Key Differences:

• Flowering Time: Autoflower seeds have a much shorter flowering period compared to photoperiod seeds.
• Environment Requirements: Photoperiod seeds need a specific light-dark cycle to flower, while autoflower seeds can grow indoors or outdoors under any light conditions.
• Height and Structure: Autoflower strains are generally shorter and more compact, while photoperiod strains can grow taller and more spread out.
