To grow autoflowers or not to grow… that is the question. Autoflowering cannabis used to be a hotly debated issue. Just a few years ago, there were many people that wouldn’t touch autoflowering seeds with a ten-foot pole. However, things have changed. And how! Thanks to breeders with a passion for pushing cannabis genetics to the limits, we now see autoflowers step into the spotlight.
One of the main reasons growers used to be apprehensive about autoflowers was their questionable yield potential compared to photoperiod strains, but it's the thing of the past now. The yields per square meter of modern autos are approaching those of photoperiods, and they also let you harvest two crops in the same amount of time you’d need to harvest one batch from photoperiodic seeds.
It has become a no-brainer to try an autoflower, and if you’re looking to grow some kickass autoflowering cannabis, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we are not only going to run down top 5 highest-yielding autoflowering strains, but we’ll also tell you how to achieve record-breaking results with them!
How to Get Maximum Yields with Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds?
This is a question many people ask. Technically speaking, autoflowers are the easiest to grow, but there are some rules to be followed.
Choose the Best Genetics
As humans receive certain traits and genes from our parents, so do plants. To get the best results, you need to start with choosing the best strain. At Fast Buds, we mention every little detail about the strain, including its genetics, so choosing well should never be a problem. In fact, thanks to the advancement in research and technology, there are strains that are bred to deliver high yields. For instance, take a look at our Six Shooter Auto. The name itself is suggestive of what this big girl can do.
Of course not all autoflowers are the same. It takes a lot of talent, dedication, time, and money to create something truly outstanding. For that very reason, it’s important for you to do your research and only trust the most reputable brands that have been in the business for years and are known for their integrity and hard work.
Minimal Training
You’ve probably read countless articles on training techniques, especially for the photoperiod strains out there. But when it comes to autoflowers, it’s best to stick to minimal training or no training at all. Sure, LST (Low Stress Training) – works, but if you’re a beginner, who’s just growing their first set of autoflowering cannabis seeds, you’re better off not training them.
Training your plants may increase the yield at times, but since autoflowers are fast, it's safer to just leave them alone. For example, Californian Snow Auto can be harvested in just 8 weeks, so where’s the time to train these girls? The best you can do is to prune them, but don’t overdo it either, as it can reduce the yields.
Lighting
Autoflowers tend to perform well in the harshest of environments. It’s true! You probably think that autoflowers are extremely unforgiving, but you’ll know the truth once you actually grow them. It’s also true that autoflowers aren't fussy about light schedules. They flower according to their age and size, not minding how many hours of light you provide.
However, this doesn’t mean that you should completely ignore their lighting requirements. Yes, you can grow autos side by side with photoperiods, providing 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness, but they will perform much better if you extend it to 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. Remember that plants need food too, and light is exactly that – food for plants, so don’t skimp on it.
Less is More
When it comes to autoflowers, the adage “less is more” is very true. Whether it’s about the training, watering, or nutrients (especially nutrients), you’ll do your plant a favor if you don’t overdo it. Actually, most plants perform the best when you don’t spoon-feed them.
Agreed, there are an unbelievable amount of fertilizers out there that promise the moon, but autoflowers will perform well even if you grow them in super soil (which method only requires pure water and no extra nutes from seed to harvest). This doesn’t mean that autoflowers don't need fertilizers, but you should use them sparingly.
When deciding on how much to feed your plants, look at how fast they grow. Those that develop vigorously are the most voracious eaters, so it’s your job to ensure that their needs are met.
So, now that we have covered the basics of how to get the best yields out of your seeds, let’s move on to the top 5 high-yield autoflowers that can make your friends turn green with envy.
What Are the Top 5 High Yield Autoflower Seeds?
1. Gorilla Auto
Boy, this plant is literally like a massive silverback Gorilla. This monstrous bush is huge, and all those countless colas make your back hurt with an anticipation of an endless trimming session. And as if that weren't enough, the sugar leaves are drenched in resin and can stick to your hands like glue!
If you’re one of those people that don’t like to wear gloves because you love the resin sticking to your hands, this plant will absolutely satisfy your craving! Fast Buds always takes its time perfecting their genetics and delivering the best seeds possible, and this automatic version of GG #4 is a masterpiece. If you take care of the plant well, it can produce up to 350g/m2 of buds! No kidding!
2. Bruce Banner Auto
Bruce Banner Auto is like that super-energetic friend who’s the life of any party, and this electrifying smoke is sure to become a hit with your buddies. A Sativa-dominant hybrid, this plant stacks up buds like you’ve never seen before. Classified as one of the largest in the Fast Buds seed catalog, this autoflower knows how to produce enormous buds, with yields reaching up to 600 g/m2 and powerful effects that will last a long, long time.
The only problem with Bruce Banner Auto is that you’ll always want more, as this smoke is just exquisite – it tastes like freshly picked weed-infused forest berries. The plant is huge and vigorous and can crowd your grow room in no time. Plus, it has no attitude problem and will do well even if you use the most basic of nutrients.
The high has the superpower of making you more creative, and you can feel the buzz hitting you full force within just 30 minutes. The effects are perfect for any time of day or night, but be aware of the high amount of THC – it might not be an Indica, but it can knock you out all the same!
3. Pineapple Express Auto
It’s no coincidence that there’s a movie dedicated to this strain – this genetics is really that good. The plant is like an express train rushing to the harvest, so make sure you provide a container of 3 gallons or more. From start to finish, the Pineapple Express Auto is a sight to behold. As a hybrid of both Sativa and Indica, this strain will deliver just the right amount of THC for you to roll on the floor laughing.
What makes this strain stand out apart from its high-yielding ability is that it tastes like a juicy pineapple. With a yield that can go above 550g/m2 when grown under the right conditions, this plant performs very well in colder climates. It even smells stronger in cool environments, so there isn’t much left to desire when you have a Pineapple Express Auto in your hands.
4. Gorilla Cookies Auto
Gorilla Cookies Auto starts small, but within a few weeks, it will explode into copious amounts of resin covering its buds and sugar leaves from head to toe. The smoke tastes and smells like delicious earthy cookie dough that’s sure to fire up your taste buds. Originally, Gorilla Cookies Auto had 27% THC, but Fast Buds improved the genetics even more and it now boasts up to 28.5% THC, resulting in a marvelous product that packs a punch.
This plant is truly exceptional, thanks to its ability to grow dense buds that are stacked from top to bottom. Truth be told, this hybrid strain does well with minimal nutrients. However, it's also thirsty, so make sure you water it well and it can yield up to 650 g/m2.
5. Zkittlez Auto
Candy, anyone? Zkittlez Auto tastes like a combination of exotic fruits that are super sweet but have a hint of sourness at the same time. The name may be tough to pronounce, but the plant isn't hard to grow. It has simple needs but delivers an outstanding performance.
It also boasts long inter-nodal spaces, but don't you worry about your plant appearing too leggy when it's young, since the length of the main stem and branches only helps the colas pack some more buds. This strain is Indica-dominant, but it doesn’t leave you stuck to the couch. It definitely has hints of Sativa since most people talk about euphoric sensations when they smoke Zkittlez Auto.
One aspect that’s immediately apparent with this plant is its capability to load trichomes like no other. With so much resin on the buds, you’ll have a hard time trimming this beauty. The colas are so fat and dense that branches often bend under the weight of up to 500g/m2 of flowers.
In Conclusion
Growing autoflowers might appear intimidating and risky, but with Fast Buds’ seed collection created specifically for beginners, you don’t have a thing to worry about. And with these five, you can grow as much bud as your heart desires!
