~ 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:
9/6- Day 37 of flower and harvest time is fast approaching with her trichomes, which are now checked daily, maturing rapidly being 80% milky now with the remaining being clear.
Daily watering's continue with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @74β and also I'm turning her pot 1/4 turn daily as well.
9/8- Well, her trichomes are right about where I like them to be and she's ready for 48hrs. in the dark before I chop and hang her to dry for 10-12 days.
I'm watering her with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @74β and will continue to water her while she's in the dark (cannabis continues to carry on with it's growth processes even while in the dark) so that her medium doesn't completely dry out. Keeping her watered will also help to extend her drying time to that ideal 10-12 day target.
This should be some epic smoke as her buds are absolutely crystalized with trichomes and her smell is AMAZING! ππ
9/10- Well she's been in the dark for 24hrs. now with 24 more to go. I'm keeping temperatures in the low to mid 60'sβ and the RH @ 45%. Tomorrow is 'Chop Day'! I'll be taking some pic's of her when she comes out of the dark and during harvest...Stay tuned, this is some π₯!
I am continuing to water while she's in the dark with 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @67β to keep her hydrated.
9/12- Well she's out of the dark where she spent roughly 60 hours. I kept the temp's @ 64β and the RH at 45%.
After I brought her out I shot a few pictures of her, then plucked off all of the shade leaves. I then cut her off at her base and hung her whole. I'll keep the RH in the room @ 50% for the first 24hrs., then raise it to 55-60% for the remainder of the drying. I have the temperatures in the Dry Room at a constant 65β to help preserve the terpenes.
Hopefully she'll take 10-12 days to dry to the point that she's ready to be trimmed and jarred! Stay tuned for the harvest of this phenomenal cultivar! ππ₯
~Thanks for stopping in! Things are wrapping up and harvest is right around the corner....Stay lifted and be Blessed! ππ~
