5 auto-flowering strains that will surprise you
The quality of auto-flowering (also known as automatic or simply auto) genetics has been greatly improved over the past years. Today, cannabis breeders develop top-quality auto versions of some of the most acclaimed photoperiod varieties, so this type of genetics is being increasingly used by many growers.
Auto strains are ideal for those with small growing spaces, to make several outdoor crops per year easily or for those who have an outdoor growing space with light pollution (which can make it impossible to grow photoperiod strains). While just a few years ago the quality of these strains was mediocre, today you can find literally hundreds of autoflowering strains coming from the best genetics on the market.
