Best Autoflower Strains for beginners

One of the best features of autoflowers is you can grow them both indoors and outdoors. In fact, many people prefer to grow them indoors because they don’t get as large as photo plants. This gives you the ability to try out growing on a small scale and see if it’s something you’re into. Growing indoors allows you to grow at any time of the year. In addition, autoflowers give you a fast harvest time but a smaller yield than photo plants.

Benefits of Using Autoflower Strains

When it comes to growing cannabis you have two types of plants to choose from, photoperiod and autoflower. I mentioned above some of the benefits of growing autoflower strains but I feel this need some more details so you have a good idea on all the benefits of these amazing plants.

Benefits:

• Easy to grow — Plants know when to automatically switch from vegetative growth, to flowering.
• Doesn’t need a specific light schedule — You won’t have to mess with timers or play around to get your lighting just right.
• Smaller grow size — This allows you to grow more than one strain at a time.
• Fast flowering time — Typical time from seed to flower is eight weeks.
• Great for indoor growing.

Cons:

• Smaller yield than photoperiod plants.
• You can’t clone autoflowers.
• Cost more than photoperiod plants because you can’t make clones.
• Buds are not as potent as photoperiod plants.

In my opinion, the benefits of growing autoflower strains far outweigh the cons which is why this site focuses solely on the autoflower strains. Yes, you cannot clone autoflowers, but you get that precious bud much faster.

Good for Indoor Grows

Smaller grow sizes can be seen in both a negative and positive light, no pun intended. Smaller sizes allow you the ability to have a grow setup without needing a giant grow tent taking up your whole room. Having a smaller grow space benefits from not having your plants stink up your entire living space and are much easier to manage. It’s good to start small and then work your way up from there as opposed to investing thousands of dollars in grow equipment that you may never use again. I can tell you from experience, grow equipment does not hold its value.

Using autoflowers indoors is excellent because it allows you to grow more than one strain at a time. Due to the overall plant being smaller, you can fit them closer together and really maximize your space.
