Best Reddit Post October 2026: Meet Our Winners!
Another month, another round of great posts from our growmies! This month's selection brought us some beautiful plants, impressive results, and growers sharing their experiences with Fast Buds genetics.
We've picked our favorites, so let's see who made it into this month's winners!
Best Post: From Autoflowers to Photoperiod Monsters
Our main winner takes the spotlight with a detailed grow story covering several Fast Buds strains, from indoor autoflowers to outdoor photoperiod plants.
After trying different autoflower breeders and getting only average results, this growmie decided to give Fast Buds a shot. Mexican Airlines was the first surprise, followed by Frostbanger, which impressed with its dark purple flowers and frosty trichomes.
But the story didn't stop there!
The grower then moved on to outdoor photoperiod strains, including Lemon Cherry Runtz and Biscotti Gelato, reporting 4 lbs per plant and branches so heavy they needed support.
What we particularly loved was the enthusiasm behind the post:
"Every single bud was super dense and ABSOLUTELY covered with frosty trichomes!"
The grower also praised the consistency of the genetics and shared how their experience changed their expectations of autoflowers.
Full Post:
"After years of trying different autoflower breeders and only getting "okay" genetics I heard about 42 fast buds and decided to put in an order with hopes of finally getting some good stable autoflower genetics and let me tell you being impressed was an understatement! I grew out their Mexican Airlines strain and the size of this autoflower so early into flower was insane! So many main branches and colas with no effort whatsoever! I also had grown it in a 3 gallon pot and got much better results that I have seen from people growing in 5-7gallon pots. Every fast bud strain actually has the temps and structure the website lists, most of the time they are even better!! It's good to know you can actually get quality seeds from a trusted breeder and know that you aren't waisting months of your time and work just to end up with your genetics failing you. I grew out their frostbanger for the first time and the potency was astonishing to say the least! The buds were turning a darker purple as soon as flowering started and then turned into some very nice light pink/purple buds! I have yet to have a failed germination from them and another thing I can truly say is that I have never had "larfy" buds either which is a big part for me! Every single nug was super dense and ABSOLUTELY covered with frosty trichomes! I then went on to try their photo strains for my outdoor grows so I went with Lemon Cherry Runtz and Biscotti Gelato and right off the start these plants took off and didn't slow down for a minute! They grew amazingly all through veg and transitioned into flower perfectly! The size of these plants are insane!! Both plants were topped a few times each and both grew over 12ft tall and over 8ft wide!! The stalks were significantly larger than a 20oz bottle and looked like a tree!!! I ended up yielding 4lbs from each plant easily and all were just water only! I ended up having a couple of strains out with them that ended up getting mold and I lost half of the plants but the ones from fast buds never had a single moldy bud!! Every strain just grows so effortlessly which makes it so much easier for the grower. The only problem you might have is the branches won't be able to hold up these massive rock hard buds you will have which is a good problem to have if you ask me 😂. If you want an all around amazing breeder whether you like autos or photos THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!! Thank you fast buds for providing us with stable genetics that we can rely on grow after grow!! 🔥🔥🔥"
A great example of why we love reading these grow reports. Thanks for sharing your experience, and congratulations on taking the top spot!
Best Video: A Colorful Z42 Grow
Our Best Video winner gave us a closer look at Z42 during its final two weeks of flowering, and those colors certainly caught our attention!
The video shows dense, frosty flowers surrounded by dark purple leaves, with plenty of detail to admire. But the grower was just as impressed with the aroma, describing Z42 as smelling like “a fresh bag of candy”, with a gassy note that lingered long after.
The same post also featured Gary Sherbet and Garlic Mint Sherbet, making this one seriously tasty-looking lineup!
