Cherry AK47 pheno

Thats proof of her age and of her lineage. I can confirm the late 90's AK from Serious to have always preflowered. Even found these Cherry phenos.

I have ran them a great deal and my second most run strain behind the cindy. You can try switching between 18/6 and 24/0. I assume you are on 18/6. Go to 24/0 for 3 days or so and then back. If you can put them under flos for a week that will do it too. Depending on how bad they pre flower they may speed up or just keep on growing if they are not bothered by it. Sometimes they will also stunt with preflowering and it can take a while to notice.
She doesn’t do much besides the preopo
Please share some pics before chop. I am interested in this one, but I have a bunch of old AK f2's I am still running thru.
you got it bud. If Any of you gents have IG feel free to follow. I am on there much more than here and I def wanna share the grow. Thanks boys. @THCity732

I recently got a Cherry AK from a friend 😎 so I am 7 weeks into my first flower with her... Oddly my mom didn't pre-flower (auto) for the first couple months, not until I messed with the lighting sched... strangely, it was only after going from 18/6 to over 24hr of light 🤨

Looking good Dutch. Is that the cherry you got from me?

Sure is... I just culled her, she is excellent but compared to modern (American) strains IMO she was lacking. I'm looking for the best of the best for breeding 💪
Have you done any crosses with her?

I always thought that Cherry ak was a great breeding tool. Adds weight, and a nice rigid structure to anything it touches. You'll even pull Cherry phenos out of whatever it touches.

I felt the pheno I had, had bland Dutch terps... other than that I've got no complaints, she throws a ton of pistils in veg, but that's certainly better than pollen 🤪
I am primary interested in breeding, so unless a plant has crazy terps or is just crazy potent I can't begin to think about crossing her.
Here are the crosses I currently have in flower:
I am using a Dosi22 male and an Urkle I sprayed with ElitexElite to pollinate my best and brightest 💪
and here is a pic of the Cherry AK which unfortunately I culled to use the space for tasty plants

That definitely looks nothing like the cherry ak I know of and have experience with. Definitely a different pheno than what I know.

Just throwing some knowledge out there that you might want to run with. ...

Targeted breeding is awesome but for some reason the crosses you think won't be special for some reason usually are. It's weird the way it works.

According to Adam Dunn the Cherry pheno could be found in about in about 1:999 (one in a thousand) seeds from packs of Serious' AK-47...Back in the day I heard to much more common, but IDK
Pplus I imagine like any other classic elites, there's quite a lot of fakes too...just look at Urkle and that was one of a kind seed/plant.
Sad that people like Mike/Bike from "Get Seeds Right There" ONLY sells fakes despite having access to legit genetics, he for some reason chooses to sell BS 🤥 Those type of people give zero fucks about the gene pool, $ is all that matters to them... the clandestine nature of how cannabis used to be really attracts scumbags-hopefully it's changing for the better, but with all the damn Auto flowers being pumped out IDK 🙄

I guess I'm just venting because I've gotten 2 faux King Louis XIII's in a row now, 😫 first was from Bike and the 2nd I guess was a labeling mix-up by Cloney, dude doesn't tag the plants themselves, which is just asking for confusion/mix-ups....he also sent me some kind of Headband instead of the VA Ghani I wanted.
Its a lot of damn work raising a plant, taking back-up clones and then flowering her just to find out it's wrong. I will be much, much more selective who I get clones from now on for a whole host of reasons...I chalk it up as experience that was necessary to get to where I'm trying be as a breeder 🤙

Cherry AK47 x Alien Kush, I got these seeds around 2012-ish.
Much more sativa than I expected, though her brother is more BLD.
Both have Ludens cherry cough drop stem rubs.
Im gonna make F2s. View attachment 19047716 View attachment 19047717
That alien kush really threw some funky phenos from what I remember. I'm a huge fan of the alien tech. I think that's where all the random expressions come from.
