Among the prestigious accolades, Fast Buds was recognized as the Best Autoflower Breeder 2026, further solidifying their reputation as leaders in this niche market. The competition saw more than 75 entries from various global competitors, showcasing the strength and diversity of autoflower genetics. Fast Buds not only took home the coveted title but also ranked high with five of their ten entries soaring to podium finishes.

Details of the Awards

The awards included:

• - Best Autoflower Breeder 2026 – 42 Fast Buds

This extraordinary performance marks a significant milestone in Fast Buds' history as it was the first time they selected and cultivated all entries entirely within their own facilities. Previously, many of their wins arose from the community's talented growers. This self-cultivation strategy allowed the team behind the breeding process to supervise every aspect of their entries, from genetics selection to final cultivation.

A Focus on Innovation and Quality

The standout among the awarded strains was Mendo Frost Auto, which earned 1st place in the Indica category. This strain was carefully engineered using champion genetics—Frostbanger Auto and Mendo Frost, both of which have garnered prior awards. The creation of Mendo Frost Auto was a strategic move to blend exceptional potency and resin capabilities, making it one of Fast Buds' most anticipated strains.

Their Champions Collection was also a highlight, delivering multiple awards through strains like Mango Frost Auto and Mango Cherry Runtz Auto. This collection's success illustrates Fast Buds’ approach of crossbreeding proven award-winning genetics to create high-quality autoflowers.

Adding to the excitement, GMO Auto, introduced at the same event, wowed judges with its unique flavor profile—incorporating a distinctive garlic and savory terpene profile that sets it apart from typical cannabis strains. Its debut podium finish demonstrates the potential for GMO Auto to become a fan favorite in the cannabis community.

On the other hand, the long-standing classic, Gorilla Z Auto, clinched 2nd place in the Indica category, proving its consistency and lasting appeal even years post-release.
