Hi
This review is for Serious Seeds AK47 Auto (feminized). Overall I was quite happy with the results. Of the 6 the genetic was pretty consistent.
6 for 6 seeds germinated, no stalling, hermies , males or stuck flowering. From germination to finish it took 85 days quite close to the suggested 70 to 80 days!
4 of the 6 stretched a tad more (not badly though) while 2 stayed more squat.

The yield from 6 plants dried was 12.3 oz which was about 2 oz per plant in a slightly crowded tent in 3 gal pots. I really should have filled them to the very top with potting soil but didn't.whuch may have effected yield. Still I'm happy with the results.
Serious seeds stated 1.4 to 2.6 oz so I'd say that's pretty accurate.

From about day 55 on they developed a really nice smell sort of citrus like and sweet which just kept getting better. They withstood a touch of nute burn, a touch of deficiency (Cal mag) and my 7 day vacation w/out watering quite well so I'd say they're hardy and pretty easy to grow.
The smoke even with my rush drying one bud on a screen was pretty smooth with a good high energy , no dry mouth and a relaxed feel (not drowsy or couch locked).
If your looking for seeds especially as a beginner I'd say this is a great place to start.
Out of 1 to 10 (10 best) I'd say...
Easy of grow 9
Sturdy genetics 10
Yield as stated 10
Grow time as stated 9
Smooth taste 9
High energy relaxed smoke 9
No dry mouth or paranoia 10

Really this was what I was looking for in a sativa.
