Light it up and fill the room with heavy smoke, full of kerosene, fruit, and syrup flavors. A quick look at the terpene profile gives you a better idea of the full flavor profile:

- Myrcene: also found in hops, mango, and lemongrass.

- Alpha & beta-pinene: easily compared with the smell of pine trees. 

- Beta-caryophyllene: found in black pepper.

- Limonene: naturally encountered in citrus leaves. 

- Alpha phellandrene: fresh and minty.

- Eucalyptol: also minty.

- Alpha humulene: part of what produces the ‘hoppy’ smell in many beers.

- Phytol: responsible for balsamic, grassy flavors. 

- Valencene: obtained from Valencian oranges; sweet, citrus taste.

- Borneo: camphor, earthy aroma.

The smell the Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds’ plant produces could arouse suspicion. To keep your treasure safe, make sure to provide plenty of ventilation if you’re planting cannabis seeds indoors. Using a carbon filter can reduce the smell of any air leaving the grow space—we love the fragrance, but not everybody does. 

How to germinate Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds

Germinating your seeds is the best way to give them an excellent start in life. It ensures strong roots and a healthy plant. A common debate amongst the cannabis community is the best germination method. We prefer the ‘paper towel & plate’ method, and we offer our germination guarantee based on it. Document the germination process and let us know if seeds don’t sprout. We’ll send you replacements free of charge.

The process is simple: 

- First, prepare what you need: a plate, 2 paper kitchen towels, Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds, and distilled water. 

- Take a clean plate and put a sheet of kitchen paper on top of it. 

- Add some distilled water to make the towel wet but not soaked. 

- Evenly place your auto Critical Fast Bud seeds on top, with at least an inch or so between each. 

- Wet another sheet of kitchen towel and carefully lay it on top. 

- Keep the plate and its contents somewhere dark and dry until all the marijuana seeds germinate—closets or cupboards are perfect. 

- Keep an eye on the setup, and don’t let the kitchen towels dry out. 

- 24–120 hours should be enough for all the Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds to sprout tiny taproots. 

To give yourself the very best chance of success, always follow our germination guide.

Critical Fast Bud autoflower cannabis seeds grow guide

Remember that with autoflower Critical Fast Bud seeds, the plants aren’t photo-sensitive—this means they don’t take their cue to flower from light-cycle. Autoflowers are genetically programmed to begin blooming after a certain time. The main thing to be aware of with autoflower marijuana seeds is that you can’t delay the plant's flower cycle. That means any oversights or issues in the germination or veg stage are very difficult to rectify later—this is why autoflower varieties don’t make great beginner plants. 

Another consideration when growing Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds is the density of the buds when they start to flower. The tightly-packed flowers are excellent for your yield but open the plant up to the risk of mold—but don’t worry; you can easily avoid it. 

Keep your grow area well ventilated and spot-check buds regularly to save yourself the hassle of mold. A careful inspection with the naked eye reveals any sign of trouble. Be on the lookout for a powdery residue—an indicator of mold. 

Trichomes have a similar appearance but show up as shiny white crystals. Watch out for the difference, and you don’t need to fret over mold. When planting marijuana seeds outdoors, natural ventilation means mold is less of a problem. Give your plant a gentle shake after rainfall to remove droplets. Not much force is needed. 

When grown in the Northern Hemisphere, Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds favor a Mediterranean climate—something dry, warm, and sunny. Reap your last harvest no later than end-October. The short grow cycle means you can plant more seeds later and enjoy multiple crops throughout the year. Give plants from Critical Fast Bud auto seeds a temperature between 75 and 80 °F and relative humidity of 55–60% to get the most from them. 

Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds develop a single central cola. Topping early encourages your plant to produce more growth sites, improves light and air exposure, and results in bigger yields. Thanks to the stocky build of Critical Fast Bud autoflower, using Sea of Green (SOG) works wonders if you have multiple plants to increase canopy size. 

What are the Critical Fast Bud autoflower strain genetics?

Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds are the offspring of Critical Auto and Fast Bud (another autoflower). Let’s look further up the family tree to see what other genetics this plant possesses. Critical is the product of cross-breeding an Afghani landrace strain with heirloom Skunk cannabis seeds, intending to produce a fast-growing, heavy-yielding plant. An added benefit of the Afghani roots is that the resulting crops are particularly resilient. 

Adding ruderalis genetics produces marijuana seeds whose plants flower automatically and don’t depend on light cycles—very handy if you want to save yourself the trouble. Diesel and ruderalis heritage provides us with Fast Bud autoflower—a cannabis plant famous for its speedy growth and strong telltale Diesel aroma. Combine the thick buds from Critical, the irresistible Diesel scent, the ruderalis autoflower, and the speed of both Critical and Fast Bud—you get Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds.

Take away the autoflower properties, and the Afghani beginnings of this plant provide these marijuana seeds with the genetics to produce strong, sturdy plants.

How long do Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds take to germinate?

As with the vast majority of cannabis seeds, you should see taproots emerge within 120 hours from starting the germ process. Sometimes, it can be a lot faster than this, and you may see some movement within 24 hours. However, you should be patient and wait the full 120 hours.

Grow medium: Critical Fast Bud autoflower hydro or soil?

Growing in organic soil always brings out the absolute maximum of those natural flavors. Loads of people love the classic Diesel and Critical aromas, so opt for soil if you value the taste. Auto Critical Fast Bud seeds grow superbly hydroponically, so if you have a hydro set-up at home, these guys will thrive. 

What is the average Critical Fast Bud autoflower height?

Usually, these plants don’t grow taller than five feet. Like its parent, Critical, Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds grow wider than taller, making it a perfect choice for home growers with low ceilings or if you have small cupboard space. For outdoor growers, the shorter nature of these plants means you can easily conceal your gardening from neighbors if you want to. 

How do autoflower seeds differ from feminized and regular?

Choosing autoflower seeds means that the plants begin to flower automatically. Regular cannabis seeds are photosensitive, meaning they won’t start flowering unless they have 12 hours of darkness—when summer ends. 

Combining ruderalis genetics gives a plant the ability to flower by itself. Ruderalis genetics also create fast versions—cannabis plants that complete their life cycle much quicker than regular strains. Feminized seeds are produced to not grow into male plants. Males pollinate female plants and get in the way of yielding fat, juicy buds. Critical Fast Bud autoflower seeds feature both autoflower and fast genetics. 

Where can I find pictures of Critical Fast Bud autoflower marijuana?
