The Grow Awards 2026 was an incredible moment for Fast Buds and for the amazing community of growers who choose our genetics. This year we were honored with several major awards that highlight the hard work of our breeding team and the passion of growers around the world.

Fast Buds: The Best Autoflower Breeder

One of the proudest moments is being named Best Autoflower Breeder once again, marking several years in a row at the very top of the category. This recognition means a lot to us because it reflects years of work focused on creating stable, high-performing genetics that growers can rely on. From careful breeding to constant refinement, our goal has always been to keep improving what autoflowers can achieve, and this award shows that the community sees and appreciates that effort.

Gorilla Cookies Auto Named Best Autoflowering Strain

Another huge highlight came from one of our most beloved strains. Gorilla Cookies Auto was awarded 1st Place for Best Autoflowering Strain, confirming its reputation as one of the strongest autos on the market. Known for its powerful effects, incredible resin production, and outstanding yields, Gorilla Cookies Auto has become a favorite among growers worldwide. 

Chubbs Wins the Best Grower Title

Another victory for our team at the Grow Awards 2026 is that our champion grower Chubbs was voted Best Grower, recognizing the skill, passion, and dedication he brings to every single grow project. Anyone familiar with his work knows how much attention he gives to detail, always pushing our genetics to their full potential. Seeing him receive this title is a special moment not only for him but for the entire Fast Buds community.

More Awards for Fast Buds Genetics

Beyond these major titles, Fast Buds strains continued to shine across multiple categories. In the Best Strain category, Banana Purple Punch Auto secured 2nd Place, while Gorilla Cookies Auto added another podium finish with 3rd Place. Our genetics also performed exceptionally well in grow diaries shared by the community. A diary featuring Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3 took 1st Place in the Best Autoflower Diary category, showcasing the stunning colors and performance of this new generation strain.

In the Best Indoor Diary category, Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3 earned 2nd Place, while Biscotti Gelato secured 3rd Place.

These achievements belong not only to us but to the entire Fast Buds community, to everyone who grows, votes and shares their cultivation journeys. Every trophy is a reminder of how strong this community truly is. Thank you for your support!

Award Winning Grow Diaries Featuring Our Strains

What made this year's awards even more exciting was seeing growers using our strains win recognition for their amazing grows. In the Best Autoflower Diary category, a grow featuring Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3 took 1st Place, showing off the stunning colors and incredible performance from the new generation.

Our genetics also appeared in the Best Indoor Diary category, where Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3 took 2nd Place and Biscotti Gelato earned 3rd Place. Watching growers achieve these results with our strains is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

For us, these awards represent the entire Fast Buds community. From our breeders to our team members to the growers who share their diaries and experiences, everyone plays a part in pushing autoflowers to the next level.

We want to thank everyone who voted, grew our genetics, and continues to support what we do. Moments like this motivate us to keep breeding, improving, and bringing even better autoflower strains to growmies everywhere.

The future of autoflowers is looking brighter than ever, and we are proud to be growing it together.
