Fast Buds Seeds

About Fast Buds

The Fast Buds story starts in California around 2010. A group of founders obsessed with autoflowering genetics – at a time when most of the cannabis community wasn’t paying them much attention – began experimenting in their garage and then made a move that shaped the company: they relocated to Barcelona, where the climate, the cannabis culture and the infrastructure made it easier to breed and scale properly.

By 2012 they had their website up and five autoflowering strains ready – Crystal Meth, G14, Mexican Airlines, Northern Express and C4matic. It was a tough market to enter. Dutch and Spanish seedbanks had decades of reputation behind them. But Fast Buds had something different to offer: autoflowering versions of the American genetics that were starting to generate serious noise on the West Coast. At a time when Girl Scout Cookies, Gorilla Glue and similar strains were largely available only as clones in California dispensaries, Fast Buds started developing auto versions that European growers could actually access.

It worked. Gorilla Glue Auto in 2016 became one of the best-selling autoflowers ever produced. The 2019 Autoflower Cup in Oregon went to their Blackberry Auto. They’ve accumulated over 20 competition awards internationally – including wins at the Highlife Cup, the Copa Secreta in Chile, and recognition as Best Seedbank at multiple events. The team is now genuinely multinational, with breeders from the USA, UK, Spain, France, Germany, Russia and beyond all contributing to the catalogue.

What’s in the Fast Buds Range?

American Autoflowers

This is what Fast Buds built their name on – autoflowering versions of the US genetics that growers wanted but couldn’t easily get outside of California. Gorilla Cookies Auto (a Gorilla Glue x Girl Scout Cookies cross), Wedding Cheesecake Auto, Zkittlez Auto and Banana Purple Punch Auto all sit in this category. Big flavours, high potency, fast finish. These are strains that brought West Coast genetics into a format any grower can run.

Classic Auto Range

Alongside the US-inspired lines, Fast Buds carries autoflowering versions of proven classics. OG Kush Auto, Amnesia Haze Auto and CBD Auto 20:1 give growers access to well-documented genetics in a fast, compact format. Good options if you want a familiar genetic profile without the photoperiod complexity.

High-Potency Autos

Fast Buds have pushed hard into high-THC autoflower territory. Strains like Crystal Meth Auto and Gorilla Cookies Auto are bred specifically for potency and resin production. If maximum THC in an auto format is what you’re after, this section of the catalogue is where to look.

CBD Autoflowers

Fast Buds has a smaller but well-considered CBD range, including CBD Auto 20:1 – a strain with a 20:1 CBD to THC ratio designed for growers interested in non-intoxicating profiles. The breeding quality and auto format are the same as the rest of the catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Fast Buds based?

Fast Buds are based in Barcelona, Spain. They started out in California around 2010 but relocated to Barcelona early on, where they built their breeding and production operation. The team is now multinational, with breeders from the USA, UK, Spain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries all contributing to the catalogue.

Are Fast Buds only autoflowering?

Yes – Fast Buds specialise exclusively in autoflowering genetics. That focus is deliberate. Their entire research and development effort goes into advancing what autoflowers can do in terms of potency, flavour, yield and speed.

It’s a narrower focus than most seedbanks, but it’s produced a catalogue that’s genuinely hard to match in the autoflower category.

What are Fast Buds’ best-known strains?

Gorilla Glue Auto is probably their most famous – it became one of the best-selling autoflowers ever produced after its 2016 release. Gorilla Cookies Auto, Zkittlez Auto, Wedding Cheesecake Auto and Blackberry Auto (winner of the 2019 Autoflower Cup in Oregon) are all consistent performers. OG Kush Auto and Amnesia Haze Auto are popular for growers who want more familiar genetics in auto format.

Are Fast Buds seeds good for beginners?

The autoflowering format makes them more accessible than photoperiod seeds in some ways – there’s no light cycle to manage, they finish fast, and they tend to be compact. That said, some of the high-potency lines like Gorilla Cookies Auto and Crystal Meth Auto are better suited to experienced growers. If you’re newer to autoflowers, OG Kush Auto or Amnesia Haze Auto are good starting points.

How many awards has Fast Buds won?

Over 20 international competition awards since 2016, including 1st place at the Autoflower Cup in Oregon (Blackberry Auto, 2019), multiple wins at the Copa Secreta in Chile, and recognition as Best Seedbank at the India/Sativa Trade Show. For a seedbank that’s been going since 2010 and focuses purely on autos, that’s a genuinely impressive competition record.

What makes Fast Buds different from other autoflowering seedbanks?

Two things mainly. First, they were early to bring genuine US genetics into autoflower format – Gorilla Glue, Girl Scout Cookies, Zkittlez – at a time when most seedbanks weren’t doing it seriously. Second, they’ve stayed exclusively focused on autoflowers throughout, which means more breeding generations, more refinement and more accumulated knowledge than a seedbank that splits its effort across photoperiod and auto lines. The results speak for themselves.

The autoflower specialists. Over a decade of pure auto genetics, 20+ competition wins, and a catalogue built on some of the most sought-after US strains around. Shop Fast Buds at SeedMasters.com and get free seeds with every order.
