I find that odd as everyone I read who has grown it loves it..........

Namaste':leaf:
I agree with you, Ive grown and love it. But its been a staple for so long that people say "meh pass me the pineapple express or NYSD or mango" or
some new hybrid vs a old tried and true hybrid like AK47. Maybe just my perception, but I love it (my perception and AK47)!

Excellent looking AK!!! I think Ak-47 has gotten kind of a bad rap over the years but I've found it is the better than average in a lot of the categories. This helps prove it!! Great grow and thanks for the knowledge, HB!
How does it have a bad rap? I believe it's Serious Seeds' most award winning strain. Additionally, a lot of other breeders have knocked it off or have created hybrids out of it. If someone is disappointed in their AK47, it was either grown poorly or not the real strain from Serious seeds.

EDIT: just saw your response. Personally, it would be hard for me to get tired of a potent, social sativa that smells like mangos and ginger.

wait a minute...wtf?? sorry I am really baked on bf's lsd and that threw me...lol...sorry:eyesmoke:
Reading Rainbow was hosted by Levar Burton years ago and he'd always do these childrens book reviews at the end of the show. After he talked about how good the books were, he'd always say "...but don't take my word for it". Implying that we should read the books and decide for ourselves.

Ok, so the smoke report is in and I've tested the final product myself as well. The thing is, I really don't like where this forum is headed and can't stand the bad info and shitty grows that come from a lot of the trolls around here. Basically, there are a lot of people on here that I don't like and don't want to help. For those of you who would like my impressions of Great White in hydro, send me a PM and I'll cut and paste my write up to you. Cheers guys and thanks for following along. We should be seeing some smoke reports from a few members in early April.

My seedbank of choice is seedboutique as they are quick and 100% reliable. AK47 is a great strain but Kali Mist is their top of the line strain, IMO. Not meant for commercial production for your patients as the flowering times are about 11 week at a minimum but the high is really something. I recently picked up some of their Chronic too and have 11 seedlings at the moment.

A big thanks to Illumination and Upthearsenal for the AK47 reviews. The reviews are cut-and-pasted below:


Illumination:

Strain: Serious Seeds AK - 47 Homebrewer style...lolBag

Appeal: 8....beautiful light green with red/orange hairs everywhere..TRICHES nice and thick making it look pale to white even inside the bud..consistency nice and firm but not rock hard...exactly the texture I most prefer

Smell: 10 ..... Citrusy Peachy scrumptious awesome full bodied aroma....ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT

Taste: 8 incensy tart at 1 st ....tangy peachy on exhale...nice and smooth not harsh...but if you get greedy will make you erupt in coughing from the expansion.

The High: 7.5 creeper high ... electric in tactile ...closed eye visuals...helped pain to a good degree...very well suited to jamming some good tunes

Comments : In Summary a superb herb of excellent quality... taste is nice aroma is awesome...absolutely love the smell...potency is above average just too mellow for my particular taste...I love the intense heart racing what others call paranoia inducing high and this isn't that...but if you like a clear electric but chilled out and relaxing and very enjoyable high/stone that really works for tunes then you will love this


15:22 - beginning preparation for smoking...

16:03 - lighting joint


16:29 - 1/2 joint smoked....beginning to feel it coming on...real creeper and I really like creeper weed...centering in the area of my sinuses and behind the eyes...clear headed...all head so far...lil to no body...really liking it


16:41 - really nice electric feeling all over skull including face...thoughts clear but slowing and going "deeper"....a chillness relaxing warm feeling...not lazy by any means...just relaxed...some visual changes...things seem to shimmer...when locked into a stare things seem to have some indistinct movement...noting a pronouncement of high pitched sounds...things seem to sound brighter and they also seem to linger a bit...really enjoying this....


16:53 joint completed; 3 pipe hits as well: this is a really interesting high...I say high because I feel high not stoned...but totally relaxed...no heart racing which I like but is ok as this is so nice in its own right


17;27 bowl completed ...very high and some stone...thoughts clear but slowed to a nice flow...going crank some tunes to see about the aural aspects


18:55 Steely Dan's Aja sounded superb and was quite moving with closed eye visuals and pristine spatial elements....


In Summary a superb herb of excellent quality... taste is nice aroma is awesome...absolutely love the smell...potency is above average just too mellow for my particular taste...I love the intense heart racing what others call paranoia inducing high and this isn't that...but if you like a clear electric but chilled out and relaxing and very enjoyable high/stone that really works for tunes then you will love this



So there you go my friend ...I thank you for the oppurtunity to rate your stuff and it is of the utmost quality and man you nailed the smell on this... I woulda sworn it was grown in soil!!!

Serious Seeds AK47

Firstly, the bag appeal on this sample is high, very frosty. Immediately when you see it you notice the copious amounts of resin. It's not too fluffy and the nug has a very nice structure. When you break it up with you fingers they stay stinky for quite sometime.

The aroma is absolutely intoxicating, in my personal opinion this is a GREAT smell, one of the best. It's very fruity, almost like mangoes... this is the type of ganj I smell every opportunity I get. The bud is moderately fluffy and only slightly leafy, and I personally have grown sativas that produce MUCH more leafy buds than this.

After taking the initial rip my first impressions on the taste were that it is not nearly as strong as the smell. It's a mild, lingering taste that is somewhat representative of the flower. It's not a harsh smoke at all, but not the smoothest. I can take a nice heavy rip without coughing too much. So although mild, the flavor is good.

Once I exhaled my mind was instantly tingling, and the high isn't overpowering, but it's reasonably strong after a few tokes, with solid sativa characteristics and no indica crash whatsoever. For me, it wasn't a one hitter, but for someone else with a lower tolerance I can imagine it could/would be. And maybe given my tolerance the high doesn't last as long, but if this were my harvest and/or I had ounces of it I'd be smoking it ALL day long. The high is of moderate duration, lasting around an hour.

I am a huge fan of the smell and high, this bud would be great for a day outdoors, plus it seems to produce a good yield. It's extremely frosty and the medicinal properties of the ganja are good, it's very uplifting, and I think this could help out with any anxiety I might have.

Sidenotes: I prefer this bud in small chunks for the bong as opposed to ground up. Grinding it up releases the smell significantly though. I eat a lot of fruit and to me this seems to smell much like mangos, yet there is an underlying smell that I can't quite put my finger on. I asked a friend what she thought and she said it smelt like "minty peaches", but personally I think its more mango. Also, one thing I personally didn't like was the heavy crackle the bowl had when well lit. Although, this could subside with a more significant cure.

Final Evaluation (1 out of 10):
Aroma: 9.5
Taste: 7.5
Initial Effect: 8.5 - 9
Overall Effect: 8.0
Bag Appeal: 9.0
Overall Impression: 8.7

Mangoes and ginger, hmmm... I wonder if ginger was that underlying smell I was thinking of.
