How to grow Fast Bud #2 Auto
Taste
Seb's take
A third-generation refinement of Fast Bud Auto, proving that autoflowers no longer need apologise for themselves. Sour, pungent citrus on the nose from buds that will gum up your scissors; the high is relaxed, sleepy, and hungry, arriving inside seven and a half weeks. Efficient, and unbothered about it.
Where it comes from
A third-generation refinement of Sweet Seeds' Fast Bud Auto, the same line, worked and re-worked until the autoflower stopped needing to apologise for itself. Where early autos leaned on Ruderalis and lost potency for it, this one keeps the speed and claws back the strength. The parentage is its own family, three generations deep, and the consistency shows in the flower. A cash crop bred to move quickly and pay well.
Nose & flavour
Sour, pungent citrus leads the nose, sharp and unmistakable, from buds heavy enough with resin to gum up your scissors. There is nothing subtle about it: the pungency arrives before the citrus and stays after. A loud, resinous character that reads far older than the seven-and-a-half-week turnaround behind it.
The high
Relaxed, sleepy, and hungry, a settled, body-first finish that arrives without much warning. At 17 percent THC with 0.8 percent CBD it is measured rather than overwhelming, an evening plant that closes the day quietly. Efficient about that, too; the effect keeps to the same soldier's schedule as the grow, and neither wastes your time.
Growing it
An autoflower on a soldier's schedule, a full run in around 53 days, or seven and a half weeks from germination. She stays compact, 40 to 90cm, and gives back a solid 450 to 500 g/m² indoors, 20 to 70 grams per plant outside. Undemanding of nutrients and quick to finish, she suits a grower who values turnaround. Clean tools at harvest; the resin will otherwise make the point for you.
