About Faf
Faf combines Northern Lights x Skunk heritage into a reliable hybrid. It produces medium-tall plants with resinous flowers, a balanced uplift and soothing finish, and performs well indoors under controlled conditions or outdoors in sheltered spots in Perthshire.
Faf is a balanced hybrid that leans slightly towards sativa characteristics. It combines an energetic head high with steady body relaxation.
THC levels typically sit between 18 and 22 percent. This gives a clear cerebral lift without overwhelming sedation.
CBD remains low in Faf, usually under 1 percent. The low CBD content means effects are driven primarily by THC and the terpene profile.
Faf traces back to Northern Lights x Skunk genetics. This lineage provides stability, resin production, and a classic aroma profile.
Seeds are commonly available as feminised varieties for predictable female plants. Regular seeds exist for breeders who prefer to work with male genetics.
Under cool northern summers Faf is best treated as an intermediate grow, needing attention to humidity and airflow. It responds well to training and moderate feeding but requires care to avoid mould.
Faf finishes flowering in around eight to ten weeks. Buds develop resin and density as the cycle progresses.
Yields are moderate outdoors and can be above average indoors with good conditions. Experienced growers can push heavier crops with training and an extended vegetative period.
Plants reach a medium to tall stature with an open, branching structure. Flowering tops form well but benefit from topping and low-stress training to control height.
Indoors Faf does well under controlled conditions with proper ventilation and training. Outdoors it ripens reliably in Perthshire when given shelter from persistent rain.
Growing Faf in Perthshire requires attention to late summer weather and reliable shelter during rain. With cool northern summers you should protect buds from damp and ensure good airflow to limit mould risks.
Effects start with a clear, uplifting cerebral buzz and move into relaxed focus. Users report a creative edge without heavy sedation.
Flavours are earthy with citrus top notes and a subtle sweetness. The smoke is generally smooth with a bright finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Faf usually flowers in eight to ten weeks under a standard 12/12 schedule, with peak resin production in the later weeks.
Aim for around 20–26°C during the day in vegetative growth and slightly cooler at night; avoid sustained cold that can slow development.
Keep humidity moderate in veg (40–60%) and lower it in late flowering (30–45%) to reduce mould risk, especially in damp climates.
A well-draining loam or a quality peat-free compost with added perlite gives a good balance of moisture retention and aeration.
Feed moderately; Faf responds to balanced nutrients but can show nutrient burn if overfed, so increase strength gradually.
Watch for powdery mildew and grey mould in cool, damp conditions, and be vigilant for spider mites and aphids during indoor grows.
Dry for around seven to ten days in a dark, ventilated space, then cure in jars for at least two weeks to improve flavour and smoothness.
Yes, Faf can be grown outdoors in the UK with shelter from rain and good airflow; sites in Perthshire can be suitable with the right microclimate.
Good indoor cannabis grow room setups include proper lighting, ventilation, humidity control, and space for training; match light intensity and photoperiod to the plant stage and ensure airflow to limit mould.
Faf works well with SCROG to even the canopy and increase bud sites, and it can be adapted for SOG if using many small plants and short veg periods.
