Everybody starts somewhere, but it's hard to know where to start when growing cannabis. There are so many options: what light to choose? what medium? what nutrients? what temperature and humidity? In our blog, we're answering all of these questions, but in this post, we're focusing on the strains, specifically, "What's the best strain for new growers?"
Autoflowering cannabis is the perfect variety for new growers, but Fast Buds has over 70 strains to choose from. While you no doubt have a preference for what your flowers, extracts, edibles, and topicals should be, selecting a strain for cultivation is an entirely different issue. Some plants require a green thumb, while others seem to take care of themselves. Below, you'll find 10 easiest autoflower strains for beginners.
