green plants on soil

Autoflowers are modern cannabis strains that require little effort from the grower. This type of cannabis grows quickly and can be harvested as little as three months after auto-flowering seeds are planted. The vegetative stage of auto-flowering lasts 2-4 weeks; the rest of the time is spent in flowering, during which resinous buds with an abundance of trichomes and a high concentration of THC are formed on cannabis branches.

Autoflower yield and more

Growing auto-flowering cannabis strains from Herbies is recommended for beginners, as well as for growers who are not ready to spend a lot of time on plants or cannot wait a long time for a harvest.

Among auto-flowering hybrids, growers will be able to choose between Sativa or Indica-dominated varieties crossed with Ruderalis.

The crossing has improved the quality of plants, namely:

  • Growing old-school, well-known varieties has become easier, their immunity has improved, and the ripening time has decreased.
  • Cannabis is no longer dependent on the light cycle and can now be controlled by the grower.
  • In addition, by crossing Ruderalis and Indica varieties with Sativa varieties, breeders have been able to develop many new hybrids that amaze the grower with their taste and aromatic qualities.

At first glance, photoperiod marijuana outperforms auto-flowering marijuana strains in terms of yield per bush and potency. However, if we take into account the speed of development of autos, the difference is significantly smoothed out. As long as one photoperiod plant develops, an auto-flowering variety can produce twice. Growers are constantly working on developing new autos that have a high THC concentration and are as potent as photoperiod varieties.

Growing auto-flowering cannabis varieties allows you to harvest in just two to three months. This means that a fresh harvest from autos can be enjoyed up to six times a year.
