Seeds auto意思

"Seeds auto" is a term often used in the context of cannabis cultivation. It refers to "autoflowering seeds," which are a type of cannabis seeds that automatically enter the flowering stage regardless of the light cycle. Traditional cannabis plants require a change in light exposure to initiate flowering, usually a reduction in light hours (photoperiod plants). However, autoflowering plants flower based on their age and the amount of time they have been growing, rather than the light cycle.

Autoflowering cannabis varieties were developed by crossing cannabis with plants from the genus Ruderalis, which naturally have this autoflowering trait. This characteristic allows for more flexibility in the growing process, as growers can plant autoflowering seeds at any time of the year and expect a harvest regardless of the outdoor light conditions.

The term "auto" is short for "autoflowering," and it's used to differentiate these seeds from traditional photoperiod seeds, which require specific light schedules to flower. Autoflowering seeds are popular among home growers and those in regions with shorter growing seasons, as they can produce a crop in a shorter time frame and with less reliance on controlled lighting environments.
