Auto AK-47 Xl by Divine Seeds
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Ak 47 Xl is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Divine Seeds, building upon the renowned AK-47 lineage. This cultivar is engineered for enhanced plant size and yield within a swift, compact growth cycle. It offers a balanced genetic profile suitable for various cultivation environments.
Appearance and Morphology
Plants typically range from 70 to 120 cm indoors and 90 to 140 cm outdoors, featuring a robust central stem and several strong lateral branches. The moderate internodal spacing allows for good light penetration, supporting dense flower development. Leaves initially broad and medium-green, gradually narrow, and may display subtle golden or lime hues late in flower, while sugar leaves become heavily frosted.
Mature flowers are characterized by a chunky, conical shape, heavily coated in resin. Pistils transition from cream to deep orange as harvest approaches, and trichome heads are abundant, giving the buds a silvery appearance. The high calyx-to-leaf ratio contributes to relatively efficient manicuring.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile is a complex blend of classic AK spice and woody notes, complemented by fresh citrus and sweet herbal undertones. Initial vegetative aromas can be green and peppery, evolving into more defined cedar and black pepper notes during pre-flower. Peak bloom intensifies this into a layered mix of warm spice, dried herbs, and subtle floral-citrus top notes.
When handled, the buds release a sweet, honey-like herbal tone with a crisp pine scent. Grinding the flowers amplifies the profile, introducing hints of sour orange zest and a faint earthy musk. These aromatic qualities are attributed to terpenes such as caryophyllene, humulene, limonene, and pinene.
Effects
Auto Ak 47 Xl is reported to produce a cerebral effect, providing a noticeable lift. The strain's balanced genetic heritage suggests a nuanced experience that combines uplifting qualities with potential relaxation.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This hybrid exhibits a THC content ranging from 15% to 25%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is noted to include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, and humulene. These compounds contribute to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor characteristics, as well as its overall effect profile.
Cultivation
As an autoflower, Auto Ak 47 Xl completes its life cycle from seed to harvest in approximately 70 to 85 days, typically under 18 to 20 hours of daily light. It is considered robust and climate-resilient, performing well in shorter growing seasons. Indoor yields can range from 450 to 600 g/m², while outdoor yields per plant are typically between 90 to 200 g.
The plant structure is amenable to low-stress training techniques applied early in its growth cycle, promoting multiple main colas. Staking or netting may be beneficial later in flower to support the weight of resinous buds. Its genetic background from ruderalis ancestors contributes to hardiness and adaptability to fluctuating temperatures.
Origins and Lineage
Auto Ak 47 Xl is an autoflowering cultivar created by Divine Seeds, derived from the original AK-47 strain. Its lineage incorporates ruderalis genetics to enable automatic flowering, alongside indica and sativa landrace influences. The 'XL' designation signifies a focus on increased plant size, lateral branching, and flower density compared to earlier autoflowering versions.
The breeding process involved multi-generational selection to enhance biomass and resin production while preserving the characteristic AK-47 flavor and psychoactive profile. This approach aimed to overcome the yield compromises sometimes seen in earlier autoflowers, resulting in a more productive and reliable cultivar.
