Is your cannabis seed collection missing some autoflowering strains? Many collectors benefit from gathering strains of this type. However, they differ quite significantly from one another. In this category, you'll primarily find small autoflowers. In countries where cannabis cultivation is legal, such as the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, or some U.S. states, the seeds found here grow into relatively short plants.
Why should you add small autoflowers to your collection? What characteristics do they have? What should you know about them before deciding to add some low-height autoflowering seeds to your collection?
Small autoflowers – What are they?
Autoflowers are simply feminized seeds that, in countries where cultivation is legal, grow into plants that flower automatically. They do not require changes in the photoperiod to start the flowering process. They only need to reach a certain age. Once they do, they begin – as the name suggests – to flower automatically, all by themselves.
Autoflowering strains naturally don’t grow as tall as their full-season counterparts. The reason lies in their genetics. Among these strains, there are true gems that are sought after by growers worldwide for their short height.
Why? Because these strains are exceptionally suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing. Many growers from Western countries point out that their low height makes them inconspicuous to... pests and animals. Meanwhile, growers from countries like the Czech Republic highlight the convenience in indoor cultivation, where small plants don’t take up much space and fit easily where they need to.
At GanjaFarmer, you can buy just such seeds. Remember, though, they are sold exclusively for collectible purposes. However, if you're a passionate seed collector who enjoys collecting autoflowering strains, especially the small ones, then you should regularly expand your collection with new strains purchased from us!
Small autoflowers – Indicas, Sativas, Hybrids!
Among the seeds available in this category, you'll find seeds with genetic profiles typical of indica (Indian), sativa (hemp), as well as various hybrids and crossbreeds. There are even strains crossed with wild cannabis (Cannabis Ruderalis).
Indicas are strains known for their shorter stature compared to sativas. In the case of autoflowers, we’re talking about truly short strains that, in countries where cultivation is legal, grow to just 50 centimeters! Does that mean that growers in the Netherlands or the Czech Republic get equally small yields? Far from it! A classic strain like Auto Afghan, which grows to 40-90 cm, yields 40 to 100 grams from a single outdoor-grown plant (in a country with legal cultivation). That's quite a lot for a strain that takes just 8 weeks from seed to harvest! Indica provides a strong, intense high that sometimes almost pins you to the couch, deeply relaxes the body, helps with sleep, and eases pain.
Sativas are slightly taller plants. In countries where cultivation is legal, a classic like Auto White Widow grows to 50 to 100 cm. This strain provides growers in Western countries with yields of 100-180 grams per outdoor-grown plant. In indoor cultivation, the yield can reach up to 500 grams per square meter! Sativa stimulates, clears the mind, boosts creativity, encourages action, and does not cause drowsiness, enhancing the enjoyment of music or philosophical musings.
Our offering also includes a variety of hybrids, whose genetic profiles are a mix of sativa, indica, and sometimes wild cannabis genes. It’s clear to see that small does not mean weak. Small autoflowers are beautiful, and every passionate collector will benefit from expanding their collection with strains of this type.
