Stardawg Auto - Week by Week Grow Diary & Strain Review

Stardawg Auto was grown indoors by Jd1971, using genetics from WeedSeedsExpress.

The photographs follow a small seedling through a broad, leafy stage and into a plant carrying long flowers across multiple branches. The central cola stands above the rest, but the later pictures show substantial side flowers too. There is plenty to see beyond that main top.

Grow Setup

Grow Diary

Weeks 0-1 - Germination and the First Leaves

Jd1971 recorded germination directly in the substrate, with water only through week 1. 

The opening photographs show a labelled plastic pot and then a small shoot emerging above the surface. At this point, the seedling barely interrupts the expanse of growing medium around it.

By week 1, the stem is upright and the first serrated leaves have opened. Smaller leaves are visible around the centre, while the larger pair extends outwards. She is still a small plant in a mostly uncovered pot, but the leaf shape is clear now. 

Weeks 2-3 - A Wider Plant and More Leaf Coverage

The week 2 photograph shows the plant in a fabric pot. Several sets of leaves spread out from the centre, with smaller growth visible between them. Compared with the seedling photograph, there is considerably more foliage, although much of the medium remains exposed. 

By week 3, the leaves overlap across the container and extend beyond its rim. The larger fan leaves sit around the outside, while several smaller growing tips are visible closer to the centre. The plant has a layered canopy rather than a few isolated leaves. 

Week 2 lists Oldtimer Grow and Root Stimulant; week 3 also lists Magne-Cal +. 

Weeks 4-5 - A Broad Canopy and a Taller Outline

The week 4 overhead photograph is dominated by foliage. Long fan leaves overlap across the middle, and several separate growing tips are visible around the perimeter. The central shoot is prominent, but it is no longer the only obvious point of growth. 

Week 5 gives a different view of the structure. The main stem rises above the surrounding branches, with small flower clusters visible along the upper growth. Side branches reach upwards at different heights, leaving the plant with a staggered outline rather than an even, flat canopy. 

Jd1971’s notes mention weekly Evolution spraying and “tea.” A week 5 reply also acknowledges a “big stretch.” 

Weeks 6-7 - Flower Clusters Become More Prominent

In week 6, pale flower hairs stand out across the upper branches. Individual clusters are still separated by visible stretches of stem, with narrow leaves projecting between them. The flowers are easy to pick out, but they have not yet taken on the broader outline seen later in the diary. 

The week 7 photograph shows longer clusters along both the central stem and the side branches. Pale hairs give the flowers a bristling appearance, while the lower part of the plant still carries plenty of larger leaves. From this angle, the tallest flower extends beyond the top of the frame. 

The grower’s week 7 note reads: “Going a bit slow but nice.”

Weeks 8-9 - Fuller Flowers Across the Branches

The week 8 flowers have a fuller outline than the narrow clusters visible earlier. Along several upper branches, neighbouring sections appear more closely joined, although small leaves and projecting pale hairs remain clearly visible. 

Week 9 offers a clearer view of the whole plant. The central cola rises above several upright side flowers, with additional branches sitting lower and farther out. Flower size and height vary across the canopy. Some tops are broad and prominent; others remain smaller and more separated. 

The side branches are a substantial part of the picture by this stage. Looking only at the tallest top would miss much of the flower development visible elsewhere on the plant. 

Weeks 10-11 - Continued Flower Development

The week 10 photograph shows thick flower clusters along the established branches. The central flower has an uneven outline, with rounded sections beneath its tip. Several surrounding tops also carry broad clusters, and a branch on the right reaches outwards rather than standing vertically. 

Leaves still project from the flowers, but the upper plant is now dominated by bud rather than the broad fan leaves that filled the early photographs. 

There is no separate week 11 entry. 

Weeks 12-13 - Final Standing Photographs and Harvest

The week 12 photograph shows broad, irregular flower clusters along the main cola and surrounding branches. Fewer long, pale hairs stand clear of the main flower’s surface than in the earlier flowering pictures. Several lower leaves are yellow, while leaves higher on the plant remain green. 

Week 12 records the start of flushing with Flush Finish. Week 13 is the harvest entry.

The harvest photographs show cut branches resting on a scale, with stems and leaves still attached. Another image shows separated flowers collected in a cardboard box. Their shapes vary, from smaller rounded pieces to larger, elongated buds with an uneven, knobbly surface. 

Final Result

The recorded review tags are citrus and energetic. No detailed smoke report or drying and curing timeline is provided. 

The finished-flower photograph shows a mixture of bud sizes rather than uniformly shaped pieces. Small leaf tips remain visible around some flowers, and the larger pieces retain the irregular structure seen on the standing plant.
