The Advantages of Growing Autoflower Seeds
Autoflower cannabis seeds develop into plants that flower automatically, making them easier to grow and more beginner friendly.
Unlike photoperiod cannabis that requires a change in the light cycle to induce flowering, autoflower plants move from seed to harvest without any light cycle changes..
Autoflower seeds contain genetics from Cannabis ruderalis, that originates from Russia and surrounding regions.
Ruderalis blooms automatically and has a much faster life cycle.

What Kind of Soil Do Autoflower Seeds Need?
Many growers either start with or switch to autoflower seeds because of how easy they are to grow. Here are a few reasons growers choose autos:
1)Low maintenance: They are quick to grow, thick-stemmed, and sturdy.
2)Convenient: Their small size means autoflower strains can be grown by those with limited space, reaching harvest in a matter of weeks. They’re ideal for balconies, terraces, and even windowsills.
Other benefits of autoflower seeds include
- Lots of potency options: Autoflowers come in high-THC, medium-THC, and low-THC formats, making them a great choice for all types of smokers. Many new-school autos also feature high levels of CBD and other cannabinoids.
- Terpene flavors and effects: With autoflowers, you can experience the prized flavor profiles and effects of some of the most classic cannabis strains. By infusing them with ruderalis to ensure the autoflowering trait, breeders have created autoflower seeds that are almost indistinguishable from the photoperiod originals when it comes time to sample the flowers.
What Kind of Soil Do Autoflower Seeds Need?
What Kind of Soil Do Autoflower Seeds Need?
When selecting a potting soil for your plants, you’ll need to choose a light and airy substrate
Aim for potting soil with the following ratio of materials:
- 3 parts peat moss
- 2 parts perlite
- 1 part compost or earthworm castings
- KIS Organic nutrients per label directions
Autoflower cannabis will do well in relatively small growing containers.
You can either sow seeds directly into their final pot, or transplant 1–2-week-old seedlings from a germination tray into their final home.
Why Grow Autoflower Seeds Indoors
Growing autoflower plants indoors gives growers more control over factors such as light and water.
Because autos aren’t responsive to light when it comes to flowering, growers can choose to run lights from 18–24 hours.
A light cycle of 18-6 will supply your plants with all of their energy needs while saving you some money on your electricity bill.
If costs don't concern you, keeping the lights on for 20–24 hours each day throughout the growing cycle could result in larger yields and faster growth.
What Kind of Nutrients Do Autoflowers Need?
Autoflowers respond extremely well to organic nutrients. When proper ratios of high quality compost / earthworm castings and an organic nutrient additive such as KIS Organics nutrient pack autofower growers will see exceptional results.

What to do when you receive your autoflower seeds?
Take care of your seeds!
If you don’t plan to grow them right away, this is how we recommend storing your autoflower seeds for maximum longevity.
Quality autoflower seeds will easily survive for several years in a cool, dark, dry place. Keep them sealed in the vial they are sent, and that vial inside the zip-lock packaging somewhere in a cool dark environment. Cooler than room temperature is what you should aim for such as dark closets etc. Keep them out of sunlight. Stable cool temperatures are best. For even longer-term storage keep your seeds refrigerated. The same care should be taken for your long term storage, no moisture and well-sealed and your autoflower seeds will easily keep for over 5 years.
Germination Method for Autoflower seeds
This is the method which we use, and we always get fantastic results. Just as with growing a plant, getting the environment right is best.
Too hot or cold, dry or wet - Your seeds are going to have a bad time.
Usually with this method seeds show a nice tail and able to be potted between 36 - 60 hours, however it can take as long as 120 hours in a subpar environment so please don’t throw seeds away if they don’t look to be doing anything after 24-48 hours. If your germination environment is not on point, it will take longer. Also one strain could germinate faster than another, but just because they don’t germinate at the exact same time doesn’t mean it won’t germinate.
Step 1 - Take a length of toilet tissue of nice quality - 4 squares together is usually enough, fold in half twice so you’re left with one square of a nice thickness.
Step 2 - Take a spray bottle, fill with tap water and mist your tissue.
Step 3 - Add seeds, Fold over once again, and mist your tissue package of seeds until it is soaked through.
Step 4 - Place in a Ziploc sandwich bag and seal.
Step 5 - Wrap in an article of clothing which will insulate the seeds within nicely.
Step 6 - Place this somewhere warm with stable temperatures like the top of your Refrigerator.
Step 7 - After 24-36 hours you may want to open the bag and check on the progress, re-wet the tissue if necessary, and flip the package over.
Step 8 - Ready to plant once the seed has a taproot of 1/2” or so.
Planting your germinated Autoflower seed
Once your seed has germinated it is time to plant. We grow in organic living soil and as such, our grow guide will reflect that choice. We use a homemade soil for our autoflowers. The recipe for our soil is as follows:
“WATER ONLY SOIL RECIPE: (This makes a little over 30 gallons or 4 cubic ft of soil)
15 gallons sphagnum peat moss
10 gallons aeration amendment ( perlite, lava rock)
5 gallons high-quality compost or earthworm castings (very important for proper nutrient cycling)
** For one or two plants we use 5 gal of Sphagnum peat, 3 gal perlite, and 2 gal of earthworm castings / compost mix. We then add the small KIS Organics Nutrient Pack and mix per instructions. You can run 2 plants in 5 gal pots or 1 in a 10 gal pot water only soil.
*** We don’t PH when using organic soil. The soil is your buffer and as such it takes a lot of the guesswork out of it.
Light cycles for Autoflowers
Light cycles are a personal choice. Autoflowers will grow under a variety of cycles and options, however we would recommend no less than 18 hours on for indoor growing to obtain optimum results, and of course all the way up to 24 hours. The normal cycle we use is 20 / 4.
Nutrients for Autoflowers
Nutrients may be added however it is advisable to stick with ¼ strength.
We prefer to only use organic products and we water with Terp Tea Grow and Bloom from Roots organic
