The quality of autoflowering genetics has vastly improved over the years. Today, marijuana breeders develop top-notch auto versions of some of the best photoperiod varieties, which is why more and more growers use this type of genetics. Growing autoflowers outdoors allows one to quickly harvest premium-quality bud in places with short summers, challenging weather, and light pollution.
There are hundreds of top-tier autoflower genetics out there perfectly suitable for outdoor cultivation, but we can make your choice even easiler by bringing you a list of top five strains you should definitely try. Let’s get started with the countdown!
5. Mexican Airlines Auto
Mexican Airlines Auto is a Sativa dominant hybrid, which is uncommon for outdoor autoflowers. Its strong genetics hailing form places as diverse as Mexico, Colombia, and Siberia make it hardy and reistant to disease, although you can further improve the quality of your harvest by protecting the buds from wet weather and excessive moisture in the last couple of weeks of the life cycle.
The plant's colorful buds with streaks of blue and a thick coat of 'frost' have a pleasant flavor of spicy ginger with a bit of a lemon aftertaste, while a heafty 19% THC produces intense euphoria and often makes you giggle uncontrollably. The high is also creative and, at times, mind-warping, and it can turn a smoking session into an almost psychedelic experience.
4. Tropicana Cookies Auto
Tropicana Cookies has greatly increased in popularity in the recent years and become one of the most renowned Cali strains. Our autoflowering version contains the same genetics, and the result is a fantastic citrusy autoflowering strain with up to 27% THC content. This plant's ease of growing is one of its main attractions, and its low maintenance and hardiness come in handy in outdoor gardens or greenhouses.
This auto features extremely resinous flowers covered with long, sticky trichomes, emits a refreshing aroma of sandalwood, and offers sweet citrusy flavors. It’s one of the strongest outdoor autoflower strains, and the smoke produces a delightful and enjoyable high. Expect an Indica-type relaxation, as well as a strong and euphoric Sativa-like cerebral rush.
3. Amnesia Zkittlez Auto
Amnesia Zkittlez Auto combines the mellow uplift of Zkittlez with a creamy and smooth taste of Amnesia Haze. It’s a Sativa-dominant hybrid with enough pep to smoke at any time of day. The plant itself is quite versatile and has a tendency to grow large with correspondingly high yields, especially outdoors, where you can give the roots as much space as they need.
The smoke of Amnesia Zkittlez Auto may make you giddy at first, but soon, it slides into uplifting, extremely energizing effects that give you that extra boost you need to get things done. In fact, a toke or two can keep you going throughout the whole day. It's the perfect high to share with others—the kind of bud meant to smoke with your best mates and a few drinks or perhaps with a loved one on a beautiful mountaintop or beach.
2. Lemon AK Auto
Lemon AK Auto is the new rendition of a legend – the AK-47, which was developed in 1992 in Holland and combined landrace genetics from Colombia, Mexico, Afghanistan, and Thailand. This Sativa-dominant classic made its way to the US just in time for the Cali medical-marijuana boom and quickly became a popular strain in dispensaries across the west coast, thanks to its high THC levels.
Lemon AK Auto’s seeds explode out of the ground, and maybe a little too eagerly, with branches not quite catching up with the lushness of the foliage and later, the enormous and heavy colas. Using stakes or trellisses is crucial, especially outdoors, but other than that, Lemon AK Auto is a hardy cultivar with record-breaking yields.
The smoke gives a joyful yet balanced experience: the Sativa energy is tempered by a touch of Indica, and the relaxing and mood-boosting effects are enhanced by limonene. Lemon AK Auto is a fantastic daytime strain that gets you up and running in no time.
1. Gorilla Cookies Auto
Gorilla Cookies Auto is a perfect amalgamation of taste and feeling, originating from the crossing of Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies, with an addition of Ruderalis genetics to make the plant finish in just around 10 weeks from seed. Its cultivation is a straightforward and fairly simple process, including outdoors, and the outcome is an abundant harvest of buds covered in resin all over.
When you have Gorilla Cookies Auto in your garden, you'll see why this is our top-selling autoflower, but wait till you taste the smoke with its delicious cookie-dough flavors enhanced by earthy and kushy notes. Despite a jaw-dropping 28.5% THC, the effects are nicely balanced, probably because the strain has such a perfect ratio of Indica and Sativa. The blissfully happy high clears your mind and keeps anxiety at bay.
