Whereas some cannabis growers don’t mind waiting months to harvest their plants, others prefer to reap the fruits of their labor much faster. Thankfully, many of our cannabis varieties burst from seedlings into mature specimens in a matter of weeks. Fast-growing strains offer a host of benefits; they’re ready before the first frosts outdoors, enable multiple harvests in the same season, help cultivators stay stealthy, and are simply convenient. Whether you’re a small-scale hobbyist growing for personal use or a commercial cultivator in need of a quick turnover, it makes total sense to opt for cultivars that charge through the growing cycle as quickly as possible.

Choosing the fastest strains doesn’t mean narrowing down your options to otherwise lacklustre varieties. On the contrary, fast-growing varieties span across all of our categories, and are available as feminized photoperiod, autoflowering, high-CBD, and F1 hybrid seeds. Check out the very best fast-growing strains from our catalog below.

F1 Hybrid Cannabis Seeds

F1 hybrid cannabis varieties are available in different forms, including feminized, autoflowering, and high-CBD varieties. They differ from traditional genetics because they are created using pure inbred parent lines. This breeding technique produces true F1 hybrids that boast excellent uniformity, faster growth, larger yields, increased cannabinoid and terpene production, and unparalleled disease resistance. Owing to their stability, these varieties offer an easier alternative to cloning for both commercial and home growers.

  • Epsilon F1 Hybrid

Not only does Epsilon F1 rank as one of our fastest-growing autoflowering varieties, but she matures faster than the rest of our entire F1 hybrid range. If you want unparalleled quality and serious rapidity, then look no further. Our skilled breeders created this variety by crossing two pure parent lines, resulting in a vigorous F1 hybrid with impressive disease resistance and uniformity. You won’t have to deal with any phenos that don’t meet your tastes; they’ll all appear identical.

Epsilon F1’s high THC content and aromatic components merge to create a long-lasting and physically relaxing high. Upon hitting a bong bowl or blunt, you’ll experience a complex yet complementary flavor profile of blueberries and lavender light up your taste buds.

Epsilon F1 maintains a compact size throughout the entire growing cycle, making her suitable for growers who value stealth above all else. Prepare to harvest her frosty flowers in as little as 60 days after popping the seeds.

We get it—you don’t want to mess around with complex training methods, intensive soil management techniques, and companion planting.

Orion F1’s compact indica morphology means she’ll happily grow in small and hidden spaces; she reaches a maximum height of only 31.2 inches. Get ready to harvest plenty of resinous buds from this autoflowering cultivar in as little as 70 days following germination!

  • Titan F1 Hybrid

Bushy, compact, fast, and loaded with trichomes. What else could you possibly want from an autoflowering variety? Whether you live in a region of cannabis prohibition or simply want to get your hands on some fresh buds as quickly as possible, Titan F1 offers an efficient shortcut. Soak the seeds in a glass of water, or simply sow them directly into your final growing medium, and they’ll surge into mature plants ready for processing in only 73 days.

As the progeny of two pure parent lines, Titan F1 naturally possesses hybrid vigour that places her above traditional strains when it comes to vitality, disease resistance, and overall performance. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, this variety stands strong in the face of pests and diseases, and features a bushy and compact frame.

Autoflowering

Autoflowering seeds can be both sativa and indica. However, they have been crossed with a type of cannabis called ruderalis. This enables them to flower on their own in as little as 2-4 weeks without exposing them to strict 12 hour light regimes.

Some of our most popular strains in this category include:

  • Quick One

This reliable little auto remains one of the most popular varieties in our catalog, and one of the fastest autos around; she’s provided thousands of growers with untold amounts of bud after a total life cycle of just 9 weeks.

As the progeny of Lowryder 1 and Old School Indica, Quick One manages to produce sizeable yields without drawing much attention to itself. At a height of 1.6 – 3.3 feet, you can grow this cultivar anywhere, from your back garden to a spare kitchen cupboard.

