What are Autoflower Seeds?
Autoflower produces very different cannabis than photoperiod Marijuana Seeds. Photoperiod cannabis plants will only flower if they receive certain hours of light.
Plants grown with Autoflowering Seeds do not rely on a light schedule. Autoflowering cannabis will usually start flowering within 3 - 4 weeks of germination.
Why Grow With Autoflowering Marijuana Seeds?
Compared to other Marijuana Seeds For Sale, Feminized Autoflowering Seeds have many advantages.
- Beginner-friendly. Autoflower plants won’t tolerate much stress or injury but they grow fast enough to lower the chances of anything catastrophic.
- Small and discreet. Autoflowering plants rarely grow taller than 3 feet and can easily fit inside grow cabinets and other tight spaces. A more discreet option for private cannabis growers.
- Lower THC content. Autoflower cannabis plants have lower average THC levels. Don’t worry! Scroll down to see our top THC-rich Autoflowering Strains. The gentler psychoactive effects of autos suit those with low THC tolerance.
- Autoflowering plants CAN produce large harvests. Autoflowering plants don’t yield as much per plant as your average photoperiod Marijuana Seed. The advantage lies in the speed. An auto will produce multiple yearly harvests, often outperforming photoperiod plants over a season.
Autoflower Seeds: How much they produce
Your autoflower yield depends on your harvest time and the autoflowering genetics of your Marijuana Seeds. Indica-heavy autoflowers tend to produce smaller fruitage than sativa-heavy autos.
Sativa-dominant Autoflowering Strains are also known as super autos. Traditionally, super-autos can deliver 2 to 4 times bigger yields than standard Autoflower Seeds.
The cannabis research of our breeders and those of other weed seed banks moves at breakneck speed. When trying to gauge how much yield you will get from your Autoflowering Strains, you need to think long-term.
Autoflower Seeds deliver multiple yearly harvests
A case in point: Homegrown Cannabis Co. stocks two versions of Amnesia Kush. You can buy Amnesia Kush Feminized Autoflower Seeds which produce up to 28 ounces per plant. Or you can choose Amnesia Kush Autoflower Marijuana Seeds which yield anything up to 12 ounces per plant.
With the photoperiod Amnesia Kush your top yearly yield is 28 ounces. A good yield, no question. But with three harvests of Autoflower Seeds in the same year, your overall yield could be a whopping 36 ounces.
Multiple harvests, multiple throws of the dice
With three cannabis grows in the same season you can improve your technique, adjust the nutrients and perfect the environment. With a single yearly harvest all of your eggs will be in one basket. As will any mistakes.
How To Grow Autoflowering Seeds?
There is no need to think about the light schedule (photoperiod) when growing Autoflower Strains. One schedule and one lamp are enough for the entire growth cycle.
The most popular light schedule is 18/6 (18 hours light and 6 hours dark). You can push this to 24 hours without harming the plant or productivity although the electricity bill might hurt your wallet!
There are varying schools of thought when it comes to growing Autoflowering Strains. Some auto cannabis growers think the plants benefit from the period of rest with an 18/6. Other growers give them maximum light for as long as possible.
Pro tip: always do what works for you.
Autoflowering Strains are beginner-friendly. You still need to follow the basics of cannabis cultivation. These pointers should help you get the best from your autoflower harvest. We will expand on these autoflower grow tips later in the article.
- Growing environment: Autos thrive in warm and dry conditions with temperatures ranging from 75 to 86°F. Relative humidity levels are best kept at 40 to 50% to prevent mold and mildew.
- Stress: Autos struggle to recover from stress or injury. When wounded, the plant's energy is focused on repair rather than growth. This is not good news for yields. Avoid high-stress training (HST) methods. Use low-stress training (LST) sparingly and very, very carefully.
- Autoflower nutrients: Autos are small plants that spend little time in the vegetative growth phase. They don’t need a lot of nutrients. Feed them lightly and go easy on the nitrogen.
