Autoflowering
Cannabis variety that automatically enters the flowering phase after a few weeks of growth, without changing the lighting duration.
What is autoflowering?
Autoflowering refers to the ability of certain cannabis varieties to automatically enter the flowering phase after a defined growth period. Unlike photoperiod varieties, they do not require a change in lighting duration to trigger flowering.
How autoflowering varieties work
Autoflowering varieties generally begin flowering a few weeks after germination, even when the daily duration of light exposure remains unchanged. This characteristic comes from genetic lines adapted to environments where seasonal variations in light are limited.
The complete life cycle of an autoflowering plant is often shorter than that of a photoperiod variety. This particularity makes it possible to obtain a harvest within a generally shorter timeframe.
Cultivation and characteristics
Autoflowering varieties are cultivated both indoors and outdoors. They are often appreciated for their ease of management, rapid cycle and ability to flower independently of the light cycle used.
Today, there are numerous autoflowering varieties with varied aromatic profiles, growth structures and cannabinoid compositions. They represent an important category in the world of cannabis seeds.
