Autoflower indoor for all tastes with Humboldt Seed Company

We’re thrilled to be featured in Grow Magazine Germany – Seeds & Genetics – Guest Article Summary

As Germany’s first autumn post-legalization approaches, outdoor cannabis cultivation comes to an end, making way for indoor growers to prepare for the colder months. Those who missed outdoor cultivation can stock up on cannabis seeds, particularly autoflower strains, which offer year-round growing opportunities.

Autoflower cannabis varieties bloom independently of light cycles, unlike traditional photoperiod strains. Once considered inferior, modern autoflower strains have advanced significantly, now producing top-tier results, including high cannabinoid levels, unique terpene profiles, and impressive aesthetics. An example is Humboldt Seed Company’s (HSC) Mint Jelly Auto, which won first place in the Indica category at the 2023 Autoflower World Cup in Barcelona.

Growing autoflowers can be tricky for beginners due to their fixed life cycle, making any mistakes in care, such as overwatering or excessive nutrients, more detrimental than with photoperiod plants. For optimal results, growers should use a low-stress training (LST) method and avoid harsh techniques like manifolding.

Humboldt Seed Company’s breeding process takes place outdoors under the Californian sun, allowing for better selection against pests and diseases. Autoflower plants, which cannot produce clones, require careful breeding and annual seed production.

Growers can enjoy autoflowers in various setups, from massive “monster plants” to continuous, varied harvests, or minimal-effort grows with techniques like using nutrient tablets and automatic watering systems.

Autoflowers offer flexibility and can be cultivated in different environments, providing a viable option for both novice and experienced growers. With their ease of use and growing potential, autoflowers have secured their place alongside traditional photoperiod cannabis varieties.
