch!

Haha right on man yeah i grow ak47 and i fuckin LOVE IT! The best weed ive grown and smoked.

"AK47 - Serious Seeds: Rocket Fuel. Up, soaring, not functional. One hit, incredibly potent. Stinks like cat piss and dead skunk. Or perhaps smells as if a cat pissed on a skunk and the smell was so bad the skunk died, then the cat dragged the skunk into a garbage bag and left it in the sun for a week. Get odor control if you're doing this strain."

And anyone looking for a smoke you can actually work and think on, try c99. (But don't smoke tooooo much.)

The AK wants to auto flower if it gets root bound, or any other kind of stress. all 7 of my females (including the cherry) wants to auto. I like em a little more stress free than the famous AK-47. Good Smoke, just a pain.

High Indie.. interesting comments.. whos' AK are you speaking of?

I'm not disagreeing, I've got it going rignt now (Serious AK), in my first run with the plants in pots (E&F vs DWC previously).. so I have no experience with root bound. I get the concept but after every DWC harvest I'd get the root mass in my hands and it never felt like there was more than a gallon of roots but I was high.. every time! LOL!!

that would be a mix i believe but the pheno type is probably more towards the indica strain.
my first grow was indica and satica strains.the pic i have up is of one of my indica's.the bud measured 14'' tall and 4'' thick not bad for a first grow.

Whose version of AK47 did you buy? My experience with serious seeds AK47 is that its extremely strong, but leaves me energized and quite functional. Definely big Sativa percentage blended in. Easy as anything to grow, decent yeilds but not extraordinary, indica flower time, great freaking smell of superior aroma.
