In this episode of Senior Savvy Cannabis, I sit down with seed expert Chase Werner to discuss one of the biggest debates in home growing: autoflower vs photoperiod cannabis plants.
We cover:
• Why some growers dislike autoflowers
• What autoflower cannabis actually is
• The differences between autoflower and photoperiod seeds
• Whether growing conditions can change how a strain feels
• Why I chose Jack Herer for my first home grow
• Common mistakes new growers make
• How feminized seeds are created
• What to do if you find a seed in your flower
• Training techniques for small grow tents
I’m documenting my very first home grow from seed to harvest, so if you’re thinking about growing your own cannabis, subscribe and follow along.
Have you grown autoflowers or photoperiods? Let me know your experience in the comments.
