How to Maximize Your Blueberry Autoflower Yield
Auto Blueberry cannabis plants are sturdy against pests and diseases. The strain is renowned for its forgiving nature, wading off rookie mistakes easily. Plus, its Indica-dominant genetics ensure it stays compact at 75 cm indoors and 100 cm outdoors. It fits into an average grow tent, and you won’t have to worry about complex pruning techniques or height training.
Blueberry Auto is a prolific strain that is capable of producing impressive yields indoors and outdoors. Growers can look up to 350-500 g/m² indoors. Outdoor setup realizes an easily achievable yield of around 50 g per plant for rookies, going up to 200 g per plant for a seasoned grower.
Seed Germination
High-quality seeds from a reputable shop guarantee high germination rates. The germination process is pretty straightforward. Start with soaking the seeds in clean water for a day or two. You can then take the seeds out and place them in a moist towel, placing them in a dark place that is gently warm 75-80°F (24-27°C). The seeds sprout with tiny roots coming out. Once the tail shows up, they are ready for transplanting into a loose growing medium.
Lighting
Due to its rapid growth, the blueberry auto plants thrive best under strong light, especially in the vegetative stage. Well, the plant may not need light cycle adjustments during flowering, but switching to 12/12 helps the plant bud better. LED or CFL lights are great choices for Blueberry Auto. Just keep the lights at the right distance from the plants to avoid scorching them.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is a bit different and easier to use. You need to ensure that you are getting direct sun light for 6 to 8 hours per day. If you are in hotter climates with intense sunlight, position your plants near taller plants to provide some shaded areas. There are also shade cloths that can be used as well. Blueberry Auto is
remarkably adaptable and thrives indoors and outdoors. The secret to higher yields in outdoor growing is choosing a sunny spot for your plants. The buds tend to be fluffier when exposed to insufficient sunlight. Indoor setups offer more control as you can adjust each aspect of the environment.
Temperature
Throughout most of its growth phases, the Blueberry autoflower plants prosper in temperatures of about 65-75°F (18-24°C). For optimal results, ensure that the temperatures are stable. Additionally, if you would love to enhance the purple hues on your plants, lower the night temperatures to around 60-65°F (15-18°C) towards the end of the flowering stage.
Humidity
It is important to monitor humidity levels in your grow room. A higher humidity attracts diseases and pests. A 40-50% humidity level helps prevent mold and bud rot, especially during the flowering phase. It also encourages healthy resin production.

Tips For Building the Best Blueberry Autoflower Grow Room
Whether you are growing indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, a proper grow room or space can make all the difference. Here are simple tips to help your blueberry autoflowering seeds produce a satisfying yield.
- Containers and growing medium: Opt for a well-draining medium that is rich in nutrients. Blueberry plants can achieve higher yields with a hydroponics setup. However, their fast flowering also makes them a candidate for the Sea of Green (SOG) setup. While these need some technical know-how, you can still benefit from an organic soil mixture.
- Pest and disease control: It is important to keep your growing room or space clean. Only use clean water when watering your plants. You should closely monitor your plants for signs of any attacks and fight them using organic control methods.
- Watering and nutrients: Blueberry Auto rapidly depletes nutrients in the growing medium thanks to its vigorous growth. Provide a balanced nutrition program that is nitrogen-rich during the vegetative stage. Phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizers help the buds grow healthier. Water your plants generously after ensuring that the top inch head dries out.
- Harvesting drying and curing: Blueberry autoflowering plants are ready for harvest once the trichomes turn to a milky white color with hints of amber. Use sharp pruning shears to trim any extra foliage before cutting the buds. Place the harvested buds in a cool, dark place for drying before transferring them to an airtight container to further enhance their flavor and potency.
Pro Grow Tip : It is very important to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity within your grow area, in order to prevent stress and mildew.
Origin And History
This strain’s genetics are deeply rooted in the original blueberry that was created in the 1970s from crossing a Thai Sativa and Afghani Indica. The current autoflowering version was developed from a special feminized plant crossed with an Indica-dominant. Through careful backcrossing and selective breeding, it was perfected through the F5 generation, achieving its stable auto, Indica, and feminized genetics. It, however, maintains the old sweet blueberry aroma and taste that made its parent strain famous.
The Auto Blueberry is widely credited to Dutch Passion. The top breeder based in Amsterdam has a rich cannabis breeding history. The original Blueberry was a creation of DJ Short, who played a crucial role in bringing genetics to Europe.
