About AK-47
A four-way hybrid from the early 1990s, built for a sativa-leaning effect on an indica flowering schedule.
AK-47 combines three equatorial sativas with Afghani material, which is what allows a sativa-dominant character to finish in a commercially practical time.
It has been widely used in breeding and appears behind a number of later cultivars, often without acknowledgement.
