Cannabis seed variety AK® classics

Since its inception, this classic strain has steadily gained popularity and continues to attract devoted followers. Its storied history was crafted with the explicit aim of securing a place among the cannabis legends. Originating in the 1970s, its exceptional potency quickly established it as a benchmark in the industry—a status few crosses have matched or surpassed to this day. Despite its name potentially misleading laypeople to think of a military reference, it actually pays homage to one of its parents, the pure Afghan Kush. In that era, pure strains were accessible to passionate globetrotters who collected them from remote corners of the world, though such varieties are far rarer today.

The original hybridization of this exceptional strain involved pure sativas from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, and Afghanistan. Seasoned breeders dedicated years to crossing and refining these strains, culminating in the creation of this classic in the 1990s. It leans towards a light sativa dominance and thrives equally well indoors and outdoors, continuing to captivate growers.

This strain has significantly influenced cannabis breeding, contributing to numerous subsequent generations of crosses. It boasts an impressive tally of over twenty awards from prestigious cannabis cups. Buddha Seeds has meticulously preserved the most accurate rendition of the original strain in its selection of classics.
