Gorilla Gas F1 FAST is a sativa-dominant, feminised strain that was created by crossing Gorilla Glue with the Cali-sourced (GMO Cookies x Legend OG). These plants have great structure and uniformity, producing high yields while the excellent resin production and strong, diesel nose make very high quality extracts.
Gorilla Gas F1 FAST is a tall strain that can exceed 200cm. when grown outdoors. In this environment plants favour hot, warm, dry and humid climates, the latter helped by its good resistance to mould attacks. In the northern hemisphere harvest is in mid-September while in the southern hemisphere it’s in March. Indoor flowering takes 7 – 9 weeks. Growers are advised to use good carbon filters to neutralize smells during flowering if neighbours are an issue. Mature buds are dense and chunky and extremely sticky with resin.
Gorilla Gas F1 FAST has a spicy chocolate scent with heavy diesel notes and hints of Skunk and pine. THC production reaches 23% while CBD is low at less than 1%. The effect is potent and both physically and mentally relaxing.
What are F1 Cannabis Strains?
F1 cannabis seeds or plants are the first generation offspring of two parent plants. F1 hybrid seeds or strains are the first generation
offspring of two pure, distinct strains. Note that using two pure lines, the result of intensive inbreeding, is drastically different to simple cross-breeding.
F1 plants have been used for decades throughout the agricultural industry because they offer several advantages; hybrid vigour allows plants to grow bigger more quickly. Plants are more uniform, stable and offer greater resistance to plant pests and diseases. Yields are much higher too, an important consideration.
However, it should be noted that it is not recommended to allow F1 plants to breed for seed crops as the resulting F2 plants will be much less uniform, being less stable and having greater genetic variability. New F1 seeds will need to be purchased or a lengthy and complex F1 breeding project carried out to produce more seedstock.
What are FAST cannabis strains?
So-called FAST (version) cannabis strains are photoperiod strains that have been crossed with an autoflowering strain with the progeny being selected for further breeding to produce seeds on the basis of non-autoflowering characteristics. In other words, they are phoperiod (photosensitive) plants that have inherited the auto parent’s tendency for shorter/faster flowering times.
While FAST versions have very similar traits to the photoperiod parent, and can be grown indoors, they are possibly most useful to outdoor growers in more marginal regions where standard photoperiod versions might not mature before bad weather sets in. They are also recommended for the more impatient grower who doesn’t want to grow autoflowering plants.
Depending on the original photoperiod version’s flowering time, a FAST version may flower between one and three weeks faster.
