Favorite Strain Photo Contest

When it comes to Fastbuds' Blackberry, words are simply not enough the pictures speak for themselves. The color, the aroma, the flavor... it’s a complete package you definitely want in your growbox. It delivers a truly beautiful result, with a perfectly balanced high that suits any occasion. It’s hands down the most stunning plant I’ve ever grown, and the one that made me genuinely proud to have in my garden. Fastbuds for the win!

Hi folks. If you like more than a few polyhybirds i have F1s and F6 American strains to be grown. No need for sob story.

Big CONGRATULATIONS to the winners! 🏆 Awesome contest, thank you North Atlantic Seeds and Dirty Bird Genetics!♥️♥️♥️

Garlic Storm is a frost monster with strong aroma and flavor in the smoke, which doesn't always translate in my experience. It's super fruity and sweet. It may not yield the best but it is consistent and is at least average in that regard. The nugs form nice and dense all the way to the bottom in goflball-shaped buds. Not only that, I bred it with Buttermilk Biscuits and its progeny outshines nearly every plant I've grown since. Because I made 1000+ fem seeds, I use them as filler in nearly every grow cycle so I can cull the weaker plants. "It's cool like that.. cool like that.. it's cool like that." - Digable Planets. Five years later, the seeds still germinate 100%.

Rainbow melon from fastbuds 420 was absolutely my favorite strain so far the growth right off rib caught my eye. She wanted to bush out and be the most dominant plant in the room from day one the vibrant green colors all the way to fade almost like Indian summer. This plant truly stole my heart this year. I cloned it, and the clone almost appeared to be like I never even took it off the plant exact same fade same growth everything definitely checked all the boxes for me.FastBuds420 4 LiFe🔥💯

My favorite has been lover's Moon by dirty bird genetics. It grows fast and vigorous, doesn't stretch much and finishes in 52-54 days. Not the heaviest yielder but makes up for it with frost! Seems to have potential to be a great washer. It's similar to a GMO but more earthy and a very subtle sweetness that I can't place hiding in the background. The buds are dark purple, almost black, all the way through and super frosty!

The infamous Apples and Bananas from Compound Genetics. I love this strain. I was lucky enough to acquire a clone from a local grow shop in Richmond Va. I grew her out, cut multiple clones and a year later, I returned to the same grow shop and was blessed to give out cuttings at a cannabis cup event to whoever wanted them. P.S.- These photos were taken by myself. Thank yiu

This is my all-time favorite strain not just because of its appearance, but because Red Hot Cookies hits the perfect balance: it's visually stunning, aromatically intense, and delivers an energizing, creative high with just enough body relaxation to keep things grounded. Whether I’m unwinding or diving into a creative project, this strain always hits the sweet spot. Plus, it finishes fast, has a great yield, and is a grower’s dream with its strong resistance and unique terpene profile.

The taste of Rs11 combined with Super Lemon Haze is something special. Exclusively a hint of Louis Vuitton perfume, something unique. Fresh, lemony, slightly menthol, and then hazy with something one-of-a-kind. Super strain Calli Amsti XXX

Jet Puft - Compound Genetics I purposefully tracked the beans down after falling in love with multiple cuts from Compound Genetics. The first I had was Pink Certz when the packs were sold out and commercial facilities were paying 20 times MSRP to get them. The Pink Certz was insane candy gas with such a full, exotic profile you couldn't put it down. Then I came across some Jokerz and again was amazed with one of the strongest candy gas profiles I've experienced. Then I really started to pay attention and take stock of the collabs and network that they were putting together. Cannarado, RuntZ, Cookies Fam all working with them. During this time I became very nostalgic for a cut of High Octane that used to be around, clone only. Looking for some of that The Menthol magicical 'turns the candy gas up to level 1000' and some of the Jet Fuel Gelato's 'this almost tastes as good as the old High Octane' led me to their self-proclaimed gassiest and most exotic profile in The Menthol crosses - Jet Puft. This is Marshmallow OG #9 crossed with The Menthol. She is head-turning-ly minty in veg, a trait she passes down to nearly every offspring I've made with her and a trait I now look for to tell me who is gonna get real gassy in flower. In flower she is amenable to many growing styles and will provide resin-filled trichome coverage that would make anyone envious. I've done in her soil, hydro, and aero - all to great results. She loves duckfooting and has world-class bud morphology and large internodal spacing. She was bred intentionally for PM resistance and to bring true modern-zaza-grade profiles to the commercial markets. The real power in this strain is the sheer umpteenth degree of exotic gas-candy-fumes-loud-ultra-dank-right-in-your-face profile, this is more than terpenes. She is heavy on canna-sulfur compounds, a flavorent class. This is something that a homegrower would smell once and say, good lord thats gas but you'd never be able to read on the back of a mylar package, because we simply don't test for these right now... This is my personal favorite strain at the end of the day because my entire growing hobby is attributable to being an Irene chaser, needing to find that cut from my yester-years. After hundreds of beans and many unfruitful paths, I have my Irene cut, the exact same one I grew up on. The sad reality is that Jet Puft is more Irene than Irene ever was - she is just better in every way. Seriously, if you find yourself wondering where in the world the good smelling flower went...wondering where the loud went and why there is mids everywhere...if you find yourself saying 'that aint gas' to your friends' flower...then you might wanna try to grow a cut of this from Compound Genetics. My one anecdote I always go to with this cut is the first time I bred with her, the first time I ever flowered the cut, the chaff from recovering seeds was some of the best tasting smoke I'd had in years. After running the flower two weeks past maturity, then drying the flower about 3 weeks with no humidity control to crumble it to dust, then recovering the seeds - the refuse from this became my headstash bag and didn't leave my side until it was gone. I'm very much a snob with my medicine and ME with a bag of shake really got laughs from the homies. This is the type of dank that you can put into a bag, put that into a bag, seal that in a bag, then put it in a bookbag in a different room and still every single person that enters that dwelling will immediately think you have lbs sitting around in the open. This is the type of dank that gave way to colloquial terms like 'loud' and 'gas', the profile is unmistakeable and unstoppable. To me, she is the epitome of everything I looked for in cannabis as a medicinal user - and, somehow, she is also a wonderful and giving partner to the cultivator side of my relationship with the plant.
