Join Dr. Daniela Vergara, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Agricultural Genomics Foundation for a discussion of research on the potential performance and profitability of Cannabis sativa autoflower and photoperiod varieties, exploring how plant type and planting date may influence yield.
Autoflowers, which are not sensitive to day length, can be planted twice or even multiple times within a single season, unlike photoperiods, which are typically planted once. Because autoflowers may require less hand labor, they could potentially be more profitable overall, even though they are smaller in size than photoperiods.
