VIP Seeds: Best Strains For Auto Growers

Founded in Spain in 2011, VIP Seeds was among the first seed banks to recognize autoflowering genetics as the next big thing.

From imported Moroccan hash and the indoor cultivation of Skunk to the first clumsy attempts at adapting high-THC weed to a less-than-ideal climate, Europe has long been trying to become a self-sufficient producer of smokeables. Autoflowers were the next logical step. The emergence of these early-flowering and fast-finishing plants meant that any grower in a region with just a 2-month-long summer could harvest buds that beat any street weed in terms of bag appeal, taste and potency.

At VIP Seeds, they use especially hard-to-kill Ruderalis genetics found in subarctic territories of Russia and Canada. Enhanced by such tough DNA, this seed bank’s autos are not only fast, but also unmindful of cold spells and hard rains and even the occasional hailstorm – as if they weren’t fighting for their lives, but bathing in the Mediterranean sun of their native country. Aside from this incredible robustness, VIP’s autoflowers are just as amazing quality-wise because they carry only a small bit of Ruderalis in their genes; the rest is made up of the most powerful and flavorful genetics on today’s market.

Lucky Finds From All Over The Globe

The steady demand for VIP Seeds varieties goes beyond autoflowers. The company also offers many photoperiod-dependent strains sold as feminized and regular seeds. We strongly recommend trying them all. These plants are all based on the best genetics, mostly Dutch and Spanish, but also American. VIP Seeds’ diverse team makes sure that only the world’s most elite varieties make the cut and get featured in their catalog. Before this happens, every strain undergoes rigorous testing for uniformity, vitality, high yields, and quality of the end product.

VIP Seeds: Weed For The Masses

One more thing that distinguishes this seed bank from the competition is their belief that any grower deserves to raise a perfect plant without going broke. To ensure this, they offer a modest price tag that could even be called disproportionately low considering the top-shelf quality of the buds that can be grown from these seeds. Another factor to consider is the rigorous control of quality that every batch of seeds undergoes. If 100% of your beans sprout instead of, say 50%, it's a double gain for you. And with VIP Seeds, this happens every time!
