Autoflowering cannabis seeds are genetically modified seeds that possess the unique ability to automatically switch from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage without relying on changes in light cycles. This distinctive characteristic is a result of crossbreeding with Cannabis ruderalis, a subspecies known for its autoflowering trait. Unlike photoperiod-dependent strains, autoflowering seeds have a predetermined life cycle, typically completing their growth and flowering in a shorter time frame, making them popular among growers seeking quick and hassle-free cultivation.
