Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds

Auto-flowering marijuana seeds have a few additional benefits compared to traditional photoperiod feminized seeds. Firstly, auto-flowering cannabis plants have a faster growth cycle and can be harvested in as little as 8-10 weeks, which is significantly faster than photoperiod plants that require a specific light cycle to trigger flowering.

Secondly, auto-flowering cannabis plants are generally compact plants, which can be beneficial for growers who have limited space or want discreet outdoor cultivation. Autoflowering cannabis plants are also more resistant to pests and diseases than photoperiod seeds, which, again, can make them easier to grow for novice growers.

Autoflowering cannabis seeds are a popular choice for home growers. Here are some general tips and guidelines for growing auto-flower cannabis seeds:

1. Choose the right soil: Use high-quality soil that is well-draining and has a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.
2. Provide proper lighting: Autoflowering cannabis plants do not require a specific lighting schedule like a traditional female plant. However, they still need plenty of light to grow and produce good yields. Most indoor growers recommend providing 18 to 24 hours of light per day.
3. Feed your plants: Autoflowering cannabis plants do not need as much fertilizer as traditional cannabis plants. Start with a low dose of nutrients and gradually increase as needed.
4. Control humidity and temperature: Autoflowering cannabis plants prefer a warm and humid environment. Keep the temperature between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity between 40 and 70%.
5. Water your plants: Water your plants when the soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be careful not to overdo it.
6. Harvest your plants: Autoflowering cannabis plants typically take between 8 and 12 weeks to mature. When the buds are ripe and ready, cut them off and dry them before storing or using them.

It’s important to use a high-quality soil mix that provides the right nutrients, drainage, and pH levels for your female plant to thrive. Choose a well-draining soil mix as autoflowering cannabis plants don’t like to sit in soggy soil for long periods. We recommend a mix that contains perlite, vermiculite, or other materials that promote drainage.

The next factor to pay attention to is your soil’s pH levels. Autoflowering cannabis plants prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of around 6.0-7.0. Avoid soil mixes with very high or low pH levels, as this can interfere with nutrient uptake and plant growth.

If you’re new to growing cannabis or want to simplify your growing experience, you may want to consider using a pre-fertilized soil mix designed specifically for cannabis. These mixes typically contain all the nutrients your healthy plants need to grow and flower and can save you time and effort compared to mixing your soil.

Autoflower cannabis seeds can be a good option for inexperienced growers as they are easier to grow than traditional feminized seeds. For starters, autoflower seeds have a shorter growth cycle and produce smaller-scale plants that are ideal for indoor spaces or discreet growing locations.

What’s more, is that an autoflower seed is easier to maintain. Auto-flowering seeds tend to be more forgiving when it comes to mistakes in growing. They are generally smaller and easier to manage, and they don’t require as much attention as regular seeds.

No matter your level of growing experience, it’s key to buy your auto-flower strains from a reputable seed bank for the highest yield possible and a strong THC level. Online seed banks, such as Growers Choice, ensure that you receive high-quality seeds with every purchase.

The amount of weed produced by auto-flower seeds can vary greatly depending on various factors such as the growing conditions, genetics of the strain, and the expertise of the grower. On average, auto-flower seeds can yield anywhere between 20 to 200 grams of weed per plant. However, some experienced growers have reported yields of up to 500 grams per plant under ideal growing conditions.

It’s important to note that the yield of autoflower seeds is generally lower than that of photoperiod strains, which can yield up to 500 grams or more per plant. However, autoflower seeds have the advantage of being easier to grow and having a shorter life cycle, which can benefit some indoor or outdoor growers.

Autoflowering cannabis seeds typically take around 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. However, the exact time it takes for autoflowering seeds to grow can vary depending on various factors such as the genetics of the strain, growing conditions, and the expertise of the grower.

One of the advantages of autoflowering seeds is that they do not require a change in the light cycle to start flowering. They will automatically begin to flower after a certain amount of time, usually around 2-4 weeks from seed after germination. This means that autoflowering plants have a shorter life cycle than photoperiod cannabis plants, which can take up to 6 months to grow from seed to harvest.

Autoflowering plants tend to be smaller and produce smaller yields compared to photoperiod plants, but they are often easier to grow and can be harvested multiple times in a year. It’s also worth noting that there are now many different strains of autoflowering cannabis available, with varying growth rates, yields, and cannabinoid profiles, so it’s important to choose a strain that meets your needs and preferences.

Autoflower cannabis plants typically grow to be between 1 to 3 feet tall (30 to 90 cm). However, the actual height can vary depending on various factors such as the genetics of the plant, growing conditions, and how the plant is trained or pruned. Some strains may grow taller than others, and plants that are grown in optimal conditions with plenty of light and nutrients may also grow taller than those grown in less favorable conditions. It’s important to note that auto-flower plants have a shorter life cycle than photoperiod plants, typically around 8 to 10 weeks from seed to harvest, which can also affect their final size.

The first signs of cannabis plant flowering are the appearance of small white hairs, called pistils, on the plant. These pistils emerge at the nodes where the branches meet the main stem of the plant. Initially, they may be difficult to spot, but as they grow, they become more noticeable.

In addition to the appearance of pistils, the cannabis plant may exhibit other signs of flowering, such as changes in the shape and color of the leaves, and the growth of small, bulbous structures called calyxes. The growth of these structures is a key indicator that the plant has entered the flowering vegetative stage.

It’s worth noting that the timing and duration of the flowering stage can vary depending on the specific strain of cannabis and the growing conditions. Some strains may begin to flower after just a few weeks of vegetative growth, while others may take several months. It’s important for growers to be familiar with the characteristics of their chosen strain and to closely monitor their plants during the flowering stage to ensure a successful harvest.
