Top 10 Best Outdoor Autoflower Strains to Grow
Are you ready to kick-start the new growing season with a bountiful harvest? Look no further, because we have just what you need with this list of the top 10 best outdoor autoflower strains for the 2024 season.
What are Autoflowering Seeds?
Autoflowering seeds are a game-changer for outdoor cannabis growers, offering unmatched convenience and simplicity. Compared to traditional strains, autoflowers have Ruderalis genetics infused in them, and like Ruderalis, they don't depend on light cycles to switch from vegetation to flowering. This enables autoflowers to complete their growth cycle within just 2-2.5 months from seed.
Why You Should Grow Autoflowers
Growing autoflowers outdoors offers a host of advantages for growers. One standout benefit is the opportunity to harvest throughout the growing season, allowing for two or even more back-to-back harvests instead of just one in the fall. Autoflowers also excel in cooler climates where growing photoperiods may be difficult.
These tough and discreet plants are perfect for discreet gardens. With advancements in breeding, the top outdoor autoflower strains now offer the same quality and potency as photoperiod varieties.

Tips for Growing and Harvesting Autoflowering Strains Outdoors
Choose any of our best autoflower strains to grow outdoors and you’ll instantly set yourself up for success, as good genetics can shine in even the most inexperienced hands. Additionally, you can improve your growing techniques and achieve even better results by following these tips:
- Choose the warmest and sunniest time of year. You have the luxury of two good summer months in practically any climate. If your climate is very cool, the best spot will be a south-facing slope.
- Use big containers or plant your autoflowers in raised beds. Otherwise, the yield potential of these champs will go to waste.
- Amend the soil with organic nutrients. While Sativa-dominant autos are less demanding, those that lean to the Indica side have a greater appetite, and all of them will only achieve substantial growth and high yields with adequate nutrition.
- Water regularly. Rains won’t be enough in most climates, and you’ll get the best results by watering first thing every morning.
- Training autoflowers outdoors is optional, but it’s highly recommended to use stakes and trellises for the highest-yielding varieties.
- Monitor the color of the trichomes to choose the best moment to harvest. For the best results, cut the plants at dawn and before a rainy spell, if anticipated.
