Regular Autoflower Seeds – Why Grow Regular Autoflower Seeds?

When they first appeared a few decades ago, regular autoflower seeds caused quite a stir with cannabis growers. Their revolutionary new capability to start flowering independently of the light schedule meant that cultivators didn’t have to keep changing the light or dark settings like they did with photoperiod strains.

Autoflower Seeds, these days, non-feminized autoflowers can match the potency and yield of their photoperiod sisters and brothers. Their fixed life cycle means that there’s no need to alter the light/dark cycle, so growers don’t have to worry about a lot of the common problems that plague indoor and outdoor grows such as molds and pests.

Another advantage of these kinds of hybrids is their small size, making them ideal for smaller indoor and outdoor grows. In addition, they tend to be much tougher than their 3-4m tall photoperiod counterparts and are a popular choice for guerrilla growers, as their short, bushy structure makes them easier to hide in poly-tunnels or greenhouses.

Autoflower Seeds: The Ultimate Choice for Easy Growing

As with all plants, these autoflowers do best in well-maintained and stable conditions. So, they should be grown in a large pot and fed with specially made organic nutrients to optimise their growth. Regularly pruning and trimming the plant will help improve air circulation, reduce the risk of fungus/molds and promote good flowering. The use of aerated grow containers is also important to prevent waterlogged roots during bloom. Aim for a 20/4 or 18/6 light schedule from autoflower seed to harvest, increasing the nutrients and light levels as the plants mature.
