~ FASTBUDS CHEMDAWG AUTOFLOWER~
'The history of the Chemdawg strain starts in the early 90s where a group of cannabis breeders from Colorado were following a band on tour and took some of their weed with them, they had named this weed “chem bud” due to the unique chemical and diesel flavors.
When they got to one of the shows, they sold a couple of grams to a group of friends who quickly realized those were some special buds and, lucky for them, the buds had a couple of Chemdawg seeds (before they actually knew what they were) which they stored.
When one of the friends, who was also a cannabis grower, went back to his home on the East Coast, he germinated some of the seeds and started selecting the best phenotypes to continue developing those genetics even further.
As you may know by now, his effort paid off, and soon enough there were two versions of this strain going around, one was Indica-dominant and the other was a Sativa-leaning hybrid.
Both of these versions quickly spread around and several breeders developed new strains with these genetics, getting known by almost every cannabis consumer, becoming extremely popular and giving birth to a lot of famous strains such as Sour Diesel and OG Kush, although this isn’t confirmed, several old-school growers swear by it.' *content credit to FastBuds

The Spec's:
'These precious genetics were boosted by the Fast Buds team to provide a super tough, potent, and easy-to-grow strain.
This Chemdawg Auto from their 'Originals' line grows around 90cm and is very resilient to diseases and colder climates but watch out because if you’re growing outdoors, your neighbors will be able to smell it easily!
This strain can be cultivated even by beginner growers due to it requiring minimal maintenance and can produce up to 400gr/m2 in 8-9 weeks, this is one of the shortest varieties FastBuds offers and can be the perfect choice for those growing on a balcony or in a limited grow space.
As soon as the trichome production starts, you can expect a terpene profile that resembles a mix of chemicals that is a delicious blend of diesel, gasoline, and petroleum.
With up to 20% THC, you can expect a super potent high that will take you into another world and leave you there, while you relax with a strong corporal high that will leave your whole body melting, a perfect effect to relax after a long day of work or inducing a good night of sleep.' *content credit to FastBuds

WEEKLY UPDATES:
7/19- Here we go into her third week of life and her roots are now getting developed as is evident by the increase in her growth rate in the last couple of days.
The daily routine of watering her with de-chlorinated straight water ph'd to 6.2-6.5 @ 74℉ continues. She's got great color and remains healthy with a noticeable increase in her growth starting to occur.
7/21- I'm checking her 4g pot twice daily, lifting it to check its weight to see if she needs water, and watering her with de-chlorinated straight water ph'd to 6.2-6.5 @ 74℉.
She's very healthy and starting to increase her growth rate now and is up to 4.5" tall. I anticipate her really starting to get going her over the next week! 🤩
7/23- She's on a mission now! She's healthy, has great color and vigor!
I brewed up a batch of Compost Tea and gave her 0.5g of it today which should give the microbial life a kick in the butt for sure!

This week I'll be giving her a top dress of slow release organic dry amendments @ 2 tbsp/g consisting of Dr. Earth Premium Gold 4-4-4 and Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 in a 40/60 ratio respectively.
