Auto Flowering Hybrids — 163 Day-Neutral Varieties for New Zealand Growers
All 163 of these run on age rather than daylight, which in New Zealand removes the single hardest decision an outdoor grower makes: when to plant so the finish lands before the weather turns. An autoflower started in November is done on its own schedule, whether it is sitting in Kaitaia or Invercargill. THC across the group averages around 20%. Sown in succession, they also give the one thing a photoperiod cannot — more than one harvest in a single season.
Also worth a look: all autoflowering seeds across every strain type, hybrid seeds including photoperiod hybrids, and feminised hybrids for a larger plant and a heavier harvest.

What this shelf holds
163 varieties sit on this shelf right now, and the THC figures on their listings run from 5% up to 31%, with the middle of the group at 20%. Counted from the catalogue when this page was built, so it matches the grid below.
- Day-neutral: 163 (100%). These run on age, so the New Zealand daylight cycle is irrelevant to them.
- Balanced crosses: 163. Somewhere between the two, and generally the easier grow for it.
- First three alphabetically: 24k Gold, Aberdeen and Afghan Big Bud. The grid below filters on finishing time, height and type.

A Numerical Look at the Auto Flowering Hybrids
Of the 163 varieties here, 163 sit as balanced hybrids (100%). Every one is autoflowering, so none of them need a light-cycle change to bloom. The mean listed THC across the group is about 20%, which is a genetic ceiling rather than a guarantee — the figure a plant actually reaches depends on light, feeding and harvest timing. These counts are read from the catalogue when the page is built, so they move when stock moves and cannot drift away from what is listed below.
Growing This Category Outdoors in New Zealand
New Zealand spans roughly 34 to 47 degrees south, and the outdoor season at one end of that range looks nothing like the other. Northland gives you the longest outdoor season in the country, paid for with subtropical humidity through the autumn finish. Auckland, by contrast, gives you mild winters and a long season, usually grown on small urban sections where plant height is the limit. Because these finish on age rather than daylight, both regions are workable — the autoflower's advantage is that it does not care which one you are in. The variable that ends most New Zealand outdoor grows is not cold and it is not light — it is botrytis in dense flower during a wet autumn, so airflow, spacing and an honest finishing date do more for a harvest than any nutrient decision.
Running Autoflowers Without Wasting the Cycle
An autoflower's clock starts at germination and does not pause, which changes the rules. Sow into the container the plant will finish in — every transplant check costs days you cannot get back, and there is no vegetative period to recover them in. Feed lightly early; a seedling under a full-strength schedule stunts, and a stunted autoflower stays small. Skip heavy training: topping an eight-week plant trades yield for stress it has no time to absorb, so low-stress tying is as far as it is worth going. Run 18 to 20 hours of light indoors from start to finish. Outdoors in New Zealand, sowing in staggered batches from late October through December turns one season into two or three separate harvests. Across the 163 varieties here, that cycle is the common factor — nothing in this category needs a timer change to bloom.
