Official Date Announced! January 31st, 2026

From early skepticism to record-setting THC levels, autos are proving that quality, consistency, and creativity can thrive on a faster timeline.

They are having their moment - and there’s no better place to see just how far they’ve come, than the American Autoflower Cup.

We are returning to Los Angeles, for our 4th edition on January 31st - bringing together the crème de la crème of the autoflower world - and the freshest highlights shaping the next chapter of the scene.

What began as a small gathering of dedicated breeders and growers has evolved into one of the most respected autoflower-focused events in the United States. Our gathering has become a cultural checkpoint - where innovation meets legacy, and where the community measures just how fast autos are catching up to their photoperiod counterparts.

Whether you’re a grower testing your limits, a breeder refining your lines, or simply someone who loves the plant in all its evolving forms, this is where you want to be. The Cup is more than competition- it’s a celebration of progress, of passion, and of the people who keep pushing cannabis forward.

If you’ve been following the rise of autoflowers, this is where it all comes together - one night, one stage, one shared passion.

This year’s event will feature live entertainment, interactive exhibitor booths, and a wide selection of exclusive merchandise from brands and partners within the cannabis space. It’s not only a celebration of cultivation excellence but also an open door for collaboration and discovery.

From growers comparing notes to breeders exchanging ideas, community networking sits at the heart of the event. Whether you’re a first-time cultivator, a seasoned breeder, or an autoflower enthusiast, you’ll find a space to share experiences, make connections, and meet the people pushing this movement forward.

As Cup Curator Jeremy Norrie has often said, “Autoflowers are the future of everyday cultivation - faster, more efficient, and now, just as good as anything else on the shelf.”

Competition registration is officially open, and spots fill quickly. Whether you’re a breeder ready to make your mark or a grower curious to see where you stand, this is your moment to take part in the most anticipated autoflower showcase in the country.
