Vesta Autoflowering Seeds by Buddha Seeds – Fast-Flowering, Resinous & Easy to Grow

Vesta by Buddha Seeds is a fast-flowering, resin-packed autoflowering strain built for growers who want big flavor and high potency without the wait. With a complete cycle in just 75 days, this robust plant delivers dense, aromatic buds rich in terpenes—ideal for connoisseurs and everyday vapers alike.

Are you tired of waiting months just to harvest a few average buds?

Most autoflowering strains promise speed but deliver bland flavor, weak effects, or spindly yields. You end up wasting time, space, and energy on plants that don’t live up to the hype. And when you’re growing for taste or resin, compromise isn’t an option.

What if your next grow could be fast, flavorful, and full of fire—without the fuss?

Imagine harvesting in 11 weeks, not 16. Picture sticky, citrus-scented colas that glisten with resin and ignite your senses. No complicated training, no climate anxiety—just a plant that thrives whether you're on a balcony or under LEDs.

Vesta delivers gourmet results on a grower’s timeline

Vesta by Buddha Seeds is the answer: a fast, resilient, and highly aromatic autoflowering strain bred for flavor chasers and efficiency experts. With genetics rooted in European and American lines, it grows strong, resists mold, and finishes fast—producing up to 450 g/m² indoors or 100 g/plant outdoors. Its grapefruit-mandarin terpene profile dances on the nose, while the effect melts stress with a relaxing, pleasurable punch.

Before growing Vesta

Setting up for Vesta means planning for speed and simplicity. Since it’s an autoflowering strain, you won’t need to adjust light cycles—just keep it lit and let it rip. But smart prep makes all the difference.

• Choose a final pot of 10–15 L (2.64–3.96 gal) to avoid transplant stress
• Use well-aerated soil or coco from autoflowering-specific substrates
• Set up 18–20 hours of daily light, even during flowering
• Keep temperatures between 20–28 °C (68–82 °F) for optimal growth
• Start with low-dose nutrients designed for feminized and autoflowering genetics

During cultivation: watch it thrive

Vesta grows fast and branches heavily, forming a strong central cola and multiple side buds. It’s forgiving, but attention to airflow and watering pays off. Indoors, use Low Stress Training (LST) to open up the canopy. Outdoors, it laughs off mild temperature swings and resists mold thanks to its hardy genetics.

Feed it progressively—start light, ramp up in mid-flower—and avoid overwatering. The plant tells you when it’s thirsty: wait until the top layer of soil dries out. As flowering kicks in, the citrus aroma intensifies, filling your space with zesty, grapefruit-tinged freshness.

After harvest: sticky results and simple upkeep

After 75 days from seed, you’ll be trimming dense, resin-coated buds with a bright citrus punch. Dry slowly at 18–21 °C (64–70 °F) and 50–60% RH for maximum terpene retention. Once cured, the flavor shines: tangy mandarin meets sweet grapefruit, with a smooth, relaxing high that unwinds the mind and soothes the body.

Clean your tools and sterilize your containers—Vesta’s resin sticks, so maintenance matters. But the plant itself leaves no mess behind: no nutrient burn, no stretch disasters, just clean, consistent performance.

Safe start

Begin strong with healthy germination and early root support.

• Germinate seeds at 22–25 °C (71–77 °F) with high humidity
• Transplant when the taproot is ~1 cm (0.4 in) long
• Use a light, airy starter mix to prevent damping off
• Boost root development with Root It 150ml for faster establishment

Directed growth

Keep growth steady and structure tight for better light penetration.

• Provide 18–20 hours of light daily using efficient LEDs
• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 in) of soil is dry
• Use Top Max BioBizz in early flower to enhance resin and aroma
• Apply mild nutrients—avoid overfeeding from the start
• Use LST to spread branches and expose bud sites

Flowering by stages

Maximize bud density and terpene production in the final stretch.

• Monitor trichomes: harvest when milky with slight amber for balanced effect
• Lower humidity to 40–50% to prevent mold in dense buds
• Use GreenFuse Bloom to boost flowering and resin
• Stop nutrients 7–10 days before harvest for smoother smoke

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Vesta in my balcony setup last summer—12 L pots, full-spectrum LEDs, 18/6 light cycle. From seed to harvest: 74 days. I didn’t top it, just used gentle LST to open the canopy. By week 6, the citrus smell was unmistakable—like peeling a mandarin under a heat lamp. I fed it light doses of BioBizz nutrients and added Top Max from week 4. The buds came in dense, rock-hard, and dripping with resin. After a 12-day dry and 3-week cure, the flavor was unreal: zesty, sweet, and smooth. The high? Deeply relaxing, perfect after work. I’ve tried fancier strains, but Vesta delivers where it counts—consistency, flavor, and ease. I’ll definitely grow it again.
