The ability to yield multiple harvests of autoflowering varieties in the same amount of time as a single regular grow cycle means large-scale growers can much more easily keep up with the exploding demand for product, and the freedom from the same level of traditional lighting management means that autoflowers can be grown more efficiently &amp; sustainably.<\/p>\n<p>Low-stakes inputs and a shorter amount of time until harvest are also great benefits for new homegrowers who can start to get the hang of the growing process with the ability to grow autos in backyard pots or garden beds and with fewer lighting considerations and then see the fruits of their labor sooner rather than later. Who wouldn\u2019t get hooked after yielding their first successful harvest right from their porch after just 60 to 90 days?<\/p>\n<p>Dedicated to producing the highest quality cannabis seeds, Humboldt Seed Company offers an array of options for folks who want to grow their own plants.
