~ 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:
8/30- Eight weeks of growth and Four weeks of flower in the rear view mirror and we're in the 'Home Stretch'!
I'm continuing to water daily with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @74℉ and also I'm turning her pot 1/4 turn daily as well.
Her trichomes are maturing and I'm checking them daily. I anticipate later in the week it will be time for her to go 'dark' for 48-72 hours to finish her out before she's chopped and hung.
9/1- We are getting closer by the day. I checked her trichomes this morning and they are at about 75-80% milky with the remainder still being clear. I'll continue to check them daily, waiting until she's at 95% milky with the remaining trichomes amber, which will let me know it's time for her to go 'dark' for 2-3 days (still getting watered daily... they don't stop growing in the dark!) before I harvest this beautiful cultivar! 😍💚
I'm continuing to water daily with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @74℉ and also I'm turning her pot 1/4 turn daily as well.
9/3- Nine weeks in now and all I'm waiting for is her trichomes to fully ripen and then it's harvest time baby!
Daily routine now only consists of, water - check trichomes - turn pot 1/4 turn... easy! Watering is with the usual 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 and I've lowered the temperature of it to 70℉.
Her trichomes are 80% translucent, 10% milky and the remainder clear. As soon as I see 90+% milky with no clear trichomes it's GO time! 🤩👍🏼
9/5- We're 65 days in now and on Day 35 of flower. Harvest is any day now as all I'm waiting for is those trichomes to hit their peak...and they are CLOSE!
I'm watering now at 0.5g a day of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @70℉. I'm running it a bit cooler and slightly more alkaline than usual as, from past experience, it will help to bring out the colors in the flowers.
Stay tuned... Harvest will be here soon and we'll get to see how she finished up! Excited?... I know I am! 🤩
~Thanks for stopping in! Things are wrapping up and harvest is right around the corner....Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~
