Blueberry autoflower seeds will produce plants that have simple growing requirements and a rapid growth rate. These two characteristics make them the ideal starting point for novice growers. One of the biggest advantages is hassle-free lighting which means you will not have to change your lights on/lights off schedule. And with a shorter life cycle, you can have multiple harvests all year round. The plants are small and stout, but that does not mean that the buds are of lesser quality. With all these benefits, there is no reason for you to forego the autoflower option.
Nevertheless, you may have encountered some misconceptions about autos, so let us give you the facts. First, cannabis is often divided into three species,
not just two. These are Indica, Sativa, and lesser-known Ruderalis. Growers in the 1970s combined Cannabis ruderalis genes with existing strains because the resulting hybrids could enter the flowering stage earlier and with minimal fuss. Second, the modified plants are hardier and able to withstand colder temperatures since their parents have adapted to the harsh climate of northern Europe and Asia. Finally, although the initial crossbreeds produced scant yields with lower levels of cannabinoids,
constant experimentation has resulted in significantly better outputs these days. In the case of Blueberry Autos, the THC level is an impressive 14% on average.
Blueberry autoflower thrives best indoors and matures fast in only 55 to 65 days. It remains short and compact throughout its life, achieving a maximum height between 23 and 35 inches (60 to 90 cm). It does not require any training or topping, and you can keep your grow lights at a constant 20 hours on, 4 hours off schedule from germination to flowering. In the end, you can expect to harvest about five ounces of usable bud per three square feet of grow space. If you supplement your plant with the right micronutrients and maintain the proper pH level, the yield could even go as high as seven ounces (200 grams).
Outdoors, the yield is a bit less – around three ounces (85 grams) per plant. Still, if you have no choice but to grow out in the open, you can rest assured that the plant’s short stature will hide it from inquisitive neighbors. It will need lots of sunlight, but brief drops in temperature will not have any adverse effects. To maximize your crop, we suggest that you take advantage of its short life span by germinating your next batch of auto seeds at the same time that you are harvesting from the first one. That way, you can have continuous production all year round.
As Blueberry autoflower matures, you will be able to spot purple and red tones on its leaves. This is due to the high concentration of anthocyanins,
a flavonoid that provides color as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The trichomes will be glassy and transparent, enveloping the buds with a sticky and potent resin. Proper drying and curing will intensify the bright purple color and fruity aroma of your buds.
