One of the main reasons growers choose autoflowers is how fast they can go from seed to full maturity. Autoflower strains like those bred by Fast Buds are ready in 8-10 weeks, meaning you can harvest two or even three times in the time it would take you to grow a photoperiodic plant.

 

Below, we run down the fastest growing autoflower strains from Fast Buds. If speed is what you're after, you'll find it here. Also, don't forget to check out our guide detailing the best time to harvest autoflowering cannabis.

1. Guava Auto

 

One of the best hybrid autoflowering strains on our list, Guava Auto kicks like a mule but doesn't knock you out and is perfect for an active day out in the sun. It's a reliable producer as well, being one of the most popular strains in California at the moment and amongst our highest-yielding varieties. Guava Auto usually hits full maturity around week eight or nine, rewarding you with a bunch of flowers drenched in dankness and offering a mouth-watering mix of fruity and doughy terps.

With THC levels reaching 28.5% and CBD levels lower than 1%, this one-of-a-kind strain offers an experience like no other. The high cannabinoid content provides a giddy euphoria and profound relaxation without a couch-lock – perfect for those who don’t want to experience a narcotic type of effects.

“This strain was an absolute joy to grow. Super easy and took a lot of beating from my part during the grow. Once into flower it's amazing how fast they'll start swelling. Its like the turbo chargers kicked in as you should see daily growth. The colors of the flowers are a deep deep purple that are covered in frost and red hairs, so it makes them look picture perfect. “

3. Gorilla Punch Auto

 

Gorilla Punch Auto is the crown jewel among Fast Buds' purple strains. Its award-winning dark-colored flowers are such a breath-taking spectacle that you have to see it to believe it. This compact slightly Indica-dominant autoflowering strain displays a royal purple color that blows us away every time. Its spicy, woody, and peppery aroma comes from a complex potpourri of terpenes that contribute to giving this Indica strain more of a balanced hybrid high.

5. Banana Purple Punch Auto

 

We mentioned that our autoflowers typically mature in 8 to 10 weeks, but Banana Purple Punch Auto is anything but typical. It's quite rare to encounter a seed from this strain that takes more than eight weeks, and we've even seen a few talented growers chop this plant down in the seventh week. Banana Purple Punch Auto is perfect for beginners who want to learn quickly and experienced growers who want to push a strain to its limit. The plant's short height also makes it ideal for stealth/indoor cultivators.

6. In Conclusion

If you are looking for a quick grow cycle without affecting the quality and quantity of the harvest, look no further! These are the fastest strains that take no more than 9 weeks, allowing you to grow top-quality buds in less than 65 days! Also, don't forget that growing some longer-cycle autoflowers in smaller pots is another way to end up with plants that finish faster. The results might be not as generous but quite enough to get a good idea of how a strain smokes and tastes. So, feel free to experiment with other Fast Buds autoflowers as well.
