What are autoflower cannabis varieties?
Autoflowering, also known as "autoflower", cannabis strains differ from traditional (photoperiod) plants primarily in that they do not flower based on the length of the light cycle but rather automatically after a certain period from germination. This means you don’t have to reduce the daily light hours to transition them from the vegetative phase to the flowering phase. As a result, the total cultivation time is shortened, and these strains generally reach harvest faster—something both novice and experienced growers appreciate. Autoflowering cannabis is typically low-maintenance and hardy, tolerating various climates and forgiving minor grower mistakes.
