Wow, what we have here is a bunch of comments without the science behind it. Number 1, lets start here. They are AUTOFLOWER. What does this mean......well, first you need to know that autoflower always carries the ruderalis trait. This strain does not need a change in the light cycle...but, it has very little THC., It is a form of hemp. So, To fix this they created a hybrid by mixing the ruderalis with the commonly known indica and sativa to boost the THC. Now listen.......Once the mating is complete and you have a ruderalis/indica hybrid you need to think about the science needed to grow a regular indica starin. It requires light, does it not? So thinking about this you would then deduce that some dark period is necessary. And that would be for the Indica trait, not the ruderalis trait. As long as you give your plant enough light to sustain itself as far as the indica trait is concerned. CHECK THIS OUT....Ruderalis plant also known as Cannabis ruderalis is an alleged species of Cannabis which originated from the Central regions of Asia. This type of Cannabis plant flowers earlier than Indica and Sativa. It does not grow as tall as the two other species but it can withstand more cruel weathers. Ruderalis plant has the capability of auto-flowering which makes them advantageous to Cannabis growers because of their discreet size, shorter growing period, and they don’t rely on a change in light schedule to identify when to flower. They are automatic, a monster.
Ruderalis got its name from its homeland – the former Soviet Union. Ruderalis was used by the Soviets to describe the different varieties of hemp which adapted the surrounding region after it had escaped cultivation. Ruderalis contains lower THC compared to either Sativa or Indica, that’s why it has gotten little interest until the time when growers started to breed the different varieties. A lot of growers didn’t like growing this plant way back in times because of its low THC content but when the idea of breeding started, Ruderalis has become the favorite ingredient. Its toughness, discreet size, auto-flowering capabilities and a lot more have made it an eye catcher for a lot of cannabis growers. Usually, indica strains are cross-bred with Ruderalis to produce marijuana which has the THC content of indica and the toughness and the discreet height of Ruderalis. These high-breeds have auto-flowering capabilities which they got from their Ruderalis genes. These high-breed marijuana plants are considered to be one of the best strains.
