AK-420 by White Label Seeds

AK-420 Strain Info

Born from legends, the AK-420 strain by White Label Seeds is a sativa-dominant firecracker with roots as wild and exotic as its effects—think Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghan landraces all coming together for a global cannabis lovechild.

It's their personal twist on the iconic AK-47, but with its own rebellious vibe and a flavor that punches harder than your favorite playlist on full volume.

These are feminized cannabis seeds, which means you won’t waste time or space on any unwanted males crashing your grow party.

AK-420 grows like that friend who looks chill but surprises everyone with their energy—medium height, lush foliage, and bursting with potential.

The plant forms long, open-structured buds covered in bright orange pistils and frosty trichomes that sparkle like diamonds in the sun.

It's a hybrid that leans sativa in personality, but with just enough indica in its DNA to keep things grounded and easy to manage.

Flowering Time & Yield

The flowering time is quick and efficient—just 50 to 65 days—which is a dream come true if you're the impatient type or looking to squeeze in multiple harvests a year.

Indoor growers can expect plants between 80 and 140 cm (2.6 – 4.6 ft), with generous yields reaching 450 to 500 grams per m² (15.9 – 17.6 oz).

Outdoor? She stretches a bit more and rewards you with over 550 grams (19.4 oz) per plant when the sun’s on your side.

She fills out evenly across her branches, making her a visual delight when her lime green buds start to fatten up and catch the light.

Effects and Aroma

If you’re chasing inspiration, this strain is your new muse.

Uplifting, cerebral, and creatively energizing, AK-420 has that classic sativa buzz that keeps your head in the clouds, while the indica side whispers, “relax, you’ve got this.”

It’s the perfect smoke for diving into a painting, writing lyrics, or just vibing with friends under the sun.

The high kicks in smooth, starts behind the eyes, and spreads like wildfire through your brain—suddenly, everything’s a little funnier, a little brighter.

The aroma? It hits you in waves—deep earthy notes first, then a punch of pine, followed by a twist of citrus and a trail of exotic spices and sandalwood.

Open a jar of AK-420 and it’s like stepping into a hidden forest café where someone’s brewing caramel coffee with flowers on the table.

The flavor mirrors the scent but adds layers—sweet, floral, with a woody finish that lingers like a favorite memory.

It’s not just a strain—it’s an experience from the first puff to the last ash.

Our Growing Tips & Why We Love It

One thing we love about the AK-420 strain is how it finds the sweet spot between performance and personality—she’s easygoing but never boring.

We’ve seen her shine both indoors and outdoors, but if you’re lucky enough to live in a warm, sunny climate—think Mediterranean vibes—she’ll absolutely thrive.

Outdoors, give her a spot with plenty of direct sunlight and she’ll return the favor with chunky, lime-green buds covered in glittering trichomes.

She handles humidity pretty well, but it’s best to avoid overly wet or tropical conditions where mold might creep in.

In terms of pests, she’s moderately resistant to common threats, but keeping good airflow and removing lower leaves during mid-growth will help you stay ahead of any issues.

For indoor growers, she responds beautifully to SOG (Sea of Green) techniques and doesn’t demand much in terms of nutrients or fussiness.

The growth is bushy, so don’t be shy with a bit of defoliation to open up light paths and air circulation through the canopy.

We’d rate her difficulty as easy to medium, making her a great pick for newer growers who want to level up or seasoned cultivators looking for low-maintenance, high-yield results.

What really stands out for us? The balance—short flowering time, big yields, and just enough character to keep things exciting without being unpredictable.

AK-420 FAQ

Is AK-420 sativa or indica?

AK-420 is a sativa-dominant strain, with a genetic breakdown of 65% sativa and 35% indica.

That means it leans toward uplifting, cerebral effects typical of sativas, while still offering the body relaxation and bushy growth traits of indicas.

Sativas usually grow taller, with airier buds and longer flowering times, and are known for energizing, creative highs.

Indicas are shorter, stockier, and often preferred for their calming, physical effects.

AK-420 strikes a solid balance—mentally stimulating with a smooth, laid-back finish.

How long does AK-420 take to flower?

AK-420 has a medium flowering time of 50 to 65 days, which is fast for a sativa-dominant strain.

This allows for quicker turnarounds and even multiple harvests in one season if conditions are right.

What’s the average yield of AK-420?

Indoor growers can expect between 450 and 500 grams per m² (15.9 – 17.6 oz), while outdoor plants often push past 550 grams (19.4 oz) per plant.

To maximize yields, proper lighting and airflow management—especially defoliation—can make a big difference.

Can beginners grow AK-420?

Yes, AK-420 is suitable for both beginners and experienced growers thanks to its forgiving nature and adaptability.

It doesn’t demand intense maintenance, and it responds well to basic training techniques like SOG or defoliation.

Does AK-420 have good resistance to pests and mold?

AK-420 has moderate resistance to pests and mold, but good airflow and a dry environment help keep issues to a minimum.

It’s important to monitor humidity levels, especially during flowering, to prevent bud rot or mildew.

What climate is best for growing AK-420 outdoors?

AK-420 prefers warm, sunny climates—think Mediterranean-style weather with long summers and plenty of direct light.

In cooler or more humid regions, it’s best grown indoors where you can control the environment more closely.
