About AK-47
AK-47 is one of the most awarded and recognisable strain names in the cannabis world, celebrated for its complex aroma and consistent quality. As a CBD hemp flower it keeps that heritage while being bred to be high in CBD and very low in THC. You can find our AK-47 CBD flower in the shop.
Aroma and flavour
AK-47 is known for a rich, complex profile: earthy and woody, with sweet and subtly floral, spicy notes. It is more layered than a simple fruity or purely earthy strain, which is part of why it has stayed popular for so long. To understand how these aromas form, see our guide on CBD flower aroma and flavour.
Appearance
AK-47 buds are typically dense and light green, with a generous coating of trichomes and plenty of orange pistils, giving them a classic, frosty, well-cured look.
Indica, sativa or hybrid?
AK-47 is a hybrid, often described as balanced and complex. For more on what those labels mean for hemp, read our guide on indica vs sativa vs hybrid CBD flower.
Who might enjoy it?
If you appreciate complex, layered aromas rather than one-note sweetness or simple earthiness, AK-47 is a great match. It is a true classic that suits anyone building a varied flower collection.
How to enjoy and store it
Store it airtight, cool and dark to preserve its complex aroma. See our storage guide for the details.
