Fast Flowering Cannabis Strain

The growth speed of a cannabis variety is certainly a very important factor. Speed is vital for both commercial and amateur growers. Anyone who intends to cultivate hemp wants to achieve a good result in the shortest possible time.

For many, the answer is fast-flowering cannabis.

Careful breeding has created a range of fast-flowering varieties that offer all the advantages of photoperiods while flowering in much shorter times. Thanks to the fast-version varieties, faster-growing weed doesn't mean compromising on quality.

THE BENEFITS OF FAST FLOWERING STRAINS

Farmers trying a fast variety for the first time can expect to notice a wide range of benefits:

• Higher yields compared to autoflowers: with a longer vegetative period, fast varieties are able to produce larger and stronger plants with better yields and higher cannabinoid levels.

• Faster finishing time compared to photoperiods: their finely-tuned genetics means they are ready for harvest more quickly than standard photoperiod strains.

• More harvests per season: the time saved from growing fast-flowering seeds instead of photoperiods allows for more growth cycles in the same period of time. For many growers, this opens up the possibility of multiple harvests in a single season.

• Lower indoor growing costs: shorter growth times also mean less time under the lights per harvest. For indoor growers, this can mean significant savings, especially if growing more plants.

• Can be cloned: unlike autoflowers, fast-flowering varieties can be cloned.

• Can be grown in almost any climate: many autoflowers and photoperiods struggle to grow in cold and humid climates. But fast-flowering cannabis seeds produce robust plants that can thrive in almost any indoor and outdoor environment. The ability to harvest earlier also allows growers to avoid the harshest periods of winter.

• Plants are more resistant: many fast-flowering varieties have a natural resistance to mold and fungi. Early flowering times also allow outdoor growers to avoid top rot by harvesting before the rainy season.
