What are fast flowering cannabis seeds?
Fast flowering cannabis seeds, also known as Fast Version or Early strains, are feminized varieties created by crossing photoperiod genetics with autoflowering plants. This breeding reduces the flowering cycle by 1–2 weeks compared to standard feminized seeds. They are the perfect solution for growers who want to harvest earlier without sacrificing potency, flavour, or yield.
Main uses and advantages
These seeds are especially popular for outdoor growing in regions with short summers or humid climates, where late-season rain can threaten the harvest. With them, you can harvest earlier and reduce the risk of mould or pests. Indoors, fast strains are also attractive, as they allow more cannabis harvests per year and better use of time and space.
Who are they ideal for?
- Beginners: easy to grow and less risk of losing the crop.
- Experienced growers: ideal for running multiple harvests of marijuana in one season.
- Discreet growers: plants finish earlier, avoiding unwanted attention.
