General Questions
Do autoflower plants produce autoflower seeds? A common misconception is that autoflowers will not bear seeds. This is technically false. An autoflower marijuana plant produces thousands of seeds. However, those seeds will be substandard as they will be less potent, and also there isn’t a guarantee that they’ll be feminized.
The reason for the DIY autoflower seeds being less potent is that an autoflower plant focuses its energy on seed-bearing. As a result, less energy is put on THC, terpenes, terpenoids, etc. Additionally, there isn’t a guarantee that your autoflower seeds will be feminized.
What is the best temp and humidity for autoflowers?
The best temperature for autoflowers is the same as regular or photoperiod seeds, which is between 70° and 85° F. The exact temperature though depends upon the particular strain that you are growing.
The recommended humidity for an autoflower depends upon the growth stage of the plant. As an example, an autoflower plant requires more humidity during the seedling growth stage. (65 to 70%) Upon reaching the vegetative growth stage your plants will need less humidity. It is recommended that the humidity is reduced by 5% every week while the autoflower plant is in the vegetative stage.
