Description
Although its name is a reference to a weapon, the AK-47 autoflower is pleasantly sweet. The Ak-47 autoflower marijuana strain is extremely popular, despite the name. There are many awards to recognize its quality and popularity.
To fully enjoy the benefits of autoflowering, it is important to understand what this means. Photosensitive marijuana plants can be found in the wild. The plant can only transition from its vegetative phase to their flowering phase when it experiences more darkness at night or more sunlight during the day. The marijuana plant is able to “know” when it will get colder by having continuous darkness. It needs to finish its harvest.
Autoflowering marijuana plants don’t need to be in the sun for their flowering phase. They will naturally transition after a period of time. This makes them very useful for quick turnarounds from germination through harvest.
