Autoflower Cannabis seeds

Autoflower cannabis strains are renowned for their ease of cultivation and rapid growth cycles, making them a favorite among both novice and experienced growers. Let’s explore deeper! 

What Are Autoflower Cannabis Seeds?

Unlike traditional cannabis strains, Autoflower Cannabis seeds bloom automatically. This trait makes them a top choice for beginners, as they do not require changes in the light cycle for flowering.

• Ranging between 60-100cm in height, these plants are perfect for confined spaces, offering a discreet growing solution.
• Ready for harvest in just 8-10 weeks, these seeds enable growers to have multiple yields within a single season.
• These seeds are available in various hybrids, combining the best traits of famous photoperiod strains.
• These plants grow quickly, require less space, and thrive with minimal nutrients.
• Perfect for balconies, terraces, or even windowsills, they adapt well to various environments.
• From high-THC to low-THC levels and a range of flavors, there’s a strain for every preference.

Growing Guide for Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cultivator, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you grow healthy and high-yielding autoflower cannabis plants:

1. Where to grow Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

• Indoor Cultivation: Provide 18-24 hours of light daily, maintain a temperature around 21°C, and keep humidity at 50-60% during vegetative growth, reducing to 40% during flowering.
• Outdoor Cultivation: Plant your autoflowers from February to September. Make sure to avoid frost. Plant new seeds every two weeks for continuous harvests.

2. Soil Requirement for Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

Autoflowers are fast and easy to grow, but they need the right soil to shine. Here’s a simple guide to creating the perfect soil mix for your autoflowers:

Easy Autoflower Soil Mix:

• Peat Moss (3 parts): This keeps the soil airy and helps roots grow strong.
• Compost (3 parts): Adds slow-releasing nutrients to feed your plants.
• Perlite (2 parts): Make sure the soil doesn’t hold too much water.
• Vermiculite (1 part): Helps hold the right amount of moisture and keeps soil temperature steady.

Quick Tips:

• Pot Size: Autoflowers like cozy spaces. A pot of around 11 liters is usually just right.
• Planting: You can plant seeds straight in the pot or start them in a small tray and move them when they’re 1-2 weeks old. Planting directly is easier and avoids disturbing the roots.
• Feeding: Autoflowers don’t eat much. Use half the nutrients you’d use for regular plants, and adjust if needed.

3. Water Requirement for Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

• Perfect pH: Keep water and nutrient solutions at a pH of 6-7. This lets your plants absorb nutrients well.
• Moderate Watering: Since autoflowers have smaller roots, overwatering can harm them. Water only when the soil is completely dry.
• Spotting Thirst: Wilting or slow growth can mean your plants need water. But always check the soil first to avoid overwatering.

4. Nutrient  Requirement for Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

• Light on Nutrients: Autoflowers don’t need as much food as regular plants. Use about half the nutrients you would for other strains. Too much can harm them.
• Pick the Right Food: Use nutrients made for autoflowers. They have just what your plants need to grow strong and healthy.
• Careful with Water: Autoflowers have small roots, so they don’t need a lot of water. Wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Overwatering can hurt them more than underwatering.

Key Tips:

• Check pH Levels: Keep the pH of your water and nutrients around 6-7. This helps your plants get all the nutrients they need.
• Watch Your Plants: Look out for signs like yellow leaves or slow growth. They tell you if you need to adjust your feeding or watering.

 5. Climate  Requirement for Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

• Ideal Temperature: Aim for around 21°C (70°F). Avoid too hot or too cold – think Goldilocks, just right!
• Humidity Levels: During growth, they like 50-60% humidity. But when flowering, they prefer drier air, around 40%.

Tips for Perfect Growing Conditions:

• Good Ventilation: Helps manage humidity and keeps the air fresh.
• Misting: A light spray in the morning can help during the growth stage, but do just what is necessary.
• Plant Placement: Grouping your plants can naturally raise humidity in a dry room.
