What Is Autoflowering?

Autoflowering plants are compact and very easy to grow, as they don’t need a trigger to flower. They pass more or less directly from the seedling stage to the flowering stage on their own. In other words, you plant a seed, it sprouts, grows a couple of sets of leaves, and then automatically begins flowering at 3 to 4 weeks. When planted in spring, these plants will produce ripe buds earlier than photoperiod varieties. It’s that simple.

How Autoflowering Plants Grow

Doctor’s Choice autoflowering strains are very easy to grow, always finish within a fixed time period, and are simply some of the quickest and most compact plants available. No change in the photoperiod is necessary to induce flowering, so you need no separate cloning or vegetative growing areas. Multiple or off-season harvests are possible in warmer areas, as well as multilevel indoor setups.

Growing Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, autoflowering plants eliminate the need to induce flowering by reducing daylight hours. They will grow consistently well and finish under 12, 18, or even 24 hours of light. It is no longer necessary to have separate vegetative and flowering spaces and timers.

Outdoors, plants can easily be kept concealed because of their small size and early flowering, whether planted in fields, gardens, on patios, or even on windowsills. They will produce ripe buds earlier than photoperiod varieties. It’s that simple.

Autoflowering plants are ideal for home growers, backyard enthusiasts, or guerrilla gardeners looking for a quick turnaround. They are very reliable for early outdoor production and especially useful in areas with short growing seasons.
