My first hybrid strain grow was...

For me, it was back in the late 90's and it was the old classic AK-47 strain. Then autos and feminized did not exist. And most of the time we just had 50% of females blooming and it was considered a good crop for old growers like me. If I recalled the level of THC was between 11-14 % very potent in those days loll. So what was your first hybrid ?

And now well you have a choice of "AK-47" hybrid strains so many to choose from loll Now well I'm trying the Kali 47 from Advance Seeds two wonderful hybrids crossed together. :)


The History of AK-47


This predominantly Sativa hybrid lineage is believed to go back all the way to the ‘70s where it originated from a cross between Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landraces (all Sativa except Afghani), resulting in a 65% Sativa strain. This strain had between 13-16% THC and 1.5% CBD which was considered quite high back then, although compared to recent strains is considered average.

However, the strain didn’t come into existence until the early ‘90s. Rumors are Simon, a biology student from Amsterdam who found it as an unnamed strain in 1992 and continued to develop it further until 1999 when he made it available for purchase on his own website.

The unnamed strain was nicknamed “one-hit wonder” and soon received its official name: AK-47.

The name was given not because it was a “violent” strain, but even though being a very balanced strain it would literally knock out less experienced smokers with just one hit. Soon enough AK-47 became one of the most awarded cannabis strains in history winning many Cannabis Cups and more than 127 awards worldwide thanks to its very high THC content of more than 20%.

Nowadays it's seen as a “Top Cannabis Strains" that every cannabis enthusiast should try it at least once.

Thanks. I am pondering a perpetual grow. I've got several NL auto seeds and some OG Kush auto.

I researched the best I could and these were both suggested by breeders and growers as very good for first time growers. The Kush and NL have about the same stats for grow, flower time and height so that's my plan.

I did become interested in the AK 47 though as a future grow once I get these fundamentals down.lol
