GMO Fast by Dutch Passion

GMO Fast takes one of the most talked-about terpene profiles in modern cannabis and puts it on a faster clock. Dutch Passion set out to find a super potent, super pungent GMO, also known as Garlic Cookies, and crossed a carefully chosen clone with its own Think Fast. The result is a stable, very potent feminized photoperiod with a savory profile that sounds nothing like the fruity strains around it.

The “Fast” in the name matters. Think Fast carries a recessive autoflower gene, and GMO Fast inherits that same quick-finishing trait. The plants still behave like normal photoperiods: they stay in veg until you flip the lights to 12/12 indoors, or until days shorten outdoors. Once flowering starts, they move quickly and are typically ready about 7-8 weeks after the flip. This is not an autoflower.

Potency is right where GMO fans want it. Dutch Passion reports that THC usually sits around or above 20%, and initial lab results came in around 22-23%. The spec sheet rates it extremely high.

Pair that with a September outdoor harvest in temperate zones and you get a strain built for growers who want loud, heavy-hitting flowers without waiting until the end of fall.

Aroma, Flavor, and That Famous GMO Funk

Most GMO Fast plants express the trademark savory garlic and onion aroma that made the original Garlic Cookies so famous. It is not sweet, not candy and not citrus. It is earthy, salty, almost kitchen-like, and it sticks to everything it touches. Dutch Passion calls the terpene profile game-changing, and anyone used to dessert strains will understand why.

That loud, pungent character starts showing during bloom and becomes stronger as the flowers ripen and cure. Plan your odor control from the first week of flowering: quality carbon filters and good air exchange are a must, especially in apartments or shared buildings.

Dutch Passion lists the effect as hybrid, and with THC in the low-to-mid twenties this is a potent smoke. Experienced consumers will appreciate the strength; newcomers should go slowly and give each session time to build.

Why Grow a Fast Version of GMO?

Classic GMO lines are known for long bloom times. By bringing in Think Fast, Dutch Passion shortened the flowering window to about 7-8 weeks indoors while keeping the photoperiod benefits: you choose how long to veg, you can clone your favorite mother, and plants can be trained into a wide, flat canopy before the flip.

Outdoors, the faster finish is a real advantage. In temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere, GMO Fast can be harvested in September (March in the Southern Hemisphere). That makes it well suited to guerrilla and backyard growers in regions where fall turns cold and wet quickly and late-finishing strains risk mold.

Dutch Passion rates the yield XL and lists GMO Fast as suitable for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse growing. Indoors, a short veg followed by topping and low-stress training builds an even canopy of colas. Outdoors, start plants early enough to establish a strong frame before the days shorten.

Because the profile is so dense and the flowers so potent, keep humidity in check during late bloom and give the canopy steady airflow. Dense, resinous flowers reward a careful dry and cure, which also brings out the full savory character.
