Everything You Need to Know About Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds

In nature, there are a couple of types of cannabis plants, indicas and sativas. These types of cannabis are different, but they are also the primary natural types of marijuana. However, there is another naturally-occurring type of cannabis plant, Cannabis ruderalis. Ruderal species of plants are plants that grow quickly and robustly even in less-than-ideal situations. The name comes from the fact that plants of this type would be the first to grow out of land that had been ravaged or disturbed. It’s from the Latin for rubble. Ruderalis cannabis is not rich in THC, which is the psychoactive element of marijuana. As a cannabis plant, ruderalis species don’t give you what you want. However, they have the properties of ruderal species, and they also have the ability to autoflower. By breeding ruderalis with sativas and indicas, you can get autoflowering marijuana plants.

There is more to autoflowering plants than just the fact they flower based on age. They flower quickly, usually within two to four weeks. After that, they are ready to harvest faster than your typical marijuana plant as well. You can harvest most autoflowering marijuana plants in 10 weeks, sometimes as quickly as eight weeks. Autoflowering cannabis seeds also grow plants that are compact and denser. That means they take up less space. Growing your cannabis in limited room? Autoflowering cannabis seeds are great for that as well. There are a lot of benefits to autoflowering seeds, beyond the convenience of automatic flowering. While there are obvious benefits to beginning growers, even experienced growers will sometimes turn to autoflowering cannabis seeds for the convenience.

One of our all-time most-popular strains is Critical Purple, which we have available as an autoflowering strain. Without the ruderalis in the mix, Critical Purple is a pure indica. Even with the addition of ruderalis to make this an autoflowering strain, our Critical Purple comes in at a whopping 27 percent THC. That’s as strong as any other strain you will find. As an indica, Critical Purple is great for relaxation. It gives you a strong body high, and it can help you chill out and sleep. Many people with insomnia use Critical Purple to fight that. This is a plant that also provides quite the yield. Conversely, we have autoflowering cannabis seeds for the pure sativa Durban Poison as well. Sativas are energizing strains that give you a heady high. They are favorites of creatively-minded marijuana users and wake-and-bake enthusiasts. Want to battle stress, anxiety, or depression?
