Autoflowering Seed
Autoflowering seeds produce plants that transition to flowering based on age rather than photoperiod changes, typically entering bloom within 2-4 weeks of germination regardless of light cycle. This trait originates from Cannabis ruderalis genetics, which evolved in regions with short growing seasons. Autoflowering varieties generally complete full seed-to-harvest cycles in 8-12 weeks under continuous or near-continuous light. The trait is now found across numerous cultivar families through selective breeding and hybridization with photoperiod-dependent subspecies. Autoflowering genetics are commonly selected by breeders working in short-season climates or seeking faster phenotype turnover in research.

Breeders incorporate autoflowering genetics to develop rapid-cycling cultivars suited to northern latitudes, indoor production schedules, and breeding programs requiring accelerated generation times. The trait is often pyramided with other desired characteristics like cannabinoid profiles or terpene expression.
