Autoflowers: how to grow cannabis fast

What is the fastest way to grow cannabis? Of course it’s fun to grow your own weed, but it takes a while before you have something to get high on. So what is the fastest way to grow a plant? 

To get your cannabis plant to grow quickly (and properly) you need the right equipment. But we have another tip for you: autoflower cannabis seeds. 

Autoflower

In nature cannabis plants flower, or produce buds, as autumn approaches and the sun sets earlier and earlier. Less light activates the flowering phase and triggers the production of buds. Growers who grow their plants indoors can regulate the flowering cycle by manually reducing the daily amount of light that plants receive. 

Autoflower cannabis plants growing outdoors, offering a quicker and easier way for beginner growers to harvest their own cannabis.

But there is a strain of cannabis called Cannabis ruderalis that has evolved differently due to harsh conditions, and will automatically begin flowering after a set time. For example, by default to three weeks, regardless of whether the light changes. So the plant starts flowering automatically, hence the name ‘autoflower’. 

What’s in it for you? 

Autoflower seeds are perfect for beginner growers, as they are easier and quicker to grow. You don’t need expensive equipment and you can plant them outside, since you’re not bound to the light of a certain climate. So you can easily hide the plants among the other greenery in your garden.
