Autoflowering Cannabis
Autoflowering cannabis refers to cultivars that transition to flowering based on age rather than photoperiod changes. This trait originates from Cannabis ruderalis subspecies, which naturally flower after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth. Breeders have incorporated autoflowering genetics into photoperiod-dependent strains through selective crossing, creating hybrids that flower independently of light duration. The trait is determined by recessive genes, requiring careful breeding strategies to stabilize autoflowering in desired genetic backgrounds. Autoflowering plants typically complete full lifecycle in 8-10 weeks from seed and often remain smaller than photoperiod counterparts.

Breeders working with autoflowering genetics prioritize stabilizing the trait across multiple generations while maintaining desirable cannabinoid profiles and plant structure. Understanding autoflowering inheritance patterns enables breeders to produce feminized autoflowering seeds and cross autoflowering genetics into established cultivar families.
