Auto Flowering Seeds - The Facts
Auto flowering seeds are a type of cannabis seed that are genetically programmed to start flowering (producing cannabis buds) automatically, regardless of the light cycle they receive. This is in contrast to photoperiod-dependent cannabis strains (what we refer to at Aztech Genetics as Feminised Seeds), which require a specific light cycle (usually 12 hours of darkness) to initiate flowering.
How Auto Flowering Seeds Work
The autoflowering trait in cannabis plants is derived from a cannabis subspecies called Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis ruderalis naturally grows in regions with short summers and limited sunlight, so it developed the ability to flower based on its age rather than relying on changes in light cycles. Breeders have crossed cannabis ruderalis with other cannabis strains to create auto flowering cannabis seed varieties.
Autoflowering Seed Characteristics
The main characteristic of auto flowering seeds is their ability to enter the flowering stage after a certain number of weeks, typically around 2 to 4 weeks from germination. This makes them much faster than photoperiod strains, which may require several weeks of vegetative growth before initiating flowering.
Auto flowering plants also tend to be smaller in size compared to photoperiod strains. They usually reach a height of around 1 to 3 feet, making them suitable for growers with limited space or those who require more discreet cultivation. However, it’s worth noting that there are now auto-flowering strains available that can grow larger if desired.
