excellent grow! Man I love the Chem Dawg, I've smoked some before and it's always been good. I've wanted to do a grow on some CD for a while now and I'm on my way as well. I've got a single ChemDawg Female I got from the SSC along with an assortment of others for testing.
Anyway, I've got a Chem Dawg and the AK Autos that sprouted on Halloween, so they're under two months. I'm also growing two AK-47 Autos in the same cooler. (I use marine 48-qt. coolers with RDWC).
The two little autos are looking great, buds are frosty and looks like about 3 more weeks for them to finish. They are both about 20" tall and nearly that wide with several side branches nearly as tall as the main branch. I should get a few ounces off each AK.
The Chem Dawg is just blowing my mind. I've grown a lot of different strains and have yet to find one as prolific as this little bitch!
The CD was two foot tall in less than 6 weeks. I started to flower her on the 10th of Dec. I let her veg for 40 days and 40 nights on purpose (Took some nice clones from her). Once she got the signal to flower she started stretching and man has she stretched....
From Dec 10. she's grown from 24" to 54" as of this morning, that's 30 vertical inches in 16 days. I haven't topped her on purpose, this is one of those unusual phenotypes that just bush out by themselves. I have 8-10 huge side branches that are just about as big as the main stalk. It's really weird, never had a plant grow like this on has. I know most people prefer to grow a bunch of smaller plants but I've wanted to see what kind of colas I can get with this thing growing like it is. It reminds me of those northern cali sativas grown in the sun. The branches are huge for an indoor grow. I've got a 400w HPS with glass, I had to lift it every other day it seemed, now I've removed the rachets because the plant is so tall now so I've got my HPS S hooked into the eye bolts in the top of my tent. I'm sure they will still grow some more height but I'm out of room so they are getting a trellis net over them probably tomorrow or the next day
I've got several decent 2700k cfls with reflectors aimed around the tent keeps the girls lit well on all sides. I'm hoping all those long branches will fill in with some decent colas as she getting down to business. She's only a few weeks into flowering and flowers are everywhere, all the branches have branches, one side branch has about 18 sub branches so there should be a great yield off her.
I can't wait to get some in jars, ought to be some sweet smoke. Keep us up to date on your grow, I'll be keeping an eye out on it anticipating.....
