Kong 47

Kong 47 Cannabis Seeds by Dr. Underground

Kong 47 is a feminised cannabis seed strain that crosses Dr. Underground's own King Kong with an original cutting of Serious Seeds' AK-47 — two heavyweights bred into one fast-finishing, high-yielding hybrid. Flowering wraps up in just 49–56 days, and the resin production is genuinely impressive for such a quick turnaround. If you know AK-47's dank, skunky profile, imagine that threaded through with King Kong's citrus and fruit notes. That's Kong 47.

Why Kong 47 Feminised Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Grow Room

There are strains that look good on paper and then fall apart in the tent. Kong 47 isn't one of them. Dr. Underground built this cross around two parents that already had serious reputations — King Kong for vigour and resin, AK-47 for its battle-tested reliability and that unmistakable dank funk. The offspring inherits the best of both: explosive vegetative growth in the first weeks, followed by dense, trichome-coated bud development that fills out properly before the 8-week mark.

We've seen growers underestimate how pungent this one gets. It's not a subtle plant. The skunky, acrid smell starts building well before harvest, and without proper carbon filtration, your entire floor will know about it. That's the honest limitation here — Kong 47 demands odour management. If you're running a tent in a shared space, plan your extraction setup before you pop these seeds, not after.

The upside? Yields that punch well above what you'd expect from a 49–56 day flowering window. Dr. Underground bred this strain to produce, and the vigorous branching structure means it responds well to training techniques like LST or SCROG. The resin coverage on mature buds is thick enough to make it a solid candidate for extraction too, if that's your thing.

Kong 47 Flavour and Aroma Profile

The smell hits you first — a thick, skunky wave that's unmistakably AK-47 territory. Get closer and you'll pick up the King Kong side: a citrusy, almost tropical fruit sweetness sitting underneath all that dank. When dried and cured properly, the buds carry a tangy, slightly sharp edge on the nose that's genuinely distinctive.

The flavour follows the same map. On the inhale, it's that familiar AK-47 earthiness — deep, musky, a bit acrid. The exhale is where King Kong shows up with fruit and citrus notes that round out the profile into something more complex than either parent alone. It's not a candy strain. It's a proper, old-school dank flavour with a modern fruity twist. If you've been growing AK-47 cuts for years and want something that evolves that taste without losing the character, this is the one.

Kong 47 Grow Characteristics and Specifications

Kong 47 puts its energy into vegetative growth first — expect vigorous stretching and strong lateral branching in the opening weeks. Once flowering kicks in, the plant shifts hard into bud production, stacking dense, resinous flowers along every branch. The overall structure makes it a natural fit for SCROG setups or anyone who likes to take cuttings — the branching pattern practically invites it, and clones root reliably.

Kong 47 Compared to AK-47 and King Kong Seeds

If you're already familiar with either parent, here's how Kong 47 stacks up. This isn't about which strain is "better" — it's about what fits your setup and preferences.

Kong 47 finishes faster than either parent and pushes resin production that rivals King Kong. The trade-off is that pungency — it's louder than both parents combined. We'd pick Kong 47 over a straight AK-47 if speed and yield are your priorities and you've got your carbon filter sorted.

How to Grow Kong 47 Feminised Seeds

1. Germinate your Kong 47 seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a starter plug. Taproots typically emerge within 24–72 hours at 22–25°C.
2. Transplant seedlings into their vegetative containers once the first true leaves appear. Kong 47 grows vigorously from the start, so give it room — a 7–11 litre pot is a good starting point for indoor grows.
3. During the vegetative phase, take advantage of the strong lateral branching. Apply low-stress training (LST) early to open up the canopy and encourage even light distribution across all bud sites.
4. If you plan to take cuttings, do so during late veg. Kong 47's branching structure produces healthy clone candidates, and the genetics carry over reliably.
5. Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering. Expect the stretch to continue for the first 1–2 weeks of flower before bud production takes over.
6. Install or verify your carbon filter before mid-flower. The skunky aroma builds rapidly from week 3 of flowering onward and will be impossible to contain without active filtration.
7. Harvest at 49–56 days of flowering. Check trichome colour with a loupe — milky white with a few amber heads is the standard target for this strain.
8. Dry in a dark, ventilated space at 18–21°C and 55–60% humidity for 7–10 days, then cure in sealed jars for at least 2 weeks. The citrus and fruit notes develop properly during the cure.
