Top 10 Best Autoflower Strains

Most cannabis plants are dependent on sunlight for flowering – a process that usually occurs during the light changes that come with autumn. This usually means that, as a grower, you have to wait for the seasons to change or stimulate the changes artificially so that your plants can enter the flowering stage.

However, autoflower strains will usually flower without these lighting changes. These plants enter the flowering stage naturally on their own and are perfect for any grower looking for a quick harvest. You will also love autoflower strains if you can only grow your crops indoors.
