Top 5 autoflower seeds to grow a Christmas weed tree

Some autoflower strains grow into the classic Xmas tree shape, with a dominant tall central bloom surrounded by a series of side blooms. Such strains are not just pleasing on the eye, they also are easy and predicable to grow - typically with no maintenance or pruning required.
Grow the best autoflower seeds and you can also expect top-shelf buds in generous quantities.
Best autoflower cannabis seeds to grow a Christmas tree
For those that like a Christmas-tree shaped auto complete with an easy grow experience these five proven strains will never disappoint!
Auto Glueberry OG, epic yields and potent buds in XXL amounts
A cannabis cup winner noted for her extravagant yields, Auto Glueberry OG uses killer cannabis genetics from Gorilla Glue x Blueberry x OG Kush. She grows into a classic Xmas-tree shape but she does require a grow cycle of around 12 weeks.
That maybe a week or two longer than your usual varieties, but your patience is rewarded with one of the heaviest yielding autoflower strains available.
THC levels are well over 20% with elevated levels of CBG (1.3%) and CBC (0.3%) seen on recent lab tests. Plant maintenance is easy, with little to do other than admire plant grow and gradually increase nutrients and light levels.
Auto Forbidden Cherry, purple/red plants with searing potency
Auto Forbidden Cherry grows well indoors (9-10 week grow cycle) but her real star qualities lie in her outdoor performance where she offers exceptional resilience towards the weather.
If you’re looking for a tough, robust outdoor auto that grows with ease and vigour this is your best choice. She can take a real beating and still deliver a high-quality result.
She grows in an Xmas-tree style with predictable growth and buds with some of the best jar-appeal you could imagine. Rich autumnal hues adorn the buds alongside a thick trichome crusting. Deliciously relaxing effects!
Auto Mazar, the classic auto Kush with pungent Afghani aromas
Star-member of the acclaimed Afghani Kush cannabis seed collection, Auto Mazar offers a pungent, penetrating aroma typical of the best Afghani stinkers. A heavy-hitting effect and a powerful anti-anxiety experience are two hallmarks of this classic strain.
Indoors she takes around 10-11 weeks to complete her grow cycle. Outdoors she takes a couple of weeks longer. Whether grown indoors or outdoors she typically adopts an Xmas-tree style shape and is a particularly tough and durable strain with a blissfully enjoyable high.
Auto Orange Bud, sweet citrus taste and stress-busting effects
Auto Orange Bud is one of the most potent sativa strains in the autoflower seed collection. She takes around 75 days to grow from autoflower seed to harvest and is the connoisseur’s choice for those that want a zesty, refreshing taste coupled with powerfully numbing effects.
Squeeze the cured buds between your fingers and the orange aroma simply oozes out. Yields are also above average, but for most repeat growers it’s the vape-quality and the ease of growth that gets top marks.
Auto Xtreme Haze, autoflowering Haze with epic potency
Auto Xtreme Haze is a sativa strain with an 11 to 12-week indoor grow cycle. As always, allow a couple of extra weeks when growing autoflower seeds outdoors or in a greenhouse.
As well as some of the highest THC levels we have seen on an autoflower (20%+), you get the original fresh Haze scent. And of course, the soaring, euphoric Haze high which aficionados adore.
Auto Xtreme Haze can produce tall plants, sometimes over 1m high with the familiar Christmas tree shape. As with all the Dutch Passion autoflower seeds, if you can maximise light intensity/power you can push these high-performance genetics to the max.
Use of LED grow lights and supplemental UVA/UVB lights should deliver the highest total cannabinoid content and the richest terpene profile.
Growing your own cannabis Christmas tree from seeds
Growing these cannabis seeds should produce the traditional autoflower structure which resembles a Christmas tree. However, those that routinely train or top their autoflowers will NOT get the Xmas tree shape. Topping autoflowers produces squat, bushy autoflowers.
But allow your autos to grow in the natural way and the strains recommended above should produce Xmas-tree style plants. Pushing your genetics to the limit by keeping them in the nutrient and optical sweet spot from autoflower seed to harvest allows the expert grower chance to bag the heaviest harvests.
Growing cannabis the natural way in an Xmas tree structure can allow heavy harvests without any of the plant maintenance hassles associated with the cannabis SCROG method, low stress training (LST) or high stress training (HST).
Stunting autoflower growth, e.g. with inaccurate nutrition or lighting will restrict final plant size and structure. Many find the simplest way to grow autos is to use a large, aerated container (e.g. 30 litre air pots or felt sacks). The aerated root zone allows rapid growth. Use of slow-release organic nutrients (BioTabs are market leaders, check out our BioTabs user/feeding guide) greatly simplifies nutrition and offers the easiest grow with maximum latitude.
