Autoflowering Seeds
Autoflowering Seeds have become increasingly popular over the last ten years, with many established and respected Seed Banks and producers developing their own seeds and strains. Many of the most popular Cannabis and Marijuana strains are now available as Autoflowering seeds, often replicating the original regular or feminized strain almost perfectly.
The original Autoflowering seeds such as Lowryder and Williams Wonder were considered by many indoor growers to be of low yield and quality, but times have changed and through selective breeding, not only have better Autoflowering seeds been produced, yielding more potent weed and better harvests, a new range of Super Auto’s have been created especially for the indoor grower.
Growing Autoflowering Seeds Indoors
Growing Autoflowering seeds indoors is very different to growing regular or feminized Cannabis seeds. Although both are forms of Cannabis, they grow and flower under totally separate conditions, while regular and feminized Cannabis seeds require the mandatory 12/12 light and dark hours to promote flowering, Autoflowering seeds begin flowering soon after they produce their first sets of true leaves.
Even under a Halide bulb emitting little red spectrum light, these young plants will begin to flower, and once they begin, the maturity countdown starts. You cannot vegetate Auto seeds, they grow and flower simultaneously, this is how the plant can go from germination to maturity so quickly.
In some respects this can be very useful, reducing the length of time a crop requires to go from seed to harvest will mean a faster turnover of the space, and more harvests per year, but, does more harvest mean more weed? Unless the plants are yielding similar amounts per square meter when compared to their feminized counter-parts, it’s unlikely.
Reducing the vegetative time reduces the amount of branches the plant can grow, for people using a Screen-Of-Green system, it is unlikely that you will see similar yields if you switch to growing Autoflowering seeds, However, Sea-Of-Green growers find Auto seeds perfect for their style of growth, as SOG growers wish to move from germination to flowering as soon as possible.
Autoflowering Seeds For Beginners.
Growing Autoflowering seeds indoors is probably one of the easiest ways to learn about growing Cannabis, apart from the difference in light hours, many of the rules of growing Cannabis indoors are the same. Nutrients, environmental conditions and learning how the plant grows and changes are similar, with Autoflowering seeds probably more forgiving due to the speed with which they mature.
Autoflowering Seeds For Experienced Growers.
Many experienced growers have experimented with Autoflowering seeds, and due to the knowledge and skill they already possess, have successfully grown a variety of strains both indoor and outside during the Summer months. Although Super Cropping techniques such as ‘topping’ are not recommended, many other techniques can increase your harvests dramatically. Sustained optimum environmental conditions are the key to success.
Autoflowering Seeds For Experts.
Expert Cannabis growers, who not only use Super Cropping techniques, but take it to the extreme and Monster Crop their feminized plants have often complained that many of the techniques they employ cannot be used to produce high yields from monster plants, due to the Veg/Flower time being simultaneous.
The latest addition to many of the Autoflowering Seed producers catologues are called Super Auto’s. These special Cannabis seeds maintain the characteristics of Autoflowering seeds, they flower regardless of light hours, but require a longer time to mature due to a brief vegetative period in which to grow and expand into a more bushy plant with several strong branches capable of growing and supporting heavy dense buds.
