How are autoflowers different?

Since photoperiodic plants bloom after a change in season, they can only be grown two or perhaps three times when cultivated outdoors. Unless you live near the equator, where plants can be grown year-round, you won't be able to grow many plants.

The autoflowers come to your rescue because they don't need a change in season to start blooming.

Harvest Faster

No one wants to wait months to harvest flowers. In fact, the very reason you might grow cannabis at home—assuming it’s legal where you live—is to get flowers as quickly as possible. And the fact that it takes more time to dry and «cure» the buds adds to the wait. So it’s neither rare nor unreasonable for beginners to look for fast-flowering strains.

Save Money

Autoflowers are particularly easy to grow and can save you a lot of money. Starting with lighting—which only needs to be on for 14 to 16 hours a day—you’ll save a lot of money. They’re usually ready for harvest in just 10 weeks, whereas photoperiod plants need at least 5 months to complete their cycle. This means you’ll save a lot on nutrients.

They're small and perfect for discreet growing

Even in countries where cannabis cultivation is permitted, growers must be very careful when growing plants at home. Of course, this is subjective, and growers don’t like small plants, but when you consider that you can grow two plants in the space required to grow one photoperiod plant, the idea is certainly appealing. Not all autoflowering plants are small, however.
