Which breeder has AK-47 cherry-pheno?

As I understand, this is supposedly the pheno to look out for, but I'm under the impression that it has become rarer and rarer from the AK-47 seeds you now buy from Serious. I know subcool has commented on this, and reference to the "cherry-pheno" pops up from time to time. So, as the heading says, if anyone knows any breeder that uses this pheno in some sort of a cross or another, please respond!

Can you provide the details to the Cherry pheno? Can't remember, read about it someplace as well. Is it red or Cherry for flavor?

Hey man, I haven't even smoked the AK-47 yet, but I will grow it this year... the cherry-pheno (I guess it resembles cherry in some way!) is supposedly the best tasting AK-47 of the bunch, so I'm just interested if any breeder uses it in his/her crossings....

the only place your going to get a cherry pheno is to get it from serious seeds..it will be like buying ball cards to get the rookie card though..the reason it is so sought after is it tastes like cherry ludens cough drops.and is one of the dopest of dopes. or you could get some regular ak 47 beans save a male and a female breed hundreds of f2 ..that is if you dont get the pheno in the bunch you are looking for. then pop those beans untill you come up with the cherry pheno.good luck

Yeah, I reckon that it would be difficult to obtain a pure cherry-pheno from a different breeder than Serious, but surely, they must be somewhat sought after and kept as male or female for crosses? I've seen a lot of seed-banks that offers strains that contains a AK-47 - cross, question is if any of them uses the cherry-pheno to the knowledge to anyone in this forum?
My impression is that they were quite common in the mid-nighties when you bought the AK-47, as in one-out-of-ten, while now it's seemingly one-out-of-a-thousand. Forget that, ha ha!

Go with serious, you might get some junk, at least with serious you always know what your getting and even if you don't get the cherry pheno, chances are its going to be better than a lower breeders cross claiming to have the cherry pheno.

If its cherry your directly after then why not get a cherry strain.

Also stick to reg ak's cus the fem's will be more rigid in phenos.

if you have any medical disp. where you could get a clone of the cherry pheno would be the easy way of finding one.buying seeds is like buying a pack of ball cards..you never know what pheno type you are going to get in the pack..if you buy unfemmed seeds there is another crap shoot on how many females or males you are going to get.ive heard of some people getting all males..im sure some of that has to do with their growing environ

Ha, ha! No, man, I live in a country where cannabis is considered as narcotics big time. Even the sale of seeds is illegal, and there is hell to pay if they get caught by the droids (i.e. uniformed state-employees) in customs.
Anyways, the whole point was that getting the cherry-pheno has become a whole find-the-needle-in-a-haystack scenario if bought from Serious, as I understand it. I do not have a) insanely lots of money to buy, like, a 1000 AK-47 seeds, nor b) unlimited grow-space and definitely not c) the mental discipline to look for that one pheno. Hence the title of the thread.
There's a lot of breeders that use the AK-47 in crossings, so it would be strange (in my mind) if this infamous pheno isn't in one of them...

Can this "cherry phenotype" be obtained through AK-48? I have grown out some ak48 and there were 3 phenos. one came out purple, another nothing to brag about, but one, WOW. Super cherry smell and flavor. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Brick Top say's he got one from Joey Weed's AK 47.
I believe BC Seed King's AK 47 will throw one out sometimes.

Straight from the horses's mouth, on the Cherry AK pheno, from Simon of Serious ceeds:


About AK47 Cherry Phenotype

About the Cherry pheno in Ak-47 I'm not sure what to answer. You could say this is something which started on the net between people who grew Serious' AK-47. Several growers agreed that a certain type of the AK-47, which they grew and smoked, has a very sweet and cherry-like taste. Other growers seem to recognize this taste and smell, and so the 'Cherry AK-47 phenotype' was born.

As you might know it is very difficult to discuss tastes or to name, describe, a smell or taste objectively. Consequently I don't know exactly what they mean when growers talk about this. Some friends once tasted what a grower called cherry taste and said that you have to use a bit of imagination to recognize it. But was what they tried a real 'Cherry' AK-47 or was it just a close sister? So, we don't really know if what 'they' name cherry would be recognized as a cherry-taste by others, or not.

I have seen on numerous occasions that when people were smoking something, that several people named the taste different from the others; spicey, sweet, fruity, sandalwood, vanilla-ish, piney etc. all were used independently from each other. And who was right?

We have tasted many AK-plants, a fruity kind of sweetness is easily recognized in many of them, but we don't know which taste to call cherry. The total number of AK-47 seeds grown by growers worldwide is much bigger then we could ever trie in our test rooms, so the possibility that some find a rare and fantastic individual is very real. We get reports from people who claim to find Cherry-pheno's in every seedpack, while others say 1 out of a 100 plants is a Cherry. This alone shows that nobody knows what the other is talking about.

Nobody has showed us a clone so far of a 'Cherry', so the basic line is that there is no standard on what the charecteristics of the 'Cherry AK-47 phenotype' really is. But for us it is interesting to see that many people do find something which they are very happy with, and call 'cherry'.


So we think it is best to let growers carry on with this, as they certainly might be right. This is a myth of which it is not known by us if true or false. Several experienced knowledgeable growers think it is true, and others agree to this, so who are we to say they are wrong???

May be the only way to find out is to actually grow the AK-47 out yourself to see what YOU think.



Sincerely,
Simon

p.s. We are very much interested in getting clones from people who are certain to have a Cherry AK-47. This should lead to creating a standard on what the 'Cherry' pheno is. Till then we can only give the information given above when asked about the 'Cherry AK-47 phenotype'.

Gage Green is using a Cherry AK in at least one of their crosses I do believe. Ak48 and 47 aren't the same line. They may have similar lineage, but the development of the varieties was separate completely.

Yes it's possible, I have run the cherry pheno AK48 for a few years. Smells of cherry pop tarts when cured. You can snap a fan leave off and it reeks of sweet cherry goodness.

Most look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them about it, like AK47 is the ONLY Cherry Pheno out there.

It isn't.

that is awesome, sounds alot more cost affective phenohunting nirvana seeds vs serious seeds, although I've never seen serious seeds gear first hand my buddy tried some single seeds afew years back that were nirvana seeds and most just cracked open to reveal a orange gooey thing

yea just get the clone. You could drive anywhere in the US to Colorado then to find the real pheno. Be faster then trying to look for the pheno growing um all out.
