What is the Fast Gun strain?
Fast Gun is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Fast Gun is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by breeders seeking to combine rapid flowering characteristics with potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of a broader trend toward faster-finishing cultivars. Breeders focused on creating a plant that maintained desirable traits while significantly reducing the time from seed to harvest, making it particularly appealing to growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking quicker turnaround times.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a combination of deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the compact bud structure, creating visual contrast. The name 'Fast Gun' references both the strain's quick flowering time and its potent, fast-acting effects that users describe as both cerebral and physically relaxing.
Notable features of Fast Gun include its relatively short flowering period and balanced hybrid effects. While specific genetic details are not widely documented in peer-reviewed sources, the strain has gained recognition among certain cannabis communities for its combination of efficiency and potency. It represents a practical example of selective breeding aimed at addressing specific cultivation challenges while maintaining recreational and potential therapeutic value.

The strain flowers in approximately 7-8 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants usually reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow slightly taller outdoors.