Harvest the buds sequentially by snipping the top colas first. Let the lower buds fully develop before your next harvest session.
Autoflowers prefer lighter, more aerated soil than you would use to grow feminized photoperiod cannabis plants. Perlite is a fantastic way to improve drainage and airflow.
What is the optimal temperature and humidity to grow autoflowers?
Your grow room needs to be kept around 21°C (70°F) for the best results. Anything much higher or lower can lead to growth problems and plant stress.
Your autoflowers need relative humidity (RH) levels of 40–50%. This can be a little higher for young autoflowering plants. Once in flower keep the RH levels to 40%. This will reduce the risk of mold, mildew, and stress.
What kind of nutrients do autoflowers need?
Buying Autoflower Seeds lowers the cost of your nutrients. Auto plants are smaller and less demanding than their feminized photoperiod cousins.
When using commercial cannabis nutrients give your autos around a half or a quarter of the recommended dose. Pre-fertilized commercial potting mixes are ideal. You won’t need to feed your autoflowering plant until the third or fourth week of growth.
What kind of water is best for autoflowers?
Autoflower Seeds have different requirements to photoperiod Feminized Seeds. Autoflowers are smaller and have a more compact root system. They need less water than larger feminized photoperiod plants.
The key is not to overwater. Allow the soil to almost dry between waterings. Cycling wet to dry is a good system for both Autoflowering Strains AND photoperiod plants.
When growing autoflowers in soil the optimum pH level is 6.0 – 7.0. The pH level can be optimized for autoflowers by using natural products such as pH up and pH down.
Can you train Autoflowers?
Photoperiod cannabis plants love nothing more than High-Stress Training (HST). Growers can employ plant training techniques such as super cropping, FIM, topping, and defoliation to massively boost yields.
This is not a good idea for feminized autoflower plants. HST involves damaging the plant to make it grow back stronger. Autos do not have the time to grow back.
The only training that works with auto flowers is low stress (LST). Bending branches to expose more bud sites is fine. Do not break the branches and do not cut or pinch any part of the auto cannabis plant.
What is the best way to germinate Autoflower Seeds?
Germinating Autoflower Seeds follows exactly the same process as germinating Feminized Seeds or regular Cannabis Seeds. Learn how to germinate Autoflower Seeds by watching our germination guide.
How to plant Autoflower Seeds?
Before planting your Autoflowering Strains, you need to germinate them. The best germination method for autos is the same as for photos. Please see our full germination guide above.
When your Autoflowering Seeds have germinated it’s time to prepare your pots. Red solo cups are a great example of a small starter pot. Try to avoid using jiffy pellets as the roots will need space to grow.
The first job is to fill the pots with your chosen soil. Leave an inch gap from the top to stop soil from spilling out and water the soil in preparation. This is the only time you’ll water until the sapling appears. Watering while the taproot is still getting established can cause problems. It can displace the germinated seed.
Make a small indent in the soil with the tip of your finger, around a centimeter deep. As central as possible. Lower the seed into the hole with the taproot facing down and loosely cover the hole with soil. Leave it under your grow lamp for a few days. Soon it will pop up through the soil and spread its first leaves. After letting the sapling develop a little you need to transplant it to the final pot.
Tip: don’t let it establish itself too much, 6 days is the longest it should stay before transplant.
When you transplant Autoflowers to their permanent home you’ll need to choose your pot size relative to flowering time. A two-month (8 weeks) flowering time will need a 1.5-gallon pot. A three-month (12-week) flowering period will need a larger, 3-gallon pot.
Again, fill the flowerpots with soil to within an inch or two from the top and water. Compact it a little if you want but not too much. Your plants need to expand their root ball and take oxygen and water from the soil.
The transplant process is the same for Regular Marijuana Seeds. Make a hole in the top big enough to fit both the roots and part of the trunk. When planted, you want 2 inches from the top of the soil to the first set of leaves. Water again once your transplant is complete but only around the edges of the pot.
