Fat Bastard Autoflower Seeds

Fat Bastard Autoflower is a balanced feminized autoflower, 50% indica and 50% sativa, built on Fat Bastard’s Goldmember × Monkey Spunk cross with ruderalis genetics added, so it flowers on its own clock instead of waiting for shorter days. Its taste is listed as fruity and skunky. Expect about 8 to 10 weeks from seed to harvest.

History & lineage

Fat Bastard is a cross of Goldmember and Monkey Spunk. SeedFinder lists the same cross under several seed companies, so who first bred it isn’t settled. Goldmember is a cross of Sour Banana Larry and Golden Retriever, which Leafly credits to Thunderfudge, and SeedFinder traces this strain’s Goldmember to that line. Monkey Spunk crosses Gorilla Glue #4 with Lilac Diesel, per Leafly and SeedFinder.

This autoflower adds ruderalis to that cross, the line that lets a plant flower by age rather than day length. Its seed listings give it as an even 50/50 split between indica and sativa.

Aroma & flavour

Expect fruity and skunky notes. One seed listing gives the taste as fruity and skunk, another as skunk, and the first lists humulene, caryophyllene and myrcene as its terpenes; an older listing for the photoperiod Fat Bastard describes the smell as sweet, fruity and skunky. Leafly’s Fat Bastard page is small, with seven reviews and no parents named, so it may not reflect this autoflower; the flavours reviewers there mention most are diesel and earthy. Our terpene guide explains what those terpenes are.

Effects, as users report them

Leafly’s Fat Bastard page has only seven reviews and names no parents, so these reports may not reflect this autoflower; reviewers there most often report feeling relaxed, then creative and happy, and the downsides they mention are dry eyes and a headache. One seed listing gives its effects as euphoric and relaxed, and another lists THC at 30 to 35%. Effects vary by person and dose, and newer users in particular can feel anxious with any strain, so start low.

Growing Fat Bastard Autoflower

Fat Bastard Autoflower switches to flowering by itself a few weeks after it sprouts, so there’s no light change to make; many growers run 18 to 20 hours of light a day from seed to harvest, and our autoflower light schedule guide explains the options. Expect about 8 to 10 weeks from seed to harvest; one seed listing gives an indoor flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks, which is the flowering stretch only. Its seed listing marks it as suitable for beginners.

One seller’s data sheet puts its height at about 150 cm (4.9 ft), so check your headroom; our guide to autoflower height covers what to expect, and gentle low-stress training early on keeps the canopy even. Expect around 350–400 g/m² (1.1–1.3 oz/ft²) indoors and 100–150 g (3.5–5.3 oz) per plant outdoors. The same data sheet lists it for a temperate climate. Near the end, judge when to harvest by the trichomes rather than the calendar.
