Automatic Cannabis Seeds are the latest revelation in marijuana breeding that has become massively popular over the last few years. Until the development of Auto Flowering ganja strains the typical skunk plant would grow according to the light cycle it was given or the season in which it was growing. If the Cannabis plant was given approximately 18 hours light indoors the plant would stay in a vegetative growing faze producing no buds until the light cycle is changed. Once the light is switched to 12 hours light and 12 hours dark the flowering process would begin and last 7-14 weeks until the plants would be ready for harvest. Automatic flowering cannabis seeds flower regardless of how much light they receive. Even if the plants only received 10 hours, 6 hours, 20 hours a day no matter what they will finish flowering in a specific amount of time based on their individual genetics.
Benefits to using auto Seeds outdoors
Automatic flowering cannabis seeds are good because they give you the ability to grow in much more dynamic ways. If for example you were growing outdoors in windy and wet climates, traditionally this would be quite difficult. With autoflowering marijuana strains this is made easier because you can time your harvest to grow only during the perfect summer months. Normal cannabis plants would finish in say September, October or even November when rain would have most probably killed them but auto’s may have finished as early as June or July if your timing was right. Another benefit to outdoor growing is that you can if you are clever get more than one harvest every year. In countries where weather is hot all year round you could get a harvest every 8-10 weeks if you’re clever. This is just one of the great benefits to using automatic flowering Ganja varieties.
Why use Automatic Seeds Indoors
Autoflowering cannabis genetics are a good choice for indoor cannabis cultivation for many reasons. One obvious reason a lot of people are choosing auto’s now are for their fast flowering times. A reduction of at least 2-4 weeks can be gained by switching to auto flowering marijuana plants. Another reason for switching to auto’s is for plant structure. Auto cannabis plants are generally much smaller and shorter than standard photo period marijuana plants and this can be highly beneficial when growing in an experimentally environment such as a vertical growing chamber or in a very small space with limited head room. Auto cannabis plants are highly adaptable and due to their Siberian rooted genetics they are built to be much more resilient than normal cannabis strains.
Where do Auto Strains come from?
Automatic flowering genetics known as Ruderalis were discovered by a scientist or botanist in northern Siberia back in 1942. Automatic Flowering Ruderalis plants grow in places where weather gets very cold in the minus 30 degrees Celsius regions of the northern hemisphere. Specifically these genetics known as Ruderalis grow in places which have long summers where they have for some periods of the season up to 24 hours daylight and it never gets dark. Evolution created these genetics to adapt to this change by changing its DNA and making these specific plants flower regardless of how much light they received. So due to this change in nature the cannabis plants adapted and became able to flower unlike any other cannabis plant on the planet, automatically.
