An important difference with its cousins Indica and Sativa and which allows him to adapt to a significant number of gardens.<\/p>\n\n<p>For photoperiod sensitive plants, the &#8220;traditional&#8221; varieties, <strong>flowering starts with the reduction of sunlight hours.<\/strong> When growing outdoors, production will start in early July more or less. Indoors, it will be necessary to leave 12 hours of light for the plants to begin to bloom.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"autoflowering cannabis\" class=\"wp-image-11478\" width=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-990x1485.jpg 990w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-441x662.jpg 441w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-64x96.jpg 64w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2664-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Outdoor autoflowering cannabis plant. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Therefore, by growing autoflowering cannabis plants outdoors, it will be possible to harvest several crops in one season. It can therefore be an <strong>excellent option<\/strong> to have some grass to eat during the summer without having to wait for September-October as it is the case with the photosensitive plants.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Indoors<\/strong>, it will not be necessary to change the photoperiod for Ruderalis plants to start producing flowers. Some growers choose to leave 18H of light, but it is possible to <strong>increase to 20H<\/strong> or even leave the light on continuously to get the maximum from the cannabis plants.<\/p>\n\n<p>Autoflowering plants are therefore separate. They propose most of the time a reduced size (except in the cases of autoflowering cannabis plants XXL) and a compact structure. However, Rudelaris cannabis plants will retain all the hallmarks of cannabis plants, with autoflowering cannabis leaves similar to photosensitive genetics.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/moby-dick-xxl-auto-cultivo-autoflorecientes-i_blog_full.jpg\" alt=\"Indoor growing of autoflowers.\" class=\"wp-image-11499\" width=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/moby-dick-xxl-auto-cultivo-autoflorecientes-i_blog_full.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/moby-dick-xxl-auto-cultivo-autoflorecientes-i_blog_full-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/moby-dick-xxl-auto-cultivo-autoflorecientes-i_blog_full-441x331.jpg 441w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/moby-dick-xxl-auto-cultivo-autoflorecientes-i_blog_full-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulkgenetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/moby-dick-xxl-auto-cultivo-autoflorecientes-i_blog_full-64x48.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Growing Moby Dick XXL (Dinafem)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>We hope to have answered your doubts about autoflowering cannabis plants.
