Love autoflowers for their speed and discretion, but don’t want to sacrifice premium flavor and aroma? This recipe was developed specifically for the unique biorythm of autoflowering plants. It gets the absolute most out of their short life cycle – without stress.
The recipe in detail:
Autoflowers flower automatically, regardless of the light cycle. This recipe optimizes the energy for their fast life cycle.
- Extended photoperiod: 18/6 or even 20/4 from start to finish. Since autoflowers do not need a dark period to flower, they are given as much light energy as possible for photosynthesis.
- Spectrum: A slightly blue-heavy, full spectrum from the start, which promotes vegetative growth before the plant switches to flowering on its own. The spectrum is adjusted during flowering.
- Super-Long Twilight: An extremely slow simulated sunrise and sunset. This helps the autoflower to start and finish its metabolism more efficiently, resulting in better overall health and terpene production.

- Stretching: Variable, but mostly moderate. Autoflowers often remain compact, but some modern strains can also grow larger.
