Most of these tests come from one producer, so they may say more about that grower than the strain.
This is a small number of tests, so treat the range as rough.
Flower tested under this name in legal US markets, 2016–2017. The range covers the middle 90% of tests. Growers and labs vary, so a given jar can fall outside it. Data: Jikomes & Zoorob (CC0), Cannabis Wise Guys (CC BY 4.0), Cannlytics (CC BY 4.0).
About AK-49
AK-49 is a sativa selection from the AK-47 line. Known for earthy, pungent, woody aromatics.
AK-49 is a sativa selection bred out of the AK-47 genetic family. In breeding programs, it has served as a parent line for Russian Snow and Short and Sweet. It is recorded in state compliance flower testing in WA (2016 and 2017). Photoperiod cuts typically finish flowering in 11–12 weeks (~84 days) under indoor or greenhouse lighting.
Aroma and flavor
Jars of AK-49 are most often described as showing earthy, soil-like depth, loud, room-filling pungency and dry cedar and wood. Chemotype data points to peppery beta-caryophyllene, woody, hop-like humulene and bright, citrus-forward limonene as the primary aromatic drivers, with batch-to-batch variation depending on cultivation and curing.
Reported effects
Consumers commonly report an active, energetic lift, creative, associative thinking and clear-headed task focus, making AK-49 a frequent pick for daytime sessions, creative work, or social settings. The most commonly noted downsides are dry mouth.
