Top 5 High-THC Autoflowering Strains (2023 Update)
Autoflowering cannabis strains are hardy, easy to grow, and super reliable. Many growers opt for these cultivars to achieve a near-effortless stash over a short period. But certain auto strains offer much more than just efficiency. These five varieties stand out with exceptional potency, rivalling many photoperiod strains in terms of THC.
Autoflowering strains are prized for their rapid growth and reliability. They also serve as the perfect stepping stone for beginner cannabis growers, as they’re generally resilient and easy to manage. While the auto varieties of days gone by were shunned for their lack of potency, breeders have put in some serious work over the years to rectify this issue. Now, many autos rival photoperiod strains when it comes to THC content. Below, you’ll get to know five of the strongest, most THC-rich autoflowering strains available. You no longer have to sacrifice potency for speed. Enjoy both!
ARE AUTOFLOWERING CANNABIS STRAINS WORTH IT?
We get this question a lot, and the answer is yes; autoflowering strains are definitely worth it. They are super easy to grow and can produce some spectacular bud, especially if you plant them in big pots under strong lights.
Plus, the fact that autoflowers don’t need to be pruned or trained makes them ideal for beginner growers. Their short stature allows them to fit into small indoor grow rooms or stealthy outdoor grows, and their short flowering time means you can typically pump out multiple harvests throughout the year.

1. Green Gelato Auto
In 2018, Gelato was named "Strain of The Year". Green Gelato Automatic is our very own unique autoflowering version of this beloved hybrid. This is one of our most aromatic strains, and it produces massive levels of THC that’ll give even a top-shelf Haze a good run for its money.
Green Gelato Automatic boasts everything you love about our photoperiod Green Gelato strain in a neat autoflowering package. Like the original strain, Green Gelato Auto boasts balanced effects that combine a relaxing, physical stone with cerebral euphoria.
This strain is first on our list for a reason; Green Gelato Automatic can produce up to 24% THC, making her one of the most potent autoflowers on the market. You’ll only need a few hits to feel her powerful effects.

2. Cookies Gelato Automatic
This impressive auto doesn’t just pack high levels of THC; she also stands out from her peers with the stunning dark purple shades that decorate her colas, and the sensual aroma she emits. In other words, Cookies Gelato Automatic is a great example of just how far autoflowering cultivars have come.

Fat Banana is a super aromatic RQS strain that produces big, dense, and resinous buds. Fat Banana Automatic is her autoflowering cousin. Indica-dominant, fast-flowering, and capable of producing up to 22% THC, Fat Banana Automatic has to be one of the most potent autoflowers available today.
