Stardawg Auto by FastBuds · Award-Winning Hybrid with 22% THC · Pine & Diesel Aroma

Stardawg Auto by FastBuds is a robust, high-THC autoflowering hybrid that delivers a balanced experience, dense resin-coated buds, and a bold pine-diesel aroma — perfect for those who want power, flavor, and ease in one plant.

Struggling to find a strain that’s strong, flavorful, and beginner-friendly?

Most high-THC strains demand expert care, intense setups, or come with harsh effects that overwhelm casual users. Others lack the depth of flavor or resin production that connoisseurs crave. And if you're just starting out, the learning curve can kill your confidence before you even harvest.

Why settling for less when your grow deserves more?

You end up with weak yields, airy buds, or plants that collapse under stress. You waste time, money, and space on genetics that promise big but deliver small. Or worse — you grow something so potent it knocks you out before you can enjoy it. The frustration builds when your efforts don’t match the results.

Stardawg Auto delivers the full package — no compromises

This is the strain that balances power with grace. With up to 22% THC, a rich pine-diesel-earthy taste, and fat, frosty buds, Stardawg Auto gives you top-shelf quality without the grower anxiety. It’s forgiving of mistakes, adapts to training, and produces up to 550 g/m² indoors — making it a favorite among both new and seasoned cultivators.

What it’s like to grow Stardawg Auto solo

When it’s just you and the plant, Stardawg Auto feels like a trusted partner. It grows steadily without surprises, reaching 0.70–1.20 m (2.30–3.94 ft), with a strong main cola and solid branching. You don’t need advanced skills — just consistent light (18–20 h/day), clean water, and a 20L pot to let it shine. It handles minor pH swings and recovers from overwatering better than most autos. Perfect for a low-stress, high-reward solo grow.

What changes when you share the grow

Bring in a friend or fellow grower, and Stardawg Auto becomes a conversation piece. Its pungent aroma — loud enough to need a SMC Spidermite Control carbon filter — sparks curiosity. The dense, trichome-heavy buds invite inspection, and the balanced high (relaxed yet clear-headed) makes it a great social smoke. Whether you’re splitting a harvest or showing off your first successful auto, this strain builds camaraderie.

How to grow Stardawg Auto successfully

Get the most out of this strain with a simple, effective approach tailored to its autoflowering nature.

Quick overview: FastBuds' Stardawg Auto is a low-maintenance hybrid ideal for beginners and experts alike. Grows in 9–10 weeks, reaches up to 1.20 m (3.94 ft), and thrives in soil or coco with minimal intervention.

Safe start: Germinate seeds in moist paper towels or directly in final pot. Keep warm (22–25 °C) and humid (60–70% RH).

• Use a 20L pot from the start to avoid transplant shock
• Choose well-aerated soil or coco for strong roots
• Keep pH 6.0–6.5 (soil) or 5.8–6.2 (coco)
• Water lightly until roots establish
• StartBooster Aptus boosts early root development

Stable seedling: First true leaves appear in 3–7 days. Focus on root health and steady growth.

• Maintain 18–20 hours of light daily
• Water when top inch of soil feels dry
• Avoid nitrogen-heavy feeds early
• Use mild organic teas for gentle nutrition
• Protect from pests with clean setup

Directed growth: Plant stretches in pre-flower. Support and train wisely.

• Apply LST to spread canopy and improve light access
• Top only if experienced — autos recover slowly
• Ensure good airflow to prevent mold
• Feed with balanced veg nutrients
• Monitor for signs of stress or deficiency

Efficient flowering: Buds form fast. Maximize resin and density in final weeks.

• Switch to bloom nutrients at first pistils
• Reduce RH to 40–50% to avoid bud rot
• Add PK boosters like Monster PK 58/60 at peak flowering
• Watch trichomes: harvest when milky to slightly amber
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest

Harvest and refinement: Cure for flavor and smoothness.

• Cut whole plant or branches when ready
• Dry at 18–22 °C and 50–60% RH for 7–10 days

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I grow Stardawg Auto outdoors in a colder climate?

Yes, but best in moderate to warm climates. It tolerates some cold but thrives above 17°C. In cooler zones, use a greenhouse or grow indoors with supplemental heat.

How do I manage the strong smell during flowering?

Use a carbon filter like SMC Spidermite Control and ensure good ventilation. Seal your grow space if needed to maintain discretion.

Is this strain good for beginners?

Absolutely. It’s forgiving of common mistakes like overwatering or minor nutrient imbalances. Just avoid aggressive pruning and stick to a simple feeding schedule.

What’s the best way to share a harvest fairly?

Trim and dry buds together, then divide by weight. Use a digital scale for accuracy. Or save large colas for yourself and share smaller buds socially.

Does Stardawg Auto need a lot of nutrients?

No — it prefers moderate feeding. Overfeeding can cause deficiencies. Use 60–70% of standard nutrient strength, especially in coco or hydro setups.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Stardawg Auto in my personal 1.2 x 1.2 m tent with a 600W LED. Planted three seeds in 20L pots using Plagron Royal Mix. From day one, it stood out — strong stem, wide internodes, and a smell so loud I had to upgrade my carbon filter. I used LST on two plants, gently bending the main cola. No topping — I’ve learned autos don’t forgive heavy stress. By week 8, the trichomes were milky with a hint of amber. I flushed for 10 days, dried slowly, and cured for three weeks. The high? Perfect balance — creative at first, then deeply relaxed. I shared a jar with friends after a long session; everyone agreed it was one of the smoothest, most flavorful autos we’ve tried. If you want power without punishment, this is your strain.
