Autoflower seeds are a type of cannabis seed that automatically transitions from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage without relying on changes in the light cycle. Unlike photoperiod plants, which need a specific ratio of light and darkness to flower, Autoflower plants are genetically programmed to flower after a certain amount of time, typically 8–12 weeks from germination.
These autoflowering marijuana seeds are ideal for growers seeking a low-maintenance option. Because they don’t require precise lighting schedules, Autoflower weed seeds are particularly suited for beginners, indoor cultivators, or anyone looking for a quick and discreet harvest.
Genetics - Autoflowering strains are derived from Cannabis Ruderalis. They combine the hardiness of Ruderalis with the potency and flavors of indica or sativa strains.
Harvest Potential - While autoflower plants may yield slightly less per plant compared to photoperiod varieties, their quick turnaround allows for multiple harvests in a single growing season.
Light Independence - Autoflower weed seeds thrive under a consistent light schedule (e.g., 18–24 hours daily), and this makes it attractive to all types of growers.
Growing autoflowering seeds offers several advantages, especially for beginners. They have a quicker growth cycle—from seed to harvest in 8 - 10 weeks—so you can get multiple harvests within a year. Also, they’re compact (within 1 - 1.2m in height), which makes them perfect for small spaces or discreet cultivation.
Since they don’t have specific light requirements, you can easily grow them indoors and outdoors and still get great yields! They’re easy to maintain and highly resistant to beginner mistakes.
Autos like the AK-47, Gorilla Glue, and Girl Scout Cookies are most sought after by our customers because of their high THC levels, fast growth, high yields, and well-balanced genetics. They’re also very easy to grow, have rapid growth, and are resilient to pests & diseases, which makes them popular among those who buy autoflower cannabis seeds. Let’s explore these strains in more detail:
On top of our list is the most-coveted Gorilla Glue Auto. This seed was bred from Gorilla Glue #4 and Critical Diesel Auto, which gives you a mix of relaxation and energetic effects. Both genes combined produce dense, sticky, and visually appealing resin-covered buds with a rich aroma for the best experience. Thanks to its autoflower genetics, the strain is very easy to grow and yields more harvest in less time — up to 550g outdoors!
Static, who bought this strain from our website, attests that it’s “healthy and strong. The smell of the flowers is so nice … I can't wait to see what will be at the end.”
AK-47 Auto is another top-of-the-line auto cannabis seed, with 21% THC and 1% CBD. It's a mix of the Indica, Sativa, and Ruderalis strains – which means you get all the classics in one cultivar! Once planted, it takes only about 6 - 8 weeks to go from seed to harvest.

Autoflower cannabis seeds are a unique type that automatically transitions from the vegetative stage to flowering without requiring changes in light cycles. Unlike photoperiod strains that depend on precise light schedules, autoflowers are genetically programmed to flower based on age, typically within 2-4 weeks of germination. This makes them an excellent choice for beginners and cultivators who want quicker harvests and less maintenance.
The fundamental difference between auto flowers and photoperiod strains lies in how they initiate flowering:
• Autoflower Seeds: Transition to flowering automatically, regardless of light exposure, completing their lifecycle in 8-12 weeks.
• Photoperiod Seeds require a specific light cycle (e.g., 12 hours of darkness) to flower and often take longer to mature.
Autoflowers are also typically smaller, more compact, and robust against environmental stressors, making them ideal for indoor spaces or outdoor gardens with variable conditions.
Autoflowers are widely regarded as beginner-friendly because:
• They require minimal expertise and care.
• They have a shorter life cycle, ensuring quicker harvests.
• Their resilience to pests, diseases, and environmental stress makes them forgiving for novice mistakes.
Yes! Autoflowers are versatile and adapt well to various environments:
Indoors: Controlled settings allow you to optimize light, temperature, and humidity, often leading to higher yields. Autoflowers thrive under consistent light exposure (18-24 hours daily).
Outdoors: Their independence from light cycles makes them suitable for year-round cultivation in mild climates. They perform well even in unpredictable weather conditions.
The entire lifecycle of an autoflower cannabis plant, from germination to harvest, typically spans 8-12 weeks. This rapid growth cycle allows multiple harvests per year, making autoflowers an efficient option for growers seeking quick returns.
Yields depend on the strain, environment, and grower expertise:
Indoors: Yields range between 100-200 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
Outdoors: Yields vary from 50-150 grams per plant, influenced by sunlight and climate.
Modern autoflower strains are bred to rival photoperiod strains in potency. Whether you’re looking for high-THC or high-CBD seeds, Weed Seed Express offers a wide selection of autoflower strains tailored to your desired effects and cannabinoid profiles.
To germinate autoflower seeds effectively:
1 Soak seeds in room-temperature water for 24 hours.
2 Place them between damp paper towels in a dark, warm environment until they sprout.
3 Transfer the sprouted seeds directly into their final pots to minimize transplant stress.
Autoflowers thrive with a tailored feeding schedule:
• Seedling Stage: Low nutrient concentration.
• Vegetative Stage: Balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels.
• Flowering Stage: Reduced nitrogen with increased phosphorus and potassium.
Use cannabis-specific nutrients and avoid overfeeding, as autoflowers are sensitive to nutrient burn. Follow our nutrient recommendations for optimal growth.
Pruning auto flowers is generally not recommended due to their short lifecycle. Instead, low-stress training (LST) techniques, such as gently bending branches, can be applied to improve light exposure. This maximizes yields without disrupting the plant’s growth.
Autoflowers are single-harvest plants, but their short growth cycle allows you to plan multiple grow cycles in a year, maximizing yield potential and efficiency.
Autoflowers excel in mild climates with consistent temperatures between 70-85°F (21 29- °C). Their resilience to weather fluctuations makes them adaptable to various outdoor conditions, even in less predictable environments.
To preserve seed viability:
• Store seeds in an airtight container.
• Keep them in a cool, dark, and dry location.
• Use silica gel packets to prevent moisture.
Proper storage ensures your autoflower seeds remain viable for years.
The best soil for autoflower seeds is light, aerated, and well-draining, with a slightly acidic pH of 6.0-6.5. Avoid compacted or nutrient-rich soil that can lead to overfeeding. A soil mix with perlite and coco coir enhances drainage and root development, ensuring your plants thrive.
Autoflower seeds perform best in pots ranging from 3 to 5 gallons. These sizes provide sufficient root space without overwhelming the plant. Fabric pots are especially popular because they improve aeration and prevent overwatering, promoting healthier roots and better yields.
Watering frequency depends on soil type, pot size, and environmental conditions.
As a rule of thumb:
Seedling Stage: Water lightly every 2-3 days, keeping the soil moist but not soggy.
Vegetative and Flowering Stages: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Overwatering is common, so always let the soil dry slightly between watering sessions.
