WARNING: Coming to a town near you- Beasters
Beasters is actually a term bud that comes from a strain of weed called M-39 that is actually fairly potent. The name Beasters was applied to this type of weed because it is often harvested far too early; that explains the lack of high, or draining effect you describe. It is created solely for mass-production, so it is also handled a lot. I have come across this bud before; it is highly identifiable by its looks and the fact that it does crackle. At first I thought it was because of ferts and nutes, but now I know better. Avoid this weed at all costs, unless you wanna try and land some seeds for the future and raise the strain as it should be.

I'm still trying to get to the bottom of what strain this actually is. I have heard it is M39. I don't know if this is true because I've smoked real homegrown M39. It smelled sweet and had big calyxs covered in trichomes, and it got me pretty stoned. Now obviously it was grown until maturity and flushed, harvested, and cured properly which makes a difference, but compared to the beasters that are apparently M39, I noticed no resemblance to the real M39. M39 is Skunk #1 x Northern Lights #5 by the way.
Now, apparently this strain of beasters is harvested around 40 days. I've heard from real growers that have grown real M39 that it can be picked so early because it bulks up so quickly but it is not really ready until around 77 days. If this beasters strain IS m39, that would make sense on why it sucks, and why it's just a bunch of red hairs and no large calyxs.
I've also heard that the strain is BC Big Bud. This would make sense considering the beasters buds are usually very huge and dense.
I've also heard its BC Biker Bud, or Fresland.
Perhaps someone from Toronto can shed some light on the actual strain of that shit that's been being exported to the U.S. for the past few years.

I've had 7 gram nugs and seen up to 14 gram nugs, so no matter what it has to be a strain that will grow very rapidly with extreme density well before harvest time. If you can get in touch with SubCool, then he can probably solve the mystery for you.

I've heard from a Toronto Grower that the Vietnamese grow the M39 (the red haired weed), and the bikers grow the other lighter green beasters.
He claims they pick it at 6 weeks, and that's why it sucks. He claims when he grows the same clone, he lets it go for 8-9 weeks and it doesn't suck.
Like I said, I've heard from real (not commercial) growers that M39 produces huge buds fast, but isn't really ready until 8-9 weeks, even though it will have huge buds by week 6.
However, I've also heard that the strain is actually a cross of M39 and BC Big Bud. Like coledog855 said, it has to be a strain that will grow very rapidly with extreme density well before harvest time. I too have had extremely large buds up to 12 grams.
I want to solve this mystery, because I want to grow this strain the right way. Why? Because I believe it has a lot of potential. The reason it sucks, is because it's harvested at week 6 of flowering, it isn't flushed, harvested, or cured properly. Nevertheless it produces huge buds.
Well, imagine doing it the right way. I'm sure it would be a nice smoke.

Good luck getting a hold of the seeds. I'd imagine that most that you'd find (which isn't much) would be immature.

No. For one, if it is M-39, then that is a common strain. Sensi Seeds sells Shiva Skunk and it's the same thing (Skunk 1 x Northern Lights 5).
I'm not planning on growing bagseed from beasters, I'm planning on getting either seeds or a cutting.

By the way, I just got confirmation that the popular strain that we are seeing everywhere is indeed M-39 produced in Ontario by the Vietnamese but not exclusively. It's extremely popular with them and is grown by many and turns out the same via it being a cutting, and the growers all follow a specific formula as far as nutrients.

also, the only reason why this bud is being mass produced because its ready to smoke in 6 weeks.. not because they dont care, but because it takes so short to grow and its mass produced, so just stfu and stop complaining.

Actually I do know what I'm talking about. I don't state things that I don't know or speculation. You need to chill out, learn how to spell, and smoke a joint.
