Outdoor Autoflower Seeds

What Are The Advantages Of Growing Autoflowering Cannabis Outdoors?

Thanks to their Ruderalis heritage, autoflower cannabis weed seeds are light-independent, can withstand varying climatic conditions, and have rapid growth. Other advantages include:

Quick Harvest Cycles: From Seed To Bud In Record Time

Autoflowering cannabis seeds are known for their fast-growing nature. In 8 - 12 weeks, these seeds transition to flower and are ready for harvest. This means you can plant multiple crops and enjoy a bountiful harvest every year!

Stealth Growing: Compact Autoflower Plants For Discreet Outdoor Cultivation

Typically, autoflowering cultivars remain compact throughout their lifespan (between 1 - 2 ft in height). This makes them perfect for discreet outdoor growing, growers who want to do guerrilla cultivation, or those who have a small space. Despite their small size, autoflower weed seeds still produce high-quality, potent buds.

Resistance To Pests And Diseases

Also, autoflowers are less prone to pests and common plant diseases like mold and mildew. They can thrive in soil with low nutrients and don’t require much fertilizer to develop large buds.

What Are The Best Autoflowering Cannabis Strains For Outdoor Cultivation?

Gorilla Glue Auto

Gorilla Glue Auto is our customers’ favorite, largely because of its high THC content and cheerful, high, and strong genetics. This strain combines the best of Gorilla Glue #4 and Critical Diesel auto to give a robust and resilient plant perfect for outdoor cultivation. It can thrive in a variety of climates, including temperate, Mediterranean, arid, tropical, and mountain climates. Once planted, Gorilla Glue takes about 8 - 9 weeks to flower and yields up to 4.2 oz per plant.

AK-47 Auto

AK-47 Auto is another high-yielding strain popular for its herbal flavor and relaxing high. One of our customers who got this strain says it’s ‘super easy to grow, stress tolerant and smells awesome.’ We agree! AK-47 is a mix of AK-47 and the Ruderalis gene. It produces a plant that holds up well in a tough environment and delivers dense, resin-coated buds with minimal effort. This plant reaches >3ft outdoors, completes the entire lifecycle in 6 - 8 weeks, and you’ll still get up to 3.2 oz per plant!

Girl Scout Cookies Auto

The all-time famous Girl Scout Cookies Auto is an indica-dominant hybrid strain. It is an excellent mix of the OG Kush and Durban Poison and delivers a potent, euphoric high with relaxing effects. This strain has quickly become a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts (especially beginners) because of its easy growing conditions, compact size (at most 3ft tall), and robust yields (up to 5.3 oz per plant). For best results, use the Sea of Green (SOG) setup, add the right nutrients, and plant it in an area with sufficient airflow. You can also shop the 45-day autoflower variety at our store.

How Do I Choose The Right Autoflowering Seeds For Outdoor Growing?

When choosing autoflowering seeds for outdoor growing:

• Consider the strain’s genetics. Do you want a sativa- or indica-dominated strain? Or a balanced effect of both? Popular outdoor strains like Gorilla Glue and Amnesia Haze are hybrid autos.
• Match the THC and CBD levels to your desired effect. High THC levels are perfect for psychoactive, high experiences, and high CBD autoflower strains are best for therapeutic purposes.
• Assess your growing conditions. Some autos thrive in colder climates, while others prefer warm, sunny conditions. So, be sure to choose seeds that suit your region’s temperature, sunlight, and humidity levels to get the maximum yield.

How Do I Maximize Yields When Growing Autoflowers Outdoors?

To make the most out of your outdoor autoflower seeds, ensure you follow all the required growing conditions from the seed bank. Here’s a simple checklist:

• Use LST (low-stress training) methods to ensure light is distributed evenly to a majority of the bud sites to increase the number of main stems.
• Use the ScrOG (Screen of Green) method to improve light distribution and airflow. This method requires training the plants to grow through a horizontal mesh screen, creating an even canopy. The result? You get buds with more quality and quantity.
• Grow your plants in a temperature range between 18 °C–25 °C. Also, maintain humidity levels of 40 - 70%, depending on the growth stage.
• Stick to 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness daily. Choose a spot with excellent drainage to prevent root rot and maintain a stable temperature throughout the grow.
• Use light, well-aerated soil with balanced nutrients. Add organic compost, perlite, and coco coir to improve your soil quality. You can also add NPK (Sodium, Phosphorus, and Potassium) fertilizer during the flowering stage.
• Avoid stressful techniques like topping and heavy pruning that stress the plants, as this can cause stunted growth or limited yield.

FAQs

What’s The Difference Between Autoflowering And Photoperiod Strains For Outdoor Growing?

Autoflowering and photoperiod strains differ primarily in how they flower. While the latter switches automatically from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage regardless of the light cycles, it’s best suited for outdoor cultivation because of its high resistance to climate and short lifespan. Photoperiod strains, on the other hand, require specific changes in light exposure to trigger flowering. They typically have higher yields compared to their autoflower counterparts, but their controlled growing conditions make it difficult for first-time growers.

How Long Does Autoflower Take To Grow Outdoors?

The growth of autoflower strains outdoors depends on the strain and environmental conditions. Ideally, they’re expected to take about 8 - 12 weeks to grow from seeds to harvest when grown outdoors. Most of our strains take between 6 - 9 weeks from seed to harvest!

Can Outdoor Autos Grow In A Very Cold Climate?

Yes, outdoor autos like Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies can grow easily in a very cold climate. If you’re living in these regions, ensure you opt for cold-resistant autoflower strains for successful grow and maximum yield.

How Much Can An Autoflower Grown Outdoors Yield?

The yield of an outdoor marijuana seed largely depends on the strain, soil quality, climate, and growing conditions. On average, expect between 1.1–5.3 oz per plant. This can be more if you purchase your seeds from a reputable breeder or seed bank.

Do Autoflowers Grown Outdoors Need Nutrients?

Yes, like every other plant, autoflowers grown outdoors need nutrients to thrive. However, it’s not as much as photoperiod or feminized plants. While they have a short lifespan, it’s important to provide a balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium at different stages of growth. Also, be very careful of overfeeding the plant to avoid stunted growth or low yields. You can contact any of our expert breeders on how best to grow your autoflower strains outside.

Feminized Vs. Regular Autoflowering Seeds: Which Is Better For Outdoor Cultivation?

For growers who want to avoid the risk of male plants and maximize their yields, feminized autoflowering seeds are the preferred option. Feminized seeds ensure that the plants will be female, which is important since only female plants produce buds. Regular seeds, on the other hand, have a mix of male and female plants, and males do not produce buds.
