What are Autoflower Seeds?

Cannabis plants normally need a change of season or hours of exposure to direct UV light in order to change from vegetative growth to flowering stage.

A cannabis strain that is not an autoflower does not have the gene that allows the plant to flower depending on its age, the plant usually relies on the change of season to flower.

However, with cannabis autoflowering seeds, the change from growth to flower happens when the cannabis strain reaches a certain age. This can be anything between 10 weeks and 100 days, depending on the genetics of your autoflowering marijuana seeds. This gives you a greater opportunity to have multiple harvests throughout the year.

The reason why this change in flowering behavior happens with autoflower cannabis is due to the cross-breeding of the traditional cannabis plant with the sub-cannabis strain Ruderalis. Origin Russia, but that can be debated. Ruderalis evolved to endure harsh environmental conditions and still be able to flower.

Super Autoflower and Autoflower: What is the Difference?

We have discussed the origin of autoflower cannabis, now let’s see what super autocannabis seeds are all about.

Basically, the breeders have started to breed the original cannabis strain back into the autoflower cross. This makes the Rudirallis gene less predominant in the plant. Meaning the plant will have a higher THC value than the normal autoflower. Helping provide higher yields from the strain and keeping the autoflower properties from the Ruderallis gene.
