How can you know when you grow marijuana to be an autoflower?

Autoflower weed plants grow much faster than photoperiod weed plants, and  often only take 2 months to get from seed to harvest.

Autoflowers start flowering automatically without the need of changing the light cycle.

We can tell when a plant will start flowering by looking at the pistils. when we observe a pair of white pistils next to each node, we know the plant is old enough to flower, and the bloom will begin soon.

Autoflowering is most feminized rather than regular because it provides 100% flowering, it cannot be cloned. To know the exact moment when plants begin their flowering stage we need to look to the pistils. Once we see a pair of white pistils appearing close to each node, it means the plant is old enough to start flowering so the bloom will start soon.

You will learn if they started to bloom automatically which is called autoflower. It is an automatic way to give more flowers as it grows.

Autoflowering cannabis plants will start to flower automatically after 2-4 weeks from seed germination, regardless of the light cycle they receive.

The best way to whether a plant is aotoflower is to observe if it will produce white pistol hairs like flowers on their own after 2-4 weeks of growth.

Autoflowering marijuana plants are typically identified by their short stature, small leaves, and short flowering time. Autoflowers typically start flowering when they reach a certain age, rather than when they receive a certain amount of light, as is the case with regular marijuana plants. Additionally, autoflowering strains typically have a shorter flowering time than regular marijuana plants, usually between 8-10 weeks.

The following are the main indicators that you are cultivating autoflowering cannabis plants: Age, not the light cycle, determines when they go from the vegetative to the blooming stage. Regardless of the number of light hours they receive, autoflowers will begin to bloom on their own after a certain number of weeks. Usually taking 8 to 12 weeks from seed to harvest, autoflowers mature far quicker than photoperiod strains, which can take up to 4 months. The precise duration varies depending on the autoflowering strain, but it typically takes 8 to 10 weeks to complete. When it comes to size, autoflowers are smaller than photoperiod plants. Throughout their whole life cycle, they remain bushier and shorter.

To start blooming, you did not need to switch the light schedule to 12/12. Autoflowers require 18 to 24 hours of light every day to bloom. The plants are a cross of indica and/or sativa and ruderalis genetics. The subspecies that spontaneously acquired the autoflowering characteristic is Ruderalis. Because autoflowers don't require seasonal light changes, you can grow numerous generations of them outside in a single growing season. To summarise, the capacity to bloom under extended durations of light, compact size, and quick life cycle are the telltale markers that you are cultivating autoflowering cannabis cultivars. Key traits of autos include genetics and several harvests annually.
