Auto-Flowering Sativas: 49 Strains That Flower on Age, Not Daylight
A day-neutral group of 49. Nothing here needs a timer changed or a season judged — the plant starts flowering when it is old enough and finishes roughly ten to twelve weeks from germination. For a first grow, or for a small space where a photoperiod plant would outgrow the headroom, that predictability is usually worth more than the extra weight a longer cycle would have produced. The group averages around 20% THC.
Also worth a look: all autoflowering seeds across every strain type, sativa seeds including photoperiod sativas, and energising strains for the same effect from any seed type.

What this shelf holds
49 varieties sit on this shelf right now, and the THC figures on their listings run from 15% up to 33%, 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: 49 (100%). These run on age, so the New Zealand daylight cycle is irrelevant to them.
- Sativa-leaning: 49. Taller, later, and worth the season length only where you have it.
- First three alphabetically: 3 Kings, Acapulco Gold and Agent Tangie. The grid below filters on finishing time, height and type.

A Numerical Look at the Auto-Flowering Sativas
Of the 49 varieties here, 49 lean sativa (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.
Where in New Zealand This Works
Where you are growing in New Zealand changes the answer more than which variety you choose does. the Waikato gives you heavy autumn dews and morning fog that sit in dense flower long after sunrise. the Bay of Plenty, by contrast, gives you high sunshine hours alongside humid Marches that punish tight bud structure. 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. Cold is rarely the thing that ends a season in this country. Humidity in late flower is, which makes open structure and a finishing date you can defend worth more than a few extra grams of potential yield.
Multiple Harvests in One New Zealand Season
The practical argument for growing day-neutral plants in New Zealand is arithmetic. A photoperiod plant sown in October comes down once, in autumn. Autoflowers sown in staggered batches — one in late October, one in early December, one in January — can produce two or three separate harvests from the same patch of ground before the weather closes in, and each of them ripens before the wettest part of the autumn. The individual plants are smaller; the season total is often not. It also spreads risk, which matters in a country where a single wet fortnight can take out a crop. Across the 49 varieties here, that cycle is the common factor — nothing in this category needs a timer change to bloom.
