It's important to know what autoflowering means to fully appreciate the advantages of growing this Cannabis strain. In the wild, marijuana plants are photosensitive. That means that the plant's transition from its vegetative phase into the flowering phase (when those delicious buds begin to develop) only happens when the amount of darkness at night (or the amount of sunlight during the day) changes with the fall season. The hours of uninterrupted darkness help the marijuana plant "know" that the weather will soon get cold, so it needs to start finishing up its harvest.

Autoflowering marijuana plants do not need the sun to begin the flowering phase. They will naturally transition after a certain amount of time, making them particularly useful for having a fast turnaround from germination to harvest, and they can be grown and harvested any time of year.

AK-47 Autoflower Origins

The AK-47 autoflower strain of marijuana is a sativa-dominant strain of marijuana, with three sativa parents and one indica parent. The three sativa parents' ancestors come from South America, Mexico, and Thailand. The indica ancestor, meanwhile, comes from Afghanistan.

The actual mystery of the AK-47 Autoflower strain is where the name comes from, although that question may never be answered. It originally showed up in the Netherlands during the beginning of the 1990s and since then has won a variety of prizes. In 1999 the strain won second place at the High Times Cannabis Cup for the best sativa strain of marijuana. It came in first at a Toronto Expo in 2010.

What are AK-47 Autoflowers

Once upon a time we only knew Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa plants. These are seasonal plants that start growing in spring and are ready to be harvested when days turn shorter - so towards fall. Indoor growers learned to imitate nature by manipulating this light cycle.

In the early '80s a third species, ruderalis, was brought to Amsterdam. This plant is a Cannabis relative that was discovered in Siberia. Breeders found that this ruderalis plant would flower after just a few weeks, regardless of changes in light. These ruderalis genes were combined with existing indica and sativa strains and the autoflower type was born. Nowadays you can find autoflower Cannabis seeds for all sorts of popular strains. They grow smaller plants but they're easier to grow and you can harvest much sooner than with photosensitive plants. Great for new growers, growing in a small space or if you want multiple harvests per season!
