I might buy this:http://www.cannabis-seeds.co.uk/products/5253/critical.html

But I don't know what autoflowering is. Does it flower quicker so I can harvest quicker?

any help would be great ! ;]

An autoflowering plant is a plant that will flower regardless of the the photo-period. Meaning it will flower under 24 hours of light. Auto-flowering plants are plants crossed with a ruderalis which is a hemp plant but allows the cross to gain the trait of flowering without a dark period.

Autoflowers dont flower per light schedule, they flower at a genetically determined age. thats what makes cloning autos next to impossible because the cutting is the same age as the plant, and will flower around the same time regardless of light schedule

im growind 9 right now, 3 different strains, and all of them showed pre-flowers by 4 weeks, and all were flowering into week 5
breeders packs say 60-70days seed to chop, so we'll see
these are all going into their 7th week (3 in the back are photoperiod plants, not autos)
