Autoflowering cannabis seeds: Properties and advantages

What are autoflowering cannabis seeds?

Autoflowering seeds are popular because they are easier to grow than traditional cannabis seeds. They do not require as much attention and can be grown in a variety of environments, including indoors and outdoors. Autoflowering seeds are also typically smaller and more compact than traditional cannabis strains, making them easier to grow in small spaces or stealthily.

Properties and advantages: Autoflowering cannabis seeds are seeds that will automatically switch from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage, regardless of the light cycle. This means that the plant will flower and produce buds on its own, without the need to manually change the lighting schedule.

However, it's important to note that autoflowering seeds generally produce smaller yields and have lower THC levels compared to traditional cannabis strains. They also tend to 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. Their characteristics make them very suitable for indoor cultivation and low-stress training techniques such as ScrOG or SOG. However, they can also be successfully grown outdoors. Since they do not rely on the sun to flower, they can be grown all year round (depending on the climate), allowing growers to have multiple harvests 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. They are usually female, as autoflowering cannabis seeds are often chosen by beginners or growers who only want female plants (as they produce viable, i.e. smokeable, flowers). Therefore, it is rather counterproductive to deal with 50% male plants that could pollinate female plants.

Why buy autoflowering cannabis seeds?

There are many reasons why you should choose to buy autoflowering cannabis seeds. Among them are:

• Fast growth: some strains have a life cycle of only 49 days in total.
• Hardy: Ruderalis makes these strains hardy and easy to grow.
• Smaller plants: Many varieties only grow under three feet tall, making them a good fit for many growing spaces.
• Camouflage: Due to their small size, these plants are suitable for stealth cultivation.
• Autoflowering property: Since it is not dependent on photoperiod, growers are not bound to a specific light cycle.
• Simplicity: All of the above characteristics make growing these plants easy and enjoyable.
