Or perhaps you are ready to grow a new batch of autoflowering cannabis plants?
Whatever the reason, we have selected a top 5 of the best autoflower strains, based on their unique features, reviews from our customers and a shortlist of our own favorite autoflowering seeds.
Best autoflower strains 2023 – TOP 5
1. Amnesia Haze x Blueberry Autoflower
This solid hybrid is heralded for its delicious fruity taste. As the name already spoils, Amnesia Haze x Blueberry autoflower's flavor is like a handful of blueberries, sweet like honey on a summer day. But don't let her sweetness fool you, when growing her inside she can deliver up to 500 grams per square meter, especially if you treat her well. This also means she might not be the first cannabis plant to grow. Yet, if you have some experience with growing cannabis seeds, she will give you everything you want from a well-balanced hybrid strain.
Due to the harmony of indica and sativa, the high is both uplifting and relaxing at the same time. All of this together makes Amnesia Haze x Blueberry autoflower one of the most popular autoflower strains. Some of our customers are going more than 5 times to the Amnesia Haze x Blueberry well.
2. Amnesia Haze Autoflower
No, you are not seeing double, we also added the regular Amnesia Haze Autoflower to this list. One might wonder why, as this strain has been around for a while. Yes, Amnesia Haze won the Cannabis Cup in 2004 and the Sativa Cup in 2012, and has been one of the most popular strains in Amsterdam's many coffee shops for years. But we believe that this classic has stood the test of time. She is easy to grow, even for beginners. When your cannabis garden lies in the right climate, the plants grown from Amnesia Haze autoflowering seeds can provide a yield of up to 300 grams per plant. Quite the citrus flavored haul to enjoy!
Talking about enjoyment, this Sativa heavy hybrid, will uplift your spirits and boosts your energy. It might even make you talk the night away, in the right setting, of course. Ease of growing, a big harvest and a cheerful high makes Amnesia Haze our number two best autoflower strain of this year.
3. Cheese Autoflower
"I want cheese!", is a quote we have heard more than often. And we agree. Cheese Autoflower is one of the most unique autoflowering strains we ever had the pleasure of tasting. Like a fresh, yet ripened cheese wheel ready on a wooden store shelf. Her one-of-a-kind taste is complimented by her fast flowering time, of only 49 to 56 days, with a max indoor yield of 450 gram per square meter. If you decide to grow her indoors, we advise keeping her nutrients to moderate doses. She does enjoy an airy soil with some coconut fibers added.
After you have grown a handful of Cheese autoflower seeds, and harvested her buds, you will enjoy a very balanced high, that can even help with chronic pain, according to some of our customers. Her unparalleled cheesy aroma, combined with the warm blanket high and quick, yet bountiful harvest, shows why Cheese Autoflower deserves her spot on this list.
4. AK-47 Autoflower
Unlike her violent name, AK-47 Autoflower is one of the sweetest autoflowering strains. Not only because of her taste, but also due to her short flowering stage, lasting somewhere between 42 and 56 days. Many autoflowering cannabis seeds grow quickly, yet provide small harvests. Not the case with AK-47 Autoflower, as she can yield up to half a kilo, when grown indoors. What makes this autoflowering version of this strain even better, is the fact that she can grow almost anywhere. Even your balcony can be a good grow spot for this autoflower strain, as low maintenance as she is.
As a true hybrid, AK-47 produces a high that makes you feel happy and mellow, but also gives you a shot of energy, making sure you do not turn into a plant yourself. She has a short seed-to-harvest period, and her low maintenance suits even the laziest of growers. Therefore, AK-47 Autoflower is one of the best autoflower cannabis seeds you can possibly grow.
5. Big Bud Autoflower
Photoperiod strains are often chosen for their big harvests, yet some auto flowering seeds will be able to match their yields. Big Bud Autoflower is definitely one of those. With a maximum yield of 500 gram per square meters when grown indoors, she is a worthy competitor for any plant grown from non-autoflower feminized marijuana seeds. This can be attributed to the heavy nuggets that can be harvested after a short flowering period of about 45 to 50 days. Don't forget to tie branches a bit, as that can improve her airflow, and prevent annoying pests like mold and bugs.
After harvesting, you can enjoy an Indica heavy hybrid, that tastes fruity sweet and promises an exquisite body stone, mixed with a slight head high. Her big, dense and exceptionally potent buds are what makes her such a popular pick among the range of autoflowering strains, and we would be amiss to not include her in the Top 5 best autoflower seeds of this year.
