Top 5 Cannabis Cup-Winning Autoflowers:
Banana Purple Punch - Fast Buds Seeds

Once done, expect a candy-like terpene profile with an overwhelming ripe banana flavour deliciously complemented by a fruity background that will make your mouth taste like you just ate a bag of delicious gummy bears.
Auto Cinderella Jack - Dutch Passion
Meet Auto Cinderella Jack, one of the most potent THC-rich autos ever seen. Auto Cinderella Jack® is an autoflower developed with Buddha Seeds, the innovative autoflower breeders from Spain. This fast-flowering powerhouse makes it on the list after taking first prize for autos at the 2021 High Life Cup. With over 20% of THC levels, this is one of the most potent auto strains available today.
Auto Jack - Paradise Seeds
Auto Jack is a marriage of two of the most famous strains in cannabis culture, White Widow and Jack Herer, and a robust ruderalis gene that brings a quick flowering time and compact structure to the party. The auto is the result of a pet project of Paradise Seeds chief breeder Luc Krol. His mission was to blend two of the best strains ever created to make a plant that is the best of both worlds. It must have felt like a mission accomplished when in 2017, Auto Jack took 1st place at the High Life Cup.

2023 was a good year for Fast Buds Seeds at the American Autoflower Cup. As mentioned, they took first place in the indica section and did the same in the sativa, with 1st place for Strawberry Gorilla Auto.

This Strawberry Gorilla is the real deal; expect it to pick many more awards in the future.
