Everybody starts somewhere, but it's hard to know where to start when growing cannabis. There are so many options: what light? What medium? What nutrients? What humidity? We'll be answering all of these questions shortly, but today, we'll focus on strain, specifically, "What's the best strain for new growers?"
Autoflowering cannabis is the perfect variety for new growers, but Fast Buds has over 20 strains to choose from. While you no doubt have a strain preference for flowers, extracts, edibles, and topicals, selecting a strain for cultivation is an entirely different issue. Some require a green thumb, while others seem to take care of themselves. Below you'll find the five easiest autoflower strains for beginners.
1. Lemon Cherry Cookies
One of Fast Buds' latest Autoflowers, Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto is one our fastest strains, finishing in around 8 weeks from seed to harvest. It's also one of the most resilient strains in our catalog, making it perfect to grow in a variety of conditions.
This squat and fast-flowering strain is ideal for small gardens and apartment balconies. New growers are bound to make a few mistakes here and there, and Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto nobly suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous newbie grow mistakes while still producing beautiful hybrid flowers with a THC content of up to 28.5%.
2. Sour jealousy Auto
Fast Buds' Sour Jealousy Auto combines two top-shelf genetics into an autoflowering giant. Easily our largest autoflowering strain, Sour Jealousy Auto’s bulk makes it ideal for outdoor growing. If you grow indoors, make sure you have a large enough tent to accommodate this hybrid's 1.5-meter reach.
It’s extremely easiness to grow and large frame produces large yields, and it's this combination that makes Sour Jealousy Auto ideal for beginners. Even if you make a few mistakes and stress out this sour wonder, the resulting slower-growth will still produce a sizeable yield of buds.
3. Apple Strudel Auto
Who doesn't love colorful weed? Apple Strudel Auto’s amazing coloring, mouth-watering terpenes and tendency to grow fast make it the perfect centerpiece for anyone's first time.
Finishing in as little as 9 - 10 weeks, this autoflowering version of the popular Apple Strudel variety handles a wide variety of environments while still producing large numbers of bud sites and flowers. This strain also boasts purple and orange hues that appear from time to time, and produces extremely potent harvests with up to 29% THC!
4. Guava Auto
After planting, Guava Auto explodes out of the ground and doesn't stop. Fast doesn't do this genetic wunderkind justice. Typically finishing in eight to nine weeks, experienced growers can potentially be rewarded with up to 500gr/m2 in as little as 8 weeks!
Guava Auto’s fast life cycle allows new growers to learn from their mistakes quickly. It's the perfect strain for learners who want to find, correct, and learn from their errors as a quickly as possible. If cannabis growing is a competition (and it is for many), Guava Auto is the ultimate training drill; fail fast, learn fast, grow fast.
5. Papaya Cookies Auto
Papaya Cookies Auto offers just a unique terpene profile not found in other strains on this list. With very little maintenance, this autoflower delivers top-shelf harvests in as little as 8 - 9 weeks. With up to 29% THC and harvests reaching 550gr/m2, you definitely cannot go wrong with our Papaya Cookies Auto.
Even if you have no idea what you're doing, Papaya Cookies Auto buds always seem to have that magical potency that's made this strain a run-away hit in California. It's a high-THC strain with up to 29% THC and less than 1% CBD, making it a giggly, energetic, and clear-headed strain that almost anyone can enjoy. It's the pizza of autoflowering strains, even when it's not at its best, it's still really good.
