Autoflowering Genetics in 2025: Benefits for Growers
I’m James Bean, founder of SeedsHereNow.com, a seed provider since 2010. Autoflowers weren’t always on my radar—until a transformative trip to Alaska in 2015. Now, by 2025, autoflowering genetics have evolved to compete with the best in the industry.
From Humble Beginnings to Mainstream Excellence
Early autoflowers were quick but underwhelming in potency and yield. Today, breeders have enhanced these traits, making autoflowers as desirable as photoperiod strains. For example, innovative breeding has brought strains like TH Seeds’ Auto Northern Hog, which matches top-tier photoperiod strains in THC content
