Today, breeding of autoflowering strains of cannabis plants is gaining in popularity. In the market new strains and auto flowering half breed seeds are available and these seeds are preferred by a lot of breeders.

When we consider about the auto flowering cannabis seeds, these seeds would be able to grow into fully flowering in more lenient conditions in comparison to cannabis plants typically need. Growing of normal marijuana typically requires well regulated lighting, generally starting with approximately 18 hours of light & 6 hours of dark at the same times daily during vegetative stage & shifting to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark for inducing the flowering stage.

In case of auto flowering seeds, these seeds can grow in constant light and doesn’t require any alterations to the set up in order to induce the flowering stage. This process is much simpler, giving beginners a far higher success.

While cultivating an Autoflowering seed, you simply require planting the seed, leaving it in a position where it has constant and 24 hours a day light. In addition to this, you need to keep the soil moist by watering it in regular basis. Without much of care, auto flowering plants will just be ready for harvest in a short period of time. You will get to see the flowering stage in three-four weeds. But it depends on the types of seeds you are using and the conditions it has grown in.

At the initial signs of the flowering stage, you require changing the light bulb to a flowering bulb as this will help the process along. After you have changed it, you can harvest the plant in two weeks. Currently, many of the breeders are trying to create new as well as hybrid strains of cannabis seeds that will auto flower. One common process to achieve this is by growing an established auto flowering male plant and cross breeding it with female plant. But one thing is that, it will produce a very low % of auto flowering seeds. But with constant breeding of these can result higher and higher numbers of auto flowering seeds.

For growers, autoflowering seeds are a better option to get fast crop under most different conditions as well as in most different locations,  indoors coltivazione or outdoors coltivazione.
