Autoflowering cannabis seeds are easy to grow, a joy to smoke, and offer great yields. They are equally suited for budding beginners and experienced cultivators seeking an efficient harvest. Check out the main benefits of autos below, and then explore five of the best autoflowering weed seeds to grow indoors.

Benefits of Autoflowering Cannabis

Autoflowering cannabis varieties come with a host of benefits that make them super easy to grow:

  • Resilient against pests and disease
  • Go from seed to harvest in 8–10 weeks on average
  • Small, stealthy, and easy to manage
  • Don’t require a change in light cycle to flower
  • Low demand for nutrients

Why Grow Autos Indoors?

Growing autos indoors allows cultivators to control all aspects of the environment. By managing watering, nutrients, and lighting, growers can strike the perfect balance that healthy cannabis plants need.

Outdoor plants offer great results, but they are exposed to the whims of nature—e.g. floods, strong winds, droughts, and a higher chance of pests and disease.

Growing indoors is also a better option in areas where cannabis is illegal. The use of a growing tent and carbon filter can keep plants out of sight and stinky terpenes out of the air, reducing the chance of getting busted.

Light Schedule for Indoor Autos

Unlike photoperiod strains, autoflowering strains don’t require a change in the light cycle to start flowering. These plants originated in darker and colder regions, and therefore don’t rely on external cues to progress through their life cycle. Instead, they do this all by themselves after a matter of weeks.

As such, you can maintain a light cycle of 18 hours on and 6 hours off throughout the entire growing cycle—nice and easy.

Top 5 Autoflower Weed Seeds for Indoor Growing

Behold; five excellent autos for cultivating indoors. Whether you have a whole room at your disposal or are working within a modified closet, you can achieve excellent results. Each cultivar offers something special to the grower, but all perform exceptionally well.

Brand New & Potent: Goat’lato Auto

A collaborative creation from Royal Queen Seeds and Mike Tyson’s Tyson 2.0 brand, Goat’lato Auto offers colourful buds, plenty of THC, and a compact stature that makes it perfect for growing indoors.

Collage of images of Goat’lato Auto cannabis strain, a potent autoflowering variety from Royal Queen Seeds and Tyson 2.0, featuring compact growth, purple buds, and up to 450 g/m² yields. Ideal for indoor growing.

Sow these weed seeds directly into 11 l pots filled with a high-quality potting mix, and maintain a temperature of 25–28°C for swift germination. Your plants will stand at a height of 9 cm two weeks after sprouting, exhibiting several sets of small true leaves. Aim for a relative humidity of 50% and keep your lights on for at least 18 hours per day; your plants will reach 19 cm by the end of week three. During week four, your Goat’lato Auto specimens will start producing pre-flowers and transition into bloom. Apply some light defoliation to open up the canopy, increasing light penetration and aeration.

Aim to reduce humidity levels to 30–40% throughout bloom to decrease the risk of mould. Anticipate your plants stretching up to 120 cm depending on any training techniques used. Throughout the flowering phase, those pre-flowers will quickly mature into large, dense buds with eye-catching purple hues. Prepare to harvest up to 450 g/m² indoors after a brief growing cycle of just 10–11 weeks. After drying and curing your buds, you’ll experience a soothing and euphoric effect alongside flavours of cookies, earth, and fruit.

Expect your plants to reach 7 cm by the end of week two, 15 cm by the end of week three, and up to 25–35 cm by the end of veg.

Defoliate at the start of bloom to promote better light penetration into the canopy, and switch over to a fertiliser higher in potassium and phosphorus to drive bud development. Depending on any training techniques used, your Mimosa Auto plants will stretch up to 100–150 cm during flowering. Keep humidity at around 30% and temperatures no lower than 25°C for fast and productive growth. By the end of bloom, you’ll pull in up to 400 g/m² of buds teeming with a THC content of 21% alongside pungent aromas of citrus and diesel.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
