Autoflowering cannabis seeds: Properties and advantages

Why buy autoflowering cannabis seeds?

Properties and advantages: There are many reasons why you should consider buying autoflowering cannabis seeds. Autoflowering seeds are characterized by automatically switching from the vegetative to the flowering phase regardless of the light period. The plant will flower and produce buds on its own without the need to manually adjust the lighting.

• Rapid growth: Some strains have a total life cycle of just 49 days.
• Resilience: Ruderalis genetics make these strains resilient and easy to grow.
• Smaller plants: Many strains grow to under a meter tall, making them well-suited for smaller growing spaces.
• Discretion: Due to their smaller size, these plants are suitable for discreet cultivation.
• Autoflowering trait: Since they are not dependent on the photoperiod, growers are not bound to a specific lighting cycle.
• Simplicity: All of the above features make growing these plants simple and enjoyable.

What are autoflowering cannabis seeds?

Autoflowering cannabis seeds are a popular choice among growers because they are easier to cultivate compared to traditional cannabis seeds. This type of seed requires less attention and can be grown in various growing environments, both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, autoflowering seeds are typically smaller and more compact than traditional cannabis strains, making them ideal for cultivation in small spaces or hidden areas.

However, it is important to note that autoflowering seeds generally produce smaller yields and {landingpage::68|linktext:lower THC levels}} than traditional cannabis strains. They also have a shorter lifespan and may not be suitable for all growing situations.

Compared to their photoperiod-dependent counterparts, autoflowering cannabis seeds tend to produce fast-growing, robust, and compact plants. Due to their traits, they are well-suited for indoor cultivation and stress-free training techniques like ScrOG or SOG. However, they can also be successfully grown outdoors. Since they are not dependent on sunlight to flower, they can be grown year-round (depending on climate), allowing growers to harvest multiple crops in a single season.

Are all autoflowering cannabis seeds female?

In most cases, yes, but not always. Although the vast majority of autoflowering cannabis seeds are fully feminized, there are also some regular cannabis seeds on the market. Since autoflowering cannabis seeds are often chosen by beginners or growers who only want female plants (as they produce viable, i.e., smokable, flowers), they are usually female. It would be counterproductive to deal with 50% male plants that could pollinate female plants.
