The AST method: A German-patented genetic breakthrough
Discover the autoflower switching technique (AST), a revolutionary light-based cannabis cultivation method developed by apexstrains.com. Learn how this german-patented technology is changing the future of cannabis growing.

Superior to other methods
Apexstrains is the developer of the autoflower switching technique (AST), a proprietary light-based cultivation method protected by a german utility patent (Nr. 20 2025 001 771). Our technology bridges the gap between photoperiod and autoflower genetics, creating a 'third category' of plant that offers:
- Speed & Resilience: The rapid lifecycle of an autoflower.
- Industrial Yield: The high biomass and node density of a photoperiod.
- Genetic Preservation: The first viable method for cloning autoflower plants.
This non-GMO, chemical-free intervention is currently undergoing industrial-scale validation in bangkok, thailand, as part of our global patent expansion.
