autoflowering

[peglegdeb]

Have recently come across the term "autoflowering" and am not familar w/ it. Anybody want to comment for me?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it means to start the plant on 12/12 right after it sprouts...

Autoflowering simply means the plant will go into flower without adjusting your lighting regime, a sample is Lowryder, it doesnt matter if you use 24/0 or 12/12 etc, it has a built in clock that makes the plant start flowering determined by the plants age not the light.

Thanks so much Hick for pointing me in the direction of MP Grower's Guide. However, while this guide will be very helpful for any number of terms it does not contain 'autoflowering.' No need to be concerned though (unless you want to add it) as there were a couple of other posts to my question and I now have a good idea of what it means.

Am quite impressed too- had no idea there were strains such as this. May have to try one of them. Thanks again Hick.

I was kinda off... LOL

The autoflowering aspect comes from "ruderalis" MJ. ;)

Hey, no problem Whoa- we both learned something new today! Thanks for input anyway.

Ruderalis?? Really?? That's described as '...low concentrations of psychoactive compounds' Don't see the connection to autoflowering but hey, that may just be my ignorance showing here.

[whoawhoa]

Dunno, I know rederalis is the third type of mj plant... (sative, indica, & rederalis)

[Mutt]

Lowryder was a developed autoflowering strain. I do beleive the the ruderalis was crossed with northern lights or something heavy indica to help boost its potency.
