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.
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.

One of the Tastiest in Our Catalogue: Mimosa Auto
Quick, colourful, and fruitful, our skilled breeders created this lightning-fast strain by crossing parent strains Mimosa Auto and Orangeade Auto.
As one of the easiest autoflowers to grow indoors, Mimosa Auto cruises through the entire growing cycle in just 9–10 weeks. Take the simple route and sow your seeds directly into their final 11 l pots. Keep your grow lights on for 24 hours per day and you’ll have 3 cm-tall seedlings with stout and healthy stems by the end of the first week. 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.

For Stunning Purple Buds: Purple Queen Auto
Not only is Purple Queen Auto one of the best autoflowers to grow indoors, but she puts on a stellar visual display during the late flowering stage.
Born of a cross between parent varieties Purple Queen and Critical Auto, she offers mellow high and zesty citrus notes. Sow your seeds directly into 11 l containers and switch on your lamps for 18–24 hours per day the moment sprouts breach the soil surface. Now, prepare for swift growth! Your plants will reach a height of around, 5 cm, 12 cm, and 25 cm by the end of weeks one, two, and three, respectively. They’ll start producing pre-flowers during week four as they start to bloom.
Your plants will reach varying sizes during flowering, peaking at 90–140 cm depending on your cultivation techniques. As they reach maturity, they’ll start to ramp up anthocyanin levels, giving them a vibrant purple appearance. Prepare to harvest up to 400 g/m² after a short growing cycle of 8–9 weeks.

Classic Among Classics: Blue Cheese Auto
Blue Cheese Auto stands out among easy-to-grow autoflowering strains. She offers a taste of the classics in a compact and speedy package!
Unlike most modern strains that serve up sugary flavours, this progeny of Blueberry and Cheese provides savoury hints of pepper, earth, and cheese. Directly sow these seeds into 8–12 l pots depending on how large you want your plants to get. They’ll reach 5–10 cm by the end of the second week and up to 40–50 cm by the end of veg.
This compact indoor strain will only stretch up to 70 cm during the flowering stage, and won’t exceed 40 cm if subject to LST and grown in a smaller pot. Despite her small stature, you can still expect to harvest 375 g/m² of gorgeous purple-green buds after a total growing time of 10–11 weeks. Enjoy a mellow and easygoing high augmented by hints of cheese.

To conclude our list of the best weed seeds for indoor growing, let us introduce you to Fat Banana Auto. As one of our most searched-for varieties, this autoflowering superstar pairs high levels of THC and sugary terpenes with quick growing times and rewarding yields.
This strain quickly packs on luscious foliage during veg, forming a dense and leafy canopy. Make an effort to defoliate and apply LST during the third week to tame her otherwise wild nature. By the end of veg, you’ll have plants standing at around 50 cm with nice and tidy canopies.
During their 7–8-week flowering period, trained Fat Banana Auto plants will peak at 70 cm. Flush your plants during the final two weeks of bloom to flush them, improving the flavour and smoothness of the final product. Have enough stash jars to hand to cure and store up to 450 g/m².
