Fast Blast
Also known as: Fast Blast Auto, Fast Blast Autoflower
Fast Blast Strain Overview
Fast Blast is a hybrid cannabis strain developed specifically for rapid flowering and cultivation efficiency. The strain was created by crossing genetics from fast-flowering indica varieties with sativa-dominant hybrids, resulting in a plant that maintains robust growth characteristics while significantly reducing the time to harvest. Breeders focused on creating a strain that would appeal to both commercial growers seeking quick turnaround times and home cultivators looking for a manageable growing experience.
The strain's name reflects its most notable characteristic: exceptionally fast flowering time. Fast Blast typically exhibits a balanced hybrid structure with moderate height, making it suitable for various growing environments. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Coloration can range from deep green to purple hues, often with orange pistils weaving through the compact flower structures. The plant's rapid development cycle has made it particularly popular in regions with shorter growing seasons.
While Fast Blast is not considered a heritage or landrace strain with extensive historical documentation, it represents a modern breeding approach focused on practical cultivation characteristics. The strain's development reflects broader trends in cannabis cultivation toward efficiency and predictability, though some connoisseurs note that these fast-flowering varieties may sacrifice some complexity in flavor and effect profiles compared to longer-flowering traditional strains. The strain's popularity has grown primarily among practical growers rather than cannabis enthusiasts seeking unique terpene profiles or extreme potency.

Fast Blast Strain Growing Information
Fast Blast is considered an easy-to-moderate difficulty strain suitable for beginner to intermediate growers. The strain flowers in approximately 6-8 weeks, significantly faster than many traditional photoperiod strains. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plant prefers indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be controlled, though it can also be grown outdoors in temperate climates with at least 8 weeks of favorable weather. Plant height is typically medium, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (20-26°C) and moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like low-stress training but is sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
