Sometimes you don't want to wait months to get your hands on some cannabis. While some may have the impression that a short growing cycle correlates to a weak and meagre harvest, this couldn't be further from the truth—at least in the case of these 10 autoflowers. Delve into our fastest autoflowers, which give photoperiods a run for their money.

Time is of the essence, especially for growers looking to get the most out of each season. Fast autoflowering strains offer a winning combination of speed, simplicity, and excellent results, making them the perfect choice for new and experienced cultivators.

Unlike photoperiod varieties, these strains bloom automatically under almost any light schedule and require less maintenance overall. And when we say “fast”, we mean it! These strains typically go from seed to harvest in just 8–9 weeks, without sacrificing flavor, potency, or yield. Whether you're aiming for multiple harvests per year or just eager to fill your stash jars quickly, these fast autoflowers are more than up to the task.
