how can ak47 compete in the sativa and indica and hybrid category? seems a bit off. not trying to hate just dont understand how you can have the same strain entered into all three category?

honesty imo is the best form of advertising

Did Serious pick up the tab for this year's Cup, by coincidence?

AK-47 is 60/40 Sativa/Indica.

There are Indica and Sativa phenotypes. It could compete in either category.

For the fact you stated being a 60/40 mix, it could only be a hybrid. Just because there are sativa or indica leaning phenos doesn't make it one or the other, the genetic make up does.

The strain was created supposedly by columbia, mexico, and thai sativas, crossed with an afghani indica. Thus, if the reported lineage is correct, it should only correctly be labeled a hybrid. By taking two different species, a hybrid was created.

True. But, you could still enter it in either category. The categories in competitions are based on the individual phenotypes. Not the genetic lineage.

... Which is what I think happened over the years.

Fun guy to chat with, spent quite a bit of collective time over this last CC doing that. Very friendly and open. Glad to see they, and the AK47, are still hanging in there.

The problem with people's opinions of AK-47 is that there are so many different phenotypes. This leads people who smoke it once, or even a few times, to draw an inconclusive opinion on it. When people get AK-47 in a distribution facility in California they only get to try one phenotype and that phenotype might not even be close to being the best of what the plant has to offer. So, they try smoking that one mediocre phenotype and then give up on the strain completely, as a result.

The only people who really understand the true greatness of AK-47 are the people who grow it, or the people who are lucky enough to acquire a good pheno from a distribution facility when they first try smoking it. It's one of the most diverse strains out there. That's what I love about growing it. You get a variety of phenos to choose from when growing out a pack of AK-47.

AK-47 is my favorite strain to grow.
