~ 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 βchem budβ 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 isnβt 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 youβre 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:
8/2- Here we go into Week Five and things are looking good to go! She's starting to flower and is looking absolutely fantastic!
After giving her a good drink of Compost Tea yesterday, today she received her regular watering of 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3 @ 74β
8/4- Now that my girl is in flower her appetite and thirst have dramatically increased. Her growth continues as does her flower development and she's looking like a Rockstar!
I've increased her regular watering of her 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3 @ 74β to twice a day now to keep her from drying out (disadvantage of smaller fabric pots... Frequent watering's).
8/6- This girl's on fire! Five weeks old and she's looking spectacular with great color, health and she's loaded with bud sites!
Her twice daily watering's of 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3-6.5 @ 72-74β continue along with constant tucking of shade leaves to maximize light penetration from the UnitFarm UF4000.
I'm brewing up some Compost Tea that she'll be getting when it's done. I'll also top dress her before her tea with some Down To Earth Bio-Fish which will give her a boost of P & K.
8/8- Today I removed some lower shade leaves and all the lower flower sites leaving only the last 4-5 nodes with flower sites. This will direct all her energy into the TOP of her, which is where I want her to be concentrating all her effort!
Daily watering of 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3-6.5 @ 72-74β continues, although today her water was substituted for some freshly brewed Compost Tea which she received 0.5g of.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! ππ~
