Should I Buy Autoflowering Seeds?

Although many people know cannabis buds grow on plants, a large proportion do not realize how easy it can be to cultivate. The amendments to the laws regarding the growing, possession and use of Cannabis for recreational purposes, now allows all Canadian residents the right to grow and enjoy their own buds, without the need for a medical card.

While some people have taken advantage of these changes to the laws, many more are reluctant to try, fearing disappointment, wasted time and expense. Growing your own Cannabis should be a fun experience, especially with no laws prohibiting its cultivation for personal use, and while some strains can be more difficult to successfully grow than others, there are many high-quality seeds available, perfect for new and the  inexperienced alike.

If you’re looking for a quick and simple way to grow your own Cannabis, we recommend you buy Autoflowering seeds. Completely feminized, guaranteed to produce the finest female plants, Autoflowering seeds defy the usual rules of growing Cannabis, while producing buds with similar traits and characteristics as traditional Feminized or Regular Cannabis seeds.

The Advantages With Autoflowering Seeds

The development of Autoflowering Cannabis seeds over the last decade has driven their popularity to new heights, especially with the plants acceptance and legalization in Canada and many US States. Unlike traditional feminized Cannabis, these Autoflowering strains have two distinct advantages, which make them a far more popular choice for many small, personal growers.

Autoflowering Seeds Mature Faster From Seed.

If you’re just beginning to imagine enjoying your own buds and relaxing with your favorite flavors and aroma’s, you’ll probably wish you planted a seed a couple of months ago. However, it’s never too late, and that’s especially true if you grow Autoflowering seeds.

All Autoflowering strains contain a special gene, found within a wild form of Cannabis called Ruderalis. It’s the inclusion of these genetics that change a feminized seed into an Autoflowering feminized seed. Unlike traditional strains which have separate vegetative and flowering cycles, these strains combine both stages together, reducing the time the plant takes from sprouting to maturity to an absolute minimum.

With no control over the length of time you grow your plants before inducing flowering, harvest times are pretty much accurate, so a strain with a 10 week flowering period will grow from seedling to complete maturity and be ready to harvest in a total time of 10 weeks.

Traditional Cannabis strains also have an approximate flowering time, usually between 8 – 10 weeks, but they also need time to develop, before you change to a flowering regime This can add several weeks onto the total time the plant requires before harvesting, making Autoflowering seeds and strains a much better option for those growers looking for a quick and easy harvest.

Autoflowering Strains Flower From Seedlings.

The main reason these Cannabis seeds are called Autoflowering is because of their ability to flower, bud and fully mature, regardless of the number of light or darkness hours the plants receive. Traditional Cannabis seeds switch from their vegetative state to flowering as the number of light-hours they receive decreases. Cultivated outdoors, these plants will grow until the daylight hours decrease to approximately 12 hours per day.

As the daylight hours decrease and number of darkness hours the plants receive increases, a chemical change takes place within traditional Cannabis plants, switching them from a vegetative state into flowering mode. Indoor growers induce this change by changing the light-cycle to a 12/12 on-off regime.

Autoflowering seeds break these rules, requiring no set hours of sunlight or darkness to grow, flower and mature. Instead, these seeds begin to flower almost as soon as they start to grow, producing small white flowers which quickly turn to buds in the later weeks of the plants life. Complete maturity occurs regardless of the number of darkness hours, with the plants age determining when it is ready to harvest.

Cultivated outside, Autoflowering seeds produce their biggest and best harvests when subjected to long hours of bright sunlight. Indoor growers should set their lights to an 18/6 on-off cycle to achieve the best results.However, unlike traditional strains, Autoflowering seeds will still bud and completely mature under any number of light hours, even constant light, making them the perfect choice for planting indoors by a window or outside on a balcony or patio.

Autoflowering Plants Can Be Grown Together.

If you choose to grow traditional feminized seeds you will have to take into account the plants two separate life-cycles. Outdoor growers will have to wait for the daylight hours to natural decrease to induce flowering, will indoor growers will have to adjust the number of hours their lights are on to induce the start of flowering.

Because of the plants needs for two different light-regimes, it’s impossible to have young plants in a vegetative state growing in the same area as those in flower. This means seeds must be cultivated together as a crop, or in a separate area, before moving them into the flowering room or area.

Even with separate vegetative and flowering rooms it would be difficult to produce more than 6 crops per year, as most Cannabis strains require at least 8 weeks in flower. Because Autoflowering can grow and flower under any lighting regime, a single room is all you will need to cultivate these Cannabis strains indoors, setting the lights to an 18 hours on light-cycle.

Young Autoflowering Cannabis seedlings can be introduced into the growing area at any time, remaining there until completely mature, around 8 – 10 weeks later. This allows growers the opportunity of introducing a new seedling every time a mature plant is removed, providing a constant source of high-quality, fresh Cannabis to enjoy.
