Fast Version marijuana has gained a foothold in the cannabis seed market over the last decade, and this type of plant is very interesting because it has some advantages over normal genetics. In this article we are going to see what Fast Version seeds are like, how they are grown, which are the best and the fastest, so that you have the maximum information about it and can correctly choose the ones you want to grow.

🚀 F1 Fast Version, Why are they called that?

 

The term “F1 Fast Version” was coined by the Sweet Seeds seed bank, which can also be considered as the inventors of this format of marijuana varieties, because they were the first to start marketing this type of seeds. The concept “F1” has a double meaning, since on the one hand it means “Filial 1” because they are seeds produced from the cross between a photodependent plant and its autoflowering version, that is, the first generation of this combination. On the other hand “F1” also means formula 1, and is related to the speed of Fast Version seeds.

“Fast Version” means fast version, because in reality these plants are replicas very similar to their normal version but with a shorter flowering period. Crossing a photoperiod genetics with its autoflowering version increases the hybrid vigor and resistance of the variety and accelerates the pre-flowering phase, fattening and maturation of the buds, something that can be very interesting for many growers. Other seed banks also offer similar varieties with other concepts, such as the Early Version from Delicious Seeds, or the Quick from Dinafem.

✨ How to grow Fast Version seeds?

They are grown much the same as normal strains, but it is important to take into account the speed of flowering in order to get the best out of it. In indoor cultivation it is advisable to give a little more time for vegetative growth, because due to its shorter pre-flowering period it is possible that the stretching that the plants give in this phase is also less. When making the final transplant, it is also necessary to consider bringing it forward for the same reason, because if we wait until the photoperiod changes, there is the possibility that they will grow less as well.

The most important change with respect to the normal flowering genetics is in the final maturation of the plants, since in the Fast Version seeds it arrives one, two, or three weeks earlier than in the normal versions. For this reason, it is necessary to be attentive and check the trichomes of the buds during the fattening phase to determine the best time to wash the roots prior to harvest, since it is crucial to achieve the best aroma and flavor of the yerba.

Otherwise they are grown exactly the same as normal flowering varieties, in fact Fast Version seeds are easier to grow in general due to their higher hybrid vigour, because they are more resistant to stress, pests and diseases, and the fact that they that they can be harvested earlier avoids certain problems in outdoor cultivation, such as the rains that usually fall at the beginning of autumn in many places. This means that Fast Version marijuana strains are more suitable for inexperienced growers, especially Fast Version indicas.
