The first question a new autoflower grower asks is whether autoflowers are as potent as their photoperiod counterparts? It's a legitimate concern, as the main trait of autoflowering strains – their ability to start flowering automatically after just a couple of weeks from seeds and finish in another 6-7 weeks – is due to the presence of Ruderalis in them, and Ruderalis isn't exactly known for its potency.
However, rest assured, modern autos have just enough Ruderalis genes to trigger automatic flowering, but the rest of their traits, including the over-the-top potency, are inherited from their photoperiod parents. There are autoflowers whose best-grown samples have crossed the 30%-THC mark, which is more than the heaviest of smokers could ask for.
Let's take a look at Fast Buds' 5 strongest autoflowering strains – those whose delicious sticky resin is supercharged with cannabinoids and terpenes, giving you the most powerful and unforgetable experience you can get from weed.
5. Zkittlez Auto
This autoflower is as fast-growing as the best of them, with the whole seed-to-harvest cycle taking just over two months. You can’t go wrong with this plant, and if you've never tried this smoke before, you are in for a real treat. It has a strong and varied sweet aroma and a 23% THC content to give you hours of pleasure and enjoyment.
While breeding our Zkittlez Auto, we fixed many of the traits that are typically found in Indicas, including potency. Furthermore, this plant has long internodal distances that get completely filled with flowers, which promises huge per-plant productivity.
If you do choose to grow these seeds, then experts suggest giving the plants plenty of water and nutrients to maximize the production of the buds, which will amaze you with their size. This strain also releases a strong yet appealing sweet scent during flowering.
The taste of the smoke is that of fruity candies, and it also gives you a nice relaxing sensation, which is all you need after a hard day of work. Just treat Zkittlez Auto potency with respect and smoke in moderation unless you're ready to go straight to bed.
4. Tropicana Cookies Auto
Just like the Zkittlez Auto strain, Tropicana Cookies Auto's genetics lean to the Indica side, and this hybrid offers an excellent blend of traits from its parents – Tangie and Girl Scout Cookies – which were huge bestsellers in the past.
You will enjoy a lemon-like aroma, which is due to the presence of the terpene called limonene, but below this invigorating citrusy smell, you'll also discern sandalwood and sweet notes that just take the flavor to a whole new level.
The plant's growth is rapid, with full maturity being reached after approximately eight to nine weeks. The buds are large and dense, ensuring XXL yields, and 'crystals' of resin cover them all over, resulting in THC levels of up to 27%.
These are all good reasons you'd want to try these seeds – after all, a citrus smell is very pleasant in itself, plus you have the strong yet balanced hybrid effects to look forward to. The colorful buds also ensure superb bag appeal, and these seeds are highly recommended for beginner gardeners due to their ease of growth.
3. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto
This strain can be grown outside in almost any climate, and if you live in an area with plenty of sun, it can produce yields reaching up to 350 g/plant. Multiply this number by 27% THC that these beautiful flowers can produce, and you'll understand why Gorilla Zkittlez Auto is our bestselling seed line.
Of course, these plants are as generous and easy to grow indoors too. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto was bred as a no-hassle, super reliable commercial producer, so expect minimum maintenance yet maximum returns.
This auto's genetics is a hand-picked combination of the Sativa-dominant Gorilla Glue and Zkittlez, both potency champions in their own right. Most growers also fall in love with the plant's looks that feature a blend of purple, white and green colors.
This smoke is reported by many people to produce pleasant relaxation and joyful bliss. The effects creep on you, so go slow or you'll rush through the initial burst of energy too fast and the high will convert into a heavily sedating and almost narcotic buzz.
2. Gorilla Auto
Gorilla Auto is another popular strain with THC levels of up to 24%, which is a formidable potency but not so high as to make you green out with one half-toke too many. This makes it ideal for habitual users who love the process of smoking itself as well as adventurous beginners who don't mind extreme experiences.
The buds are so sticky that they were named after the popular brand of glue, and the resin has a scent of pine about it. This makes the flowers a dream come true for hash and extract makers.
Gorilla Auto's numerous buds and their thick coat of trichomes mean that a lot of THC and other chemicals are produced relative to the overall size of the plant. All in all, it's not surprising this award-winning autoflower has been a bestseller for so many years.
1. Banana Purple Punch Auto
This auto strain is becoming a more and more popular choice among our customers, due to its beautiful colors and a high THC content that can reach up to 26%. This Indica-dominant hybrid is a great nighttime smoke thanks to the strong relaxing effects that really pack a punch and result in a heavy couchlock.
Banana Purple Punch Auto plants are easy to cultivate both outdoors and indoors. The flowers have a sweet, candy-like smell, with an almost musky, earth-like tinge to it, which is very noticeable and distinct. The name of the strain is a clue to what you're into in terms of the smoke's flavor.
The parents of this autoflower are Strawberry Banana and our own Indica-dominant Purple Punch, that's why the plants have many of the traits typically associated with the Indica type of cannabis.
Banana Purple Punch Auto produces really nice and dense buds with very little maintenance, making it a terrific choice for beginners. You'll certainly be happy with these seeds, from the enjoyable aromas to the pleasing sensations you get from all that THC. This is just one more winning combination that is sure to be decorated with awards in the future.
Conclusion
The strains we have discussed are all strong, having a THC content that is around 25% or more, so expect really potent effects. Rest assured that they can overwhelm even the most experienced consumer. Each strain also has its own distinctive aroma and appearance which offer slightly different recreational effects and medical benefits due to the different terpenes and cannabinoids present in them.
Some of these plants are award-winning, and all have been bred for easy cultivation and good production! The time from sowing seeds to harvesting is a little over two months, making them a great choice for those who want a quick turnaround without sacrificing the quality and quantity of the harvest.
The flexibility of autoflowering genetics means that the cost of the seeds and the time you spend cultivating them are a great investment, but always make sure to buy your autos from reputable vendors, such as Fast Buds, as seed quality is probably the single most important factor of success.
