● short stature. The average height of the bush is from 60 to 80 cm;
● accelerated onset of the flowering stage. The time of harvesting the first crop after planting occurs in 7-9 weeks;
● automatic flowering 3 weeks after planting, almost regardless of the length of daylight hours;
● harvesting on the same site several times a year.
Autoflowering marijuana seeds are almost invisible when grown indoors or planted outdoors. A short ripening period makes them the best solution for regions with a short warm and sunny season.
In addition to multiple harvests throughout the year and ruggedness, the benefits of autoseeds include disease resistance.
Growth features
Marijuana autoflowers develop significantly faster than regular marijuana strains. The duration of the vegetative period is on average 2-3 weeks, and the duration of the full cycle is from 10 to 12 weeks. When growing seeds indoors, the process can be further accelerated or higher yields can be achieved.
For best results when growing indoors or on a balcony, it is recommended to plant the seeds in a 10-14 liter main pot. This will help prevent forced repotting as the plant grows and the associated stress.
Watering and fertilizing parameters are determined taking into account the individual characteristics of a particular variety. Note that autoflowers need less fertilizer than photoperiod plants. In most cases, it is enough to initially plant the seeds in high-quality soil rich in nutrients. As the bush grows, you can additionally use organic top dressing.
