Origins and Lineage
AK47 Auto is an autoflowering version of the classic AK-47 strain, bred by incorporating Cannabis ruderalis genetics. The original AK-47 is a multi-award-winning hybrid with a lineage often traced to Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landraces. The addition of ruderalis genetics provides the automatic flowering trait, shortening the overall growth cycle while aiming to preserve the original's desirable characteristics.
