Serious Seeds reports AK-47 grows to medium height with few leaves and produces fat, dense clusters of large, resin-frosty colas in a 56-63 day flowering period. Its THC content has been tested as high as 21.5%, and the strain reportedly emits a strong odor during growth.

The breeder reports the strain is easy to grow, both indoors and out, responds well to hydroponic systems, and reaches maturity around October 15 under natural light. Feminized plants may require an extra week of flowering, and may grow shorter than non-feminized plants.
