Femanized Fast Seeds
Tootiehobgoblinstarted grow question 5 months ago
I just purchased some femanized fast seeds. Should I expect that these will be photoperiod or will they be autos?

Fastversion is misleading to me. Old school fast version where 100% photoperiod plants that just happened to finish a week or 3 earlier then other photoperiods at the time.
The "new" fast versions being marketed tend to be a mix of part Photoperiod and part Autoflower, They should be all fem and photoperiod but I have had a new fast version turn auto on me because of how they are made.
Look up the strains information and lineage from the brands site and see what it is a cross with and prepare from there. If their is auto in the mix its probably a small chance.

did they say photoperiod or autoflower?
"fast" can indicated that it was bred with ruderalis in hopes it made it flower faster, but still be a photoperiod. this is a false hope. Autoflowers are not actually faster to flower. People just erroneously don't start counting days until 1-2 weeks after it has alreaday entered flower, because they are relying on what they see.
7-9 weeks is normal. Most will be 8-9 weeks whether labeled as "fast" or not. some can take longer, too, but not relevant here. You don't need to infuse weak ass ruderalis genes to get a 7-week flower period. you simply need to put in the effort to select for that trait and make it consistent in the offspring.
faster flower correlates to lower yield too, fyi. Same variance in yield output due to genetics as always... some "fast" plants will still yield very well.

Usually fast is fast flowering photoperiod. Usually will finish 2 or 3 weeks earlier then a true photoperiod.
