For my Grows, fst is no advantage- if you only get 23 g of Weed.
iam very picky if it comes to automatics and weed in common.
i like to wait 2 weeks longer and have more on the branches.
like the Cindarella Jack from Dutch Passion.
or my favourites are the F1 from RQS, if you grow them indoors.
for outdoors i agree to you with fast,
there is the number of plants in a short timewindow ( Growseason) the Important thing
here i love to grow some of the red family from Sweetseeds
delicious weed, super colorful, awsome trepenes and good harvest.
I havent been lucky with the fastbuds automatics( grown outdoors)
, but after this Contest iam hoping to get some seeds from FB for next outdoor season
greetings and happy growing
