How to Grow Amnesia x AK47
Amnesia x AK47 crosses two legends of the seed world into one high-yielding, sativa-leaning feminized plant. It carries a smooth 17–20% THC, a bright citrus-and-diesel flavour and the classic haze character, finishing in 8–10 weeks with a generous harvest that makes it a favourite with growers who want quality and quantity.
The strain is a cross of Amnesia and AK47, pairing the uplifting haze heritage of Amnesia with the resinous punch of AK47. The result leans 70% sativa, so expect a taller, livelier plant than an indica, wrapped in frosty, aromatic buds.

Climate and Where to Grow It
Amnesia x AK47 is suited to a temperate climate with warm, mild days and a reliably long enough season for its 8–10 week bloom. Grown outdoors, it finishes around October, so make sure your region gives it enough warm, dry autumn weather to ripen fully before the cold and damp arrive.
Its sativa genetics make for an open, airy structure, which is a real advantage against mould, but the buds still get frosty and resinous, so keep humidity moderate through flowering and the airflow steady. At a manageable 1.5 m it fits both tents and gardens without too much height management.
Indoors it is happy at daytime temperatures around 68–80°F (20–27°C). A little extra space between plants suits its sativa stretch and keeps light reaching the lower buds, which helps that high yield come in evenly across the plant.
Growing Basics
As a feminized photoperiod strain, Amnesia x AK47 gives you virtually all female plants, so there is no need to sex your seedlings or cull males, which is one less job and a big reason it suits newer growers. You control the cycle with the lights rather than leaving it to the plant.
Run a vegetative stage under long days, usually 18 hours of light, then switch to a 12/12 light schedule to trigger flowering. Because of its sativa lean it will stretch after the flip, often stretching well beyond its veg height, so this feminized plant responds well to early topping and low-stress training to tame that stretch and spread the canopy before bloom really gets going.
Feeding Schedule (EC Guide)
Feed to the stage rather than the calendar, starting low and building up as the plant asks for more. The EC values below climb from a gentle seedling feed to a stronger bloom feed, then drop back for the flush.
| Stage | EC (mS/cm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Seedling | 0.4–0.6 | Very light feed, focus on healthy root growth |
| Vegetative growth | 0.8–1.2 | Raise nitrogen gently under 18-hour days |
| Early flower | 1.2–1.4 | After the 12/12 flip, shift toward P and K |
| Full flower | 1.4–1.6 | Peak bloom feed while the colas fatten |
| Flush | 0.0–0.4 | Plain water for the final 1–2 weeks |
Flowering Time and Harvest
After the flip to 12/12, Amnesia x AK47 flowers in 8–10 weeks. The strong sativa lean means it stacks long, resinous colas rather than the tight, chunky buds of an indica, and that elongated structure is part of where the high yield comes from.
Harvest when most trichomes have turned cloudy with a few amber for the fullest, most rounded expression, and give the plant a 1–2 week plain-water flush beforehand to clean up the final flavour. Indoors you can expect a big 1.15–1.64 oz/ft² (350–500 g/m²), a genuinely high return for a plant this easy to run.
Drying and Curing
Dry whole plants or branches in a dark room at around 60°F (15–18°C) and 55–60% humidity for 7–14 days, until the thin stems snap rather than bend. A slow, even dry protects both the resin and the sharp citrus-diesel aroma that makes this strain stand out.
Then cure the trimmed buds in sealed jars, burping them daily for the first week and letting them settle for three to four weeks. A proper cure sharpens the citrus top notes, mellows the diesel pungency and smooths the smoke, which is exactly what a haze-driven strain like this deserves.
What to Do With Your Trim
Don’t bin the sugar leaves you remove while manicuring. Amnesia x AK47 is a frosty, resin-coated plant, so the trim is great for dry sift, bubble hash or rosin, giving you a bonus run of concentrate from material most growers throw away.
Flavor and Terpenes
Amnesia x AK47 tastes of bright citrus over a pungent diesel base, a lively, sharp profile that carries the unmistakable zip of its haze heritage. The citrus lifts the nose while the diesel gives it that classic fuel-like depth underneath.
Four terpenes shape it. Limonene drives the clear citrus brightness; pinene adds a clean, resinous pine edge that sharpens the top notes; caryophyllene lays down a peppery, fuel-like warmth that feeds the diesel character; and linalool rounds it out with a soft floral note. Together they explain the citrus-and-diesel flavour without any need for extra flavouring.
Effects and Best Use
For all its sativa structure in the garden, Amnesia x AK47 is reported as a mellow smoke: relaxed, deeply soothing and deeply relaxing rather than racy. With its medium 17–20% THC it stays approachable rather than overwhelming, so it is easy to enjoy without tipping into too much.
That makes it a good choice for winding down and easygoing downtime, paired with a bright, moreish flavour that keeps it enjoyable. The medium potency and simple grow also make it a sensible pick if you want a big, aromatic harvest without a demanding plant to look after.
Common Problems and Pro Tips
Amnesia x AK47 is a rewarding grow, but its haze genetics bring a tall, stretchy plant with a loud aroma worth planning for.
- Manage the stretch: as a 70% sativa haze it reaches for the light after the flip, so give it headroom and train the tops early to keep the canopy even.
- Plan for the smell: its citrus-diesel aroma gets sharp and pungent in flower, so run a carbon filter if you need to keep the grow discreet.
- Be patient in flower: haze types take the full 8 to 10 weeks and build airy, open buds, so keep air moving and let it finish rather than cutting early.
Expert tip: the airy haze structure resists mold better than a dense indica, but it still rewards good airflow and a slow, careful cure to hold the citrus sharpness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amnesia x AK47 indica or sativa?
It is sativa-dominant, at 70% sativa and 30% indica, so the plant grows tall and airy with a classic haze structure, though the reported effect is relaxed and soothing. Because of that stretch, give it headroom indoors and train the tops early to keep the canopy even and well lit.
Is Amnesia x AK47 feminized?
Yes. These are feminized seeds, so you get virtually all female plants and do not need to sex seedlings or remove males. That keeps the grow simple and makes better use of your space, which matters with a stretchy haze like this one where every spot in the tent counts.
How long does Amnesia x AK47 take to flower?
About 8 to 10 weeks after the flip to 12/12 indoors. Grown outdoors in a temperate climate it finishes around October. As a haze type it uses the full window and builds airy, open buds, so keep air moving and let it finish fully rather than cutting it early.
Is Amnesia x AK47 good for beginners?
Yes. It is a forgiving, feminized strain listed among our beginner-friendly options. The one job to plan for is its sativa stretch: a little early training, topping or low-stress bending, tames the height and keeps the tops level. Do that and it rewards you with a high indoor yield.
What does Amnesia x AK47 taste like?
Expect bright citrus over a pungent diesel base with a classic haze sharpness. That profile comes from its limonene, pinene, caryophyllene and linalool. The aroma turns loud in flower, so run a carbon filter if you need discretion, and cure slowly to keep the citrus clean rather than harsh.
How much does Amnesia x AK47 yield?
It is a high producer indoors, at 1.15 to 1.64 oz/ft² (350 to 500 g/m²). Outdoors each plant brings in a more modest 2.12 to 2.82 oz (60 to 80 g), so this one earns its keep best in a tent or indoor space where you can control the canopy.
