Can you get AK-47 in edibles, oil, wax, or shatter?

AK-47 is available in dried bud, oil, wax, shatter, and edible form. This is because you can make any strain into any form provided you know the method. Making edibles is probably the easiest; you simply have to heat your weed up to activate it, mix it with fat, and then cook it normally. It really is that simple and also simple with a strain like AK-47. Though, the AK-47 strain is definitely one to try through a flower vape.

AK-47 Growing Tips

AK-47 is a large growing plant with white hairs and sticky trichomes. While it has a distinctly skunky, earthy smell, the tasting notes are sweet and floral. AK-47 is a strain better grown indoors, although it may be grown outside in milder climates with temperatures staying below 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

AK-47 Yield

It is recommended that AK-47 be grown indoors, as it will have higher yields of 3-6 oz. per square foot. AK-47 is moderately challenging to grow, as temperatures need to be between 60 degrees and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If temperatures are too high, the buds will begin to open and the final product will become fluffy. Therefore, indoor hydroponic or pro-mix mediums produce the best results.
