Fast Version

Our Fast Version seeds are expertly bred to grow with shorter flowering times than other genetics. They are ideal for growers seeking quick harvests in 6 to 7 weeks without sacrificing quality and potency.

What are Fast Version Seeds and How Do They Work?

Fast Version seeds are from cannabis plants that are specifically bred to flower quicker than others. 

Inheriting the traits of photoperiods, these strains have been selectively bred to integrate autoflower genetics, resulting in quicker harvests without sacrificing potency and flavour. 

Like other cannabis plants, these Fast Version strains require an 18/6 light cycle during the vegetative stage and a 12/12 light cycle during flowering. 

How are Fast Version seeds made? 

Producing Fast Version seeds requires careful breeding to create quick-flowering and stable plants. 

This process combines photoperiod plants with fast-flowering autoflowering genetics, blending the best features of each type. 

Breeders start by choosing top photoperiod clones known for strength, yield, and quality, then cross them with the quickest autoflowering strains known for their short growth cycles. 

The first-generation (F1) hybrids inherit rapid flowering traits while still needing a light cycle change to bloom. 

As a result, these seeds produce sturdy plants with faster flowering times compared to regular photoperiods.

What are the Key Benefits of Using Fast Version Seeds? 

Now you’ve chosen to grow Fast Version strains, there are some advantages you’ll have over the grower cultivating just autoflowers or photoperiods. These perks include: 

• Faster flowering times: Fast Version strains flower in a shorter time  (2-3 weeks less) than regular photoperiod seeds, making them ideal for growers who want faster harvests. A shorter flowering cycle makes them ideal for regions with shorter growing seasons.
• Higher yields than autoflowers: They typically offer higher yields than autoflowering seeds.
• Flexibility: They retain the ability to be controlled by light cycles, giving growers more control over the growing process.
• Resistance to pests and diseases: Although the resistance profile of a cannabis plant depends on the strain, Fast Version strains are usually resilient, making them easier to care for.

What’s the Difference Between Fast Version and Autoflowering Seeds? 

While both Fast Version and autoflowering seeds are bred for quicker harvests, Fast Version still relies on light cycles (12/12 for flowering), whereas autoflowering seeds flower based on age, regardless of the light cycle.

Meanwhile, autoflowers tend to grow for around a month and then move to the flowering stage. 

In three months after germination, autoflowers are ready for harvest. Growing autos allows you 3-4 harvests a year.

Another difference between these two types of cannabis plants is their appearance. Most autoflowering strains are much smaller, making them ideal for those with limited grow spaces or prioritise discretion. 

However, Fast Version plants tend to produce higher yields than autoflowering strains.

How Long Do Fast Version Seeds Take to Flower? 

Fast Version seeds typically take from 6 to 7 weeks to flower, which is 1-3 weeks shorter than traditional photoperiod strains. Of course, this varies depending on the specific strain and growing conditions.

Still, the quick flowering time is the primary advantage of growing Fast Version plants. They will be ready for harvest 6 to 7 weeks after the light cycle is switched to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. 

Which Seed Type Grows Faster, Fast Version, or Autoflower?

Autoflowers grow and flower faster overall, as they begin flowering within 2-4 weeks of germination, regardless of light conditions. 

However, Fast Version seeds flower faster than regular photoperiod strains but still depend on light cycles to transition into flowering.

Are Fast Version Seeds Suitable for Both Indoor and Outdoor Growing?

Yes, Fast Version seeds are suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. 

Their quick flowering time makes them ideal for outdoor growers in regions with shorter growing seasons as you can harvest before the frost comes. 

What Strains are Available as Fast Version Seeds?

Some popular strains available in Fast Version include Big Bud Fast Version Strain from Aussie Hemp Seeds—the leading online store for all things seedy in Australia. 

The Big Bud is a feminised, Indica-Dominant hybrid with a THC level of up to 22%, delivering earthy, spicy, and fruity flavours. It offers relaxing and tranquil high effects, thanks to its Indica-dominant genetics.

Our Big Bud Fast Version Strain is available with 10 seeds (1X ten packs) for each strain costing $100. You also get free shipping on your order.  

What Yields Can I Expect From Fast Version Seeds?

Yields from Fast Version seeds depend on the strain and growing conditions, but they generally offer higher yields compared to autoflowers, while still being faster to harvest than regular photoperiod strains.

For example, the Big Bud Fast Version Strain from Aussie Hemp Seeds will produce  500-600 g per m² when grown indoors. This is a substantial yield even in limited space. When cultivated outdoors, you can expect 600-800 g per plant. 

The yield you eventually get from a cannabis plant, Fast Version or not, also depends on how well you cultivate it. 

In the flowering stage, plants need a balanced diet rich in phosphorus and potassium to support strong bud growth and resin production. Watering should be moderate to avoid root rot and related problems.

Good airflow is also important to keep mould away and maintain plant health, while moderate humidity levels create the perfect conditions for Fast Version plants to thrive.

Are Fast Version Seeds Potent Compared to Regular Strains?

Fast Version seeds will inherit the potency of the parent photoperiod strains. They are bred to retain high THC levels and deliver the same powerful effects, even with a faster flowering time.

A good way to tell about the potency of a weed plant before consuming it is to look at its cannabinoid composition and genetics. 

When selecting Fast Version strains, make sure to choose from seed banks that have already stabilised the genetics before selling them. This ensures that you only grow quality seeds and avoid issues during growth.

Where Can I Buy Fast Version Seeds? 

Few seed banks produce Fast Version seeds, and they are relatively more difficult to come by.
