~ 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 โchem budโ 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 isnโt 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 youโre 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:
8/23- Here we go into Week Four of flower and my girl's looking fantastic!
With seven weeks of growth behind her now, we don't have far to go now!
I'm continuing with her daily watering of 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @74โ and am turning her pot 1/4 turn daily as well to give her full exposure to the UnitFarm lights!
8-25- Coming up on the Eight Week mark and oh my she's looking gorgeous with another week or so to go!
Her trichome production is on full tilt and her flowers are all getting dusted with them.
I'm continuing to closely monitor the environmental conditions in the tent, especially temp's and RH as our weather has been extremely HOT๐ฅ Temp's are maxing at 82โ and RH is a steady 45% which is as good as it gets right now.
She's drinking 1g a day of straight -dechlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @74โ. She's finished with Top Dresses and will get her last Compost Tea this weekend which will carry her through her finish.
Being as she's been given 100% Organic amendments there isn't really any need to flush, just continue with watering's and cut off the amendments around 3 weeks before they finish to allow enough time for the amendments to be used up by the microbial colony.
8/27- This lady is on her way to finishing up and should be ready to hang by next week! ๐
All I'm doing is making sure that her medium remains moist with daily watering's of straight dechlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @72โ and turning her pot 1/4 turn once a day to get full light to all of her.
Her trichomes are getting riper by the day and I'm checking them more frequently now, being careful to check flowers that haven't been molested (which will cause the trichomes to turn amber) to get the most accurate picture of their maturity and to be able to harvest at the peak of their ripeness!
8/29- Well just past eight weeks from seed and my girl is going into her fade and finishing up... It won't be long now! ๐
Yesterday her watering consisted of 1g of diluted Compost Tea that started at 1200ppm and, after dilution 700ppm which was at 6.6ph.
I'll be checking trichomes today to better dial in when I'll put her in the dark for the 48-72hrs before she's hung to dry.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things are wrapping up and harvest is right around the corner. I can't wait, can you?...Stay lifted and be Blessed! ๐๐~
