Autoflower seeds for sale for sale are a good option for growers with limited space. Their small size also makes them easier to hide from pests. They can be grown indoors or outdoors, depending on the season and climate. However, the biggest mistake a new grower can make is not providing adequate light to the plants. This will cause them to stunt and not yield as much as they could have.

Optimal light for these marijuana plants includes CFL or HID bulbs in the vegetative stage and MH or HPS bulbs in the flowering stage. The best bulb options depend on the type of strain and growing environment. For example, a grower using sativa-leaning strains like Do-Si-Dos autoflower will want to use a combination of MH and HPS bulbs during the flowering phase.

Autoflower plants are less sensitive to stress than photoperiod plants. However, they are still susceptible to over-feeding and low temperatures. For this reason, it’s important to keep the environment stable and use a temperature and humidity monitor.

In the vegetative phase, growers should top their plants once they’ve developed their first three nodes and use LST (Low-Stress Training) techniques to encourage more branches that will eventually be covered in buds. Once the flowers have developed, it’s time to harvest. This should be done on week ten. The buds should be milky in color and have a distinct contrast between the red-brown hues of the pistils and the green of the leaves.
