Frequently Asked Questions about Early-Flowering Strains
- What does "early-flowering" mean for cannabis strains?
- Early-flowering cannabis strains have a particularly short flowering period, often only 7 to 9 weeks, compared to regular strains, which need 10 to 12 weeks or more. This enables an earlier harvest in Germany before the wet autumn sets in. Early-flowering strains are specially bred for cool climates and offer higher mold resistance as well as robustness against temperature fluctuations.
- Which early-flowering strain has the shortest flowering time?
- The shortest flowering time in our Top 10 is Early Pearl Reg. with 50-70 days and Early Skunk with 55-65 days. Autoflowering strains like Early Skunk Automatic require only 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest and even allow several harvests per season.
- Are early-flowering strains less potent than regular strains?
- No, early-flowering strains are not less potent. Many early-flowering strains such as Northern Lights (18% THC), Critical (18% THC), or Early Maroc (17% THC) reach high THC levels. The short flowering time is the result of targeted breeding and has no negative influence on the potency, aroma, or quality of the buds.
