Five Autoflowering Sativa Strains New Growers Should Try

Autoflower sativa strains are a match made in heaven. Combining the autoflowering trait of the ruderalis plant into sativas removes many factors that make them hard to grow. Ruderalis’ natural resistance carries over to autoflowering sativa strains; that means auto-flower sativa cannabis is more resilient to pests and diseases like mold and mildew.

If you’re looking to try your first sativa strain, we recommend starting with its autoflower variant. While it won’t give you the true sativa experience when it comes to cultivation, it’ll give you a good idea of what to expect.

Durban Poison autoflower

Durban Poison Auto is the best way to showcase the full potential of autoflowering sativa strains. The auto strain is resilient against most diseases, which is rare for most sativas. It can also thrive in warmer climates and climates with early frost. That means Durban Poison Auto can handle both extremes when it comes to temperature.

Why are sativa strains not as common as indicas?

Sativa strains are prized for their energizing and creativity-boosting highs, starkly contrasting to the relaxing body high of indica strains. Yet, despite people’s love for sativa cannabis buds, they’re not as common in the market. This has nothing to do with preferences but has everything to do with growing.

Sativa cannabis plants are known for how difficult they are to grow. Not only do sativa strains produce tall plants, but they’re also notorious for their long flowering period. Those two factors alone make growing sativas more trouble than its worth. But with sativa autoflower strains, you don’t get those problems.

Conclusion

Autoflowering sativas are a match made in heaven. They remove the problems associated with regular sativa strains— such as the long flowering period and the tall plants they produce. This is why you shouldn’t sleep on autoflowers, especially since their genetics constantly improve to produce better yields.
