Fast Buds

Fast Buds – pioneers of modern autoflowering giants

Fast Buds 420 is a legend among autoflower seed banks. Two friends started in 2012 in a small lab in Barcelona with a mission to bring the power and flavor of American classics into an auto format. At the time, autos were considered weak and tasteless, so they decided to cross iconic strains like Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies with strong ruderalis lines, creating hybrids with high THC and intense terpenes. At first they sold hand-labeled seeds to local grow shops, but the breakthrough came at Spannabis 2015, where their products were noticed by an international audience and sparked global expansion

Today, Fast Buds is one of the most recognizable autoflower banks in the world, boasting over 50 awards won between 2019–2025 and hundreds of thousands of satisfied growers. Their icons such as Gorilla Cookies Auto, Purple Lemonade Auto, Cream Cookies Auto, and Bruce Banner Auto combine THC levels exceeding 25% with dense, resinous flowers and a dessert-like aromatic profile. The bank continues to work on new crosses, creating strains with exotic terpene bouquets and short life cycles.

The Fast Buds portfolio includes dozens of autoflowering hybrids with diverse character. Gorilla Cookies Auto is a powerful 60/40 indica/sativa with a dark-cake flavor and up to 28% THC. Purple Lemonade Auto delights with a lavender-lemon aroma and deep purple colors, flowers in 8–9 weeks, and delivers an energetic high. Gelato Auto combines dessert flavor with green-purple buds, while Orange Sherbet Auto offers a refreshing citrus smoke and yields over 150 g per plant. The lineup also includes “Original” lines—classic genetics brought into an autoflower format, such as Original Blueberry Auto and Original Northern Lights Auto—as well as CBD-rich varieties.

Why choose Fast Buds? Their strains are easy to grow, resistant to stress and disease, and ideal for balcony mini-grows. Plants reach 70–120 cm, staying discreet, and the full cycle (from sprout to harvest) takes 9–12 weeks. For maximum performance, use a 20/4 or 18/6 light cycle, well-aerated soil, and pots of at least 11 l. Plants prefer moderate feeding; overly heavy nutrition can lead to nutrient lockout. Low-stress training (LST) and the Sea of Green technique help achieve even yields, and 22–26 °C supports the coloration of purple phenotypes.
