Did you keep the ak47? I was looking for some old school strains does it compete with quality of all the newer hype strains?
Yes, it sure will. I know a local man who grows the old school AK47, it was a cut he had selected years an years ago, still got mommas till this day. It is actually stronger than most of the new hype strains these days. One thing I can tell you for sure, is these new hype strains may look, smell and taste better considering they are caked in trichs, but that does not matter one bit. Even if the THC is sky high...
I have smoked many old school strains that's around 15 to 20% thc that would blow the legit gorilla glue 4 cut I had last year out of the water, for sure. A lot of it is not just about THC, but other important compounds that alter the chemical profile such as terps and other alkaloids...
Grow it out, see for yourself. I remember some old school strains that hardly had any trichs on them at all, thinking man this is shitty weed... Fired it up and WOW, blew me away almost to the point of wondering if were in fact laced. And it wasn't, cause a lot of it was grown by myself. Then, I have had plenty of new age strains that was frosty out the ass that just didn't do much at all for me.
Regardless, AK47 is known for its wicked strong high... Very potent flower. Make sure you get the beans from serious though, no knock offs... Unless you wanna look around for a new school breeder in America that is using selected phenos found from serious seeds ak runs.. Old school is coming back my friend, look at all these people using the old school MSS super skunk, sssc skunk #1, 88g13hp, skelly hash plant etc...Just to name a few. People are missing that old school face smashing high.
