Royal AK Powerful and fruity scent
The aroma of this strain is potent and fruity, making it ideal for smaller indoor setups, provided the overpowering scent can be managed. Renowned for its robust vigor and strong aroma, it stands at an average height.
The scent profile is a fusion of berry fruit, diesel fuel, and petroleum undertones, recognized for its remarkable consistency and reliable yields. Growers must exercise additional caution to control the scent when cultivating near others. Royal AK thrives equally well in both indoor and outdoor environments.
It boasts a unique and distinct flavor profile—sweet with hints of pine and a slightly aged undertone. This strain has earned its place among the most esteemed modern strains globally. Despite being labeled as a Sativa Dominant hybrid, it exhibits a considerable Indica influence, offering a balanced head and body high.
Popular and legendary cannabis strain
The popularity of Royal AK stems from its simplicity in cultivation, attracting both seasoned growers and novices alike. Its genetic legacy, AK-47, has continuously set standards in the cannabis realm, acknowledged for its robust qualities. Furthermore, its association with White Widow in the creation of Kalashnikova has contributed to an incredibly pure high, delivering a robust yet enduring Indica outcome.
This strain’s legacy as a robust and reliable cultivar has made it a cornerstone in the cannabis world. The distinct characteristics inherited from AK-47, coupled with the influence of White Widow in its genetic makeup, have solidified Royal AK as a favorite among those seeking a potent, enduring, and relatively easy-to-cultivate strain.
AK47: What’s in a name
Contrary to its name, AK 47 weed isn’t named after violence; rather, it’s a nod to its reputation as a ‘one hit wonder.’ After its introduction, visitors to Amsterdam’s coffee shops often found themselves dozing off post-smoke.
Its consistent quality makes it an excellent choice for commercial or home growers. Despite its sativa lineage, these plants boast a short flowering period, producing dense buds adorned with resin crystals and minimal leaves.
AK 47: A multiple award winner variety
AK 47 has garnered 16 awards in various Cannabis competitions, attesting to its popularity among growers and smokers alike. It delivers a robust, enduring, and enjoyable high.
At the Cannabis Cup in 1999, an independent lab test confirmed AK weed as having the highest THC percentage among all entries. Additionally, it received the High Times Indica Strain of the Year award in 2003 and secured the third prize in the ‘Hybrid’ category at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2011 in Amsterdam.