Quick One boasts visually stunning buds exhibiting hues of dark green with splatters of purple, yellow, and orange. After harvesting and curing the buds, you’ll enjoy a blissful and stoning high accompanied by tastes of citrus and earthiness for weeks to come.

  • Easy Bud

Easy Bud received her name for good reason. As well as being one of the easiest cannabis strains to grow, she also boasts one of the fastest growing cycles. Her speedy and robust nature makes her ideal for those seeking a fast turnover, and those ready to take their first step into the world of growing weed.

As the progeny of White Indica and ruderalis, Easy Bud produces frosty flowers featuring a THC content of 12% alongside citrusy and earthy terpenes. These buds won’t blast you to the moon, but they will offer a soothing and subtle effect perfect for any time of day.

After germinating these seeds, Easy Bud will explode into a mature plant in as little as eight weeks. Prepare to harvest up to 11.5 oz/m² from indoor plants, and between 1.1 – 2.8 oz from outdoor specimens.

Feminized Fast Growing Strains

Feminized cannabis seeds are designed to produce only female plants. Feminized seeds will produce a female plant 99.99% of the time. Don’t waste your time trying to produce flower from a male plant - they will only pollinate you females, resulting in seeds rather than bud.

Fast Flowering strains are hybrids of these and autoflowering strains. They are genetically coded to produce flowers quickly with little care, but still rely on a change in photoperiod to flower.

Some of our most popular selections in this category include:

  • Candy Kush Express

As well as offering a rapid flowering time, Candy Kush Express is a rich source of terpenes, emanating notes of sugary sweet citrus. Her speed of growth and incredible taste make her a great strain for cannabis chefs who want a crop that yields well on a regular basis. This strain features a close balance of 60% indica genetics and 40% sativa, which exerts an effect that relieves tension from the body while keeping the mind alert and functional.

Candy Kush Express is a speedy photoperiod variety that features a flowering time of only 7–9 weeks. Plants grown indoors under good-quality lights will yield up to 18.5 oz/m². Those grown outdoors are capable of yielding between 450–17.6 oz/plant.

  • Royal Cheese

This plant of British origin draws its heritage from the top-rated skunk developed on the isle. Since then, the Cheese genetic has spread globally and even won a Cannabis Cup. The plant will grow to about 1.5 meters indoors. It is highly odiferous, however. So much so that a carbon filter is definitely required. Royal Cheese can be harvested after 6-8 weeks and yields up to 19.4 oz per square meter. The smoke from the cured bud is strong and aromatic. However, it is the strength of the strain that keeps coming back.

CBD Strains

  • Royal CBDV Automatic

This exciting variety offers high levels of cannabidivarin, or CBDV. This rare cannabinoid activates some of the same pathways as CBD, and produces unique effects of its own. Thanks to our expert team of breeders, we’ve created one of only a few strains to produce high levels of this cannabinoid.

Royal CBDV Automatic also contains 5% CBD and a negligible THC quantity of 0.3%. Overall, she relaxes the mind and soothes the body, without any intoxicating effects. Enjoy these earthy, pine-scented flowers all day long for a clear-headed and motivating effect.

Indoor plants grow to a maximum height of 31.2 inches and produce up to 15.9 oz/m². Outdoors, expect to harvest up to 5.3 oz 8–9 weeks after germination.

Tatanka Pure CBD churns out dense, dark green buds that possess high levels of cannabidiol and negligible levels of THC (never exceeding 0.25%). These flowers encourage a clear-headed and lucid state without inducing psychoactive side effects or compromising productivity.

Our breeders created this cultivar by crossing Elixir Vitae with Medical CBD. After a few generations of stabilising her genetics and tweaking her traits, she emerged as a reliable strain suitable for smoking at any time of day. Her flavors of sweetness and spice tantalise the taste buds with every hit.

When it comes to efficiency, Tatanka Pure CBD scores top marks. Indoor plants produce up to 15.9 oz/m² after a brief flowering time of 6–8 weeks, without exceeding 39 inches in height. Outdoor plants, grown in containers or garden beds, reach a taller height of 62.4 inches and produce approximately 15 oz.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
