Big Mike’s Specialty category includes both auto-flowering and fast flowering strains. The specialty category encompasses strains that exhibit a unique cannabinoid ratio. This includes Panakeia High Terpenes CBG – adapted from the world’s first zero-THC, high CBG strain. Fast flowering strains are cultivars that contain both some auto flowering and traditional flowering genes. This hybrid creates a short-day plant that initiates flowering faster and harvests sooner than traditional strains, while still being dependent on the lighting cycle to initiate flowering. Fast flowering strains will need to be grown seasonally with the sun or provided supplemental lighting to be grown year-round.
Growing fast-flowering strains is an excellent option for cultivators looking to maximize their yields while minimizing the time required for cultivation. Fast-flowering strains have a quicker flowering period than other strains, allowing cultivators to harvest sooner. These strains are often the result of careful breeding and selection, with genetics optimized for rapid growth and high yields.
