Autoflower Life Cycle

Autoflower week 1: germination / seedling The germination stage takes between 1 and 3 days to show, depending on your setup and varietal. Your seed will activate during this week and begin sprouting roots below and a shoot above. This is a highly anticipated period for first-time growers, as you'll get to see if your plant is off to a racing start.

When the tiny plant begins to put on the first few leaves, it is called the seedling phase of autoflowering . This phase usually begins one week after placing the seeds on the ground and ends after 2 weeks. At the onset of this period, autoflowering seedlings do not need nutrients other than those already present.

Stage 1: Germination and Early Seedling Stage The first stage of growing autoflowering plants is the germination phase. During this initial stage, the cannabis seeds form a root that grows downwards and a shoot that grows upwards with a couple of cotyledon leaves to absorb the light.
