Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds

What Is Autoflowering Cannabis?

Autoflowering seeds are a unique type of seed that have been bred using Cannabis Ruderalis genetics. This gives them the unique ability to start flowering based on age, rather than relying on changes in light cycles like their photoperiod counterparts. This shortens the vegetative and flowering stages, reducing the seed to harvest time giving you much faster results. Thanks to their genetics autoflower plants exhibit hardiness, fast growth, and require less maintenance. All of which makes autoflowering seeds ideal for those that want to maximize yields efficiently while not worrying about managing complex lighting schedules.

The Origin and Development of Autoflowering Genetics

The genetics of autoflowering seeds can be traced back to Cannabis ruderalis, a type of cannabis plant native to Russia and Eurasian regions. These plants evolved in colder climates with shorter growing seasons, so as a survival adaptation they developed the ability to flower automatically based on age rather than light. Breeders have since crossed this subspecies with indica and sativa strains to create the modern autoflowering strains we stock at MSNL that not only flower quickly but also offer higher THC levels, bigger yields and better aroma.

Benefits of Growing Autoflowering Cannabis Strains

• Shorter Growth Cycle: Unlike photoperiod strains, which can take months, autoflowers can be ready for harvest in just 8 to 12 weeks, allowing for multiple harvests in a single season.
• Easier Cultivation: Won’t need to worry about adjusting light schedules—the plants will flower automatically making them very beginner friendly.
• Compact: Autos are small and compact making them perfect for growing in small spaces such as a balcony or a grow tent
• Resilient Genetics: Thanks to their Ruderalis background, autoflowers are hardy, making them well-suited to indoor or outdoor growing in various climates, including colder regions.

Select The Perfect Autoflowering variety

Indica dominant autoflowers are shorter making them perfect for indoor grows, they provide a relaxing effect that is often used for stress relief or sleep.

Sativa dominant autoflowers are taller, making them more suited to slightly larger indoor or outdoor grows. They have a more energizing, creative and uplifting high.

We also have a range of hybrids that offer a balance between sativa's energy and indica's calm.

How to Grow Autoflower Plants Successfully

• Light Schedule: Autoflowers grow best on an 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle, ensuring they receive enough light for optimal growth while allowing for sufficient recovery time.
• Environmental Control: Maintain a stable grow room temperature between 68-77°F (20-25°C) and aim for a relative humidity of 40-60% and ensure you have good airflow to reduce the risk of pests and diseases.
• Nutrient Management: Start with a low nutrient schedule, gradually increasing it as your plants grow, keeping in mind that autoflowers require fewer nutrients than photoperiod plants.
• Low-Stress Training (LST): Using techniques like bending and tying can significantly increase yield without stressing the plant.
• Growing Medium: Use a well-draining growing medium like light, airy soil that allows the roots to spread easily. If using premade potting soil, make sure it does not contain too many nutrients.

Autoflowering Cannabis: Explore The Beginner-Friendly Choice

Autoflowering seeds are ideal for beginners. Their resilience, compact size, and quick life cycle make them easy to manage, especially indoors. With shorter veg and flowering periods, they offer the ideal choice for those new to marijuana cultivation.

Harvesting and Yield Potential

If you’re looking for maximum yield, try Acapulco Gold, Big Bud or Tangerine Dream. These high-yielding strains deliver impressive amounts of bud, making them perfect for growers looking for a larger harvest.

Under the right conditions, autoflower plants can yield anywhere from 30 to 100 grams per plant, with larger varieties producing up to 200 grams. Some growers, particularly those using the Sea of Green (SOG) method, produce yields of up to 500 grams per square meter.
