Beginning of October outdoor harvest time cannabis strains are those where breeders mark an approximate outdoor harvest window around the start of October on their seed datasheets.
These strains wrap up flowering as autumn kicks in across temperate zones, when the days get shorter and the air turns cooler. Most lean heavily indica or carry fast-finishing hybrid genetics that get the job done before the worst of the autumn rains and frosts roll in.
Read MoreWhere these strains evolved
These strains owe a lot to the mountains and valleys of Central Asia and the Middle East. In those places, summers are short and autumn comes on fast, so plants that hung about too long simply didn't make it.
Over time, the genetics that survived were the ones that flowered quickly, built compact buds, and finished before the cold set in.
European and North American breeders spotted the potential in those hardy lines and spent decades refining them, picking out plants that stayed small, matured fast, and shrugged off damp and chill.
Some breeders also mixed in a dash of sativa vigour to keep resin flowing and structure interesting, but the backbone stayed indica.
That focus on speed and toughness is why breeders now confidently stamp early October on the datasheet for so many strains.
Standout examples of beginning of October harvest strains
Blueberry is the one everyone knows. DJ Short built it from indica stock, and when it's legally grown outdoors in Oregon's temperate climate it hits its sweet spot in the second or third week of October.
Dense buds, thick resin, and that unmistakable berry scent made it a legend among collectors. Frisian Dew from Dutch Passion is another classic that finishes around late September or early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
It blends Purple Star and Super Skunk, and people love it for the way the leaves turn colour and the plant wraps up reliably before the weather turns nasty.
Auto Mazar, also from Dutch Passion, takes a different route, it's an autoflower that runs about 100 days from seed to finish outdoors, so it doesn't wait for the light to change.
Think Fast is a photoperiod strain with a twist: it carries recessive autoflower genetics that speed up the flowering cycle, so it's ready by early October in many temperate spots.
All these strains share a common thread, they were bred to finish before autumn really bites. Blueberry's indica roots keep it compact and quick. Frisian Dew's Purple Star parentage adds colour and cold tolerance, while the Super Skunk side keeps things robust.
Auto Mazar's autoflower genetics mean it matures on its own clock. Think Fast bridges the gap between photoperiod reliability and autoflower speed, giving collectors a strain that behaves like a traditional plant but finishes weeks earlier than most.
Beyond these named examples, loads of indica-leaning hybrids from European and North American breeders land in this harvest window. Many mix Afghan, Kush, or Skunk genetics to get that compact shape and rapid finish.
These strains tend to pack on dense buds, produce plenty of resin, and carry a genetic history shaped by decades of selection for speed and resilience in cooler climates.
Collectors value them not just for their famous names or breeders' reputations, but for the way they represent a lineage that's been honed to thrive in the narrow window between late summer and mid-autumn.
Whether it's the berry-scented Blueberry, the colourful Frisian Dew, the clockwork Auto Mazar, or the speedy Think Fast, each strain tells a story of adaptation and careful breeding aimed at finishing reliably before the season slams shut.
Beginning of October Frequently Asked Questions
It means the breeder reckons the strain will reach maturity around the start of October when grown outdoors in temperate climates. It's a catalogue label, not a how-to guide.
They carry indica-heavy or fast-finishing hybrid genetics that evolved in places with short growing seasons, so they wrap up flowering before heavy autumn rains and frosts arrive.
Most are indica-dominant or indica-leaning hybrids. Pure sativas from equatorial regions usually need longer flowering periods and finish later in autumn, if at all, in temperate zones.
DJ Short's Blueberry and Dutch Passion's Frisian Dew and Auto Mazar are well-known examples. Plenty of European and North American breeders offer strains in this window, often mixing Afghan, Kush, or Skunk genetics.
No, but they share a common trait: genetics picked for rapid maturation and resilience in cooler climates, often tracing back to Central Asian or Middle Eastern indica lines.
Autoflowers like Auto Mazar mature based on age rather than light cycles. Some finish around 100 days from seed, placing them in the beginning-of-October window.
Blueberry, created by DJ Short, is an iconic indica-dominant strain that reaches optimal maturity in the second to third week of October in Oregon's temperate climate, known for dense buds and berry-like resin.
Frisian Dew combines Purple Star and Super Skunk genetics, finishes around late September or early October, and it is renowned for colourful foliage and reliable maturation in temperate regions.
No. Actual maturity shifts with local climate, latitude, and weather conditions. The beginning-of-October label is an approximation based on temperate growing conditions.
Decades of selection for speed, compact structure, and cold tolerance shaped these genetics, making them suited to regions where autumn arrives quickly and the outdoor season is short.
