Fast flowering cannabis seeds

Fastest growing cannabis seeds

Fast growing cannabis strains are specially selected strains noted for their consistently rapid growth and bloom, allowing you to complete your grow faster and fill the jars more quickly. The fastest growing cannabis strains tend to have short bloom cycles. Often, but not always, indica (or indica dominant) cannabis strains offer the fastest bloom time.

In contrast to fast growing and fast flowering cannabis seeds there are plenty of good strains which require a much longer grow cycle. Some longer blooming photoperiod sativa/Haze cannabis strains can take 15+ weeks of bloom to fully ripen. Some XXL yielding auto strains can take 13+ weeks to grow from autoflower seed to harvest.

Not all growers have the time/patience for such long grow cycles - which can add significantly to grow room electricity costs. That’s why so many growers prefer reliable, fast flowering strains cultivated from fast growing cannabis seeds.

Note also that many fast growing seeds are also well suited to outdoor cannabis growing, the fast grow cycle means that these strains will often finish earlier than your typical outdoor strains. For those growers with unpredictable late-season climates this can be the difference between a successful harvest and one which is threatened with mold/bud rot.

Fast flowering photoperiod cannabis strains

Fast flowering photoperiod feminised cannabis seeds require a period of 12/12 light (12 hours of daily light followed by 12 hours of darkness) to bloom when grown indoors.

With high energy prices looking set to stay, more growers than ever are looking at fast germinating seeds and fast growing seeds.

Combine strong growth vigour with a fast flowering strain and you have a growth cycle which could mean your jars are full several weeks earlier than normal. Photoperiod feminised strains typically require around 10 weeks in bloom. But buy the fastest photoperiod feminised cannabis seeds and you may be able to harvest after just 7-8 weeks of bloom.

Fast flowering autoflower cannabis strains

Fast flowering autoflowering cannabis seeds are famously easy and uncomplicated to grow. They grow indoors under a fixed light cycle, typically requiring 20 hours of daily light followed by a 4-hour period of darkness.

Most auto strains grow from autoflower seed to harvest in around 75 days. However, some carefully bred autos can complete this cycle in as little as ~8 weeks, phenotype dependent.

When autoflower seeds are grown outdoors they may take a couple of weeks longer (as may photoperiod feminised cannabis strains). This is due to the fact that indoor growth conditions tend to be more stable/optimised/predictable than outdoor grow conditions.

Why choose cannabis fast version seeds?

With electricity prices at (or near) all-time highs, many indoor growers are now favouring the fastest cannabis strains which can complete their growth cycle in the shortest time period. This minimises energy costs. ‘Fast version’ photoperiod cannabis seeds grow with the same characteristics and cannabis light cycle as traditional photoperiod feminised seeds.

However, the deliberate introduction of recessive autoflower genetics allow fast version photoperiod strains to complete their growth cycle a week or two earlier than most typical feminised strains. Think Fast is Dutch Passion’s fast version photoperiod strain. She is ready to harvest after 7-8 weeks of bloom and is noted for heavy blooms and relentless THC production.

Many outdoor cannabis growers find that photoperiod fast version strains such as Think fast actually deliver faster & heavier outdoor yields than many of their trusted traditional outdoor cannabis seeds. If you’re an outdoor cannabis grower looking for a faster-finishing outdoor strain, then Think Fast comes with our highest recommendations!

Are fast flowering cannabis seeds easy to grow?

If you’re looking at growing cannabis fast, it pays to do some research into the most suitable strains. Fast growing cannabis seeds are available in auto, feminised or fast versions (photoperiod but with recessive auto genetics which speed up growth).

The fastest cannabis seeds should be proven, fast germinating cannabis seeds which also deliver fast growth and fast flowering. Not only will you be able to harvest your crop earlier than normal, you may also be able to make valuable cost savings thanks to reduced energy costs!
