I tried growing this plant pretty big and I definately did that but I could have positioned the branches a bit better.I do have about 16 or more tops like these so I'm real excited I've been taking her between 67 and 72 days.The room the plant is in has no floor, its a bathroom where the concrete was ripped out below so nothing but cold feet in here.Keeps the rez nice and cold.Any comments are certainly more than welcome, this is only my 3rd or 4th run with her so I'm still making her better.I should have some nice pics as she yellows out.:)

Not bad at all very controllable.The branches are stiff and generally strong enough to hold the wieght of the flowers.I vegged the plant in the pic to about a solid 3' under a 1000W MH and it topped out at 6' even.Those branches are the bottoms I can't reach high enough to catch a pic of the tops.There's another whole backside too lit up by a vert 600 hps.This winter the D and I are going to become very well aquainted.I know lots of you guys have grown her into the ground but I like to experiment and let things go mental!!:) I pollinated my current D that's about 28 days into 12/12 with some Nevilles haze pollen.So far pollination has taken place, should be some interseting results, I reckon somebody's done it before....

Currently trying to choose between Chem 91, Chem D, and the Chem 4 cut.

Just curious which of those are known to finish around 8 or 9 weeks? How's the typical yield in a hydro setup under 1000s?

Thanks,

Thanks,

chem 4 is very bomb. i took it about 8 and a half weeks and it was some fire. im running chemD and aliendawg(ether) right now. just finishing up some chem91. chem4 is my favorite chem by far.

That's right, I didn't write the article on OGK because there were too many conflicting stories about it, and too many folks to disappoint in writing the article. I'm surprised you know that? I must have said that somewhere. :) I didn't think I told anyone about that. You must be a real insider Grey! :)

In this whole Chem saga, I really want to know who bred the original stock... BEFORE Chemdog went to the Dead concert and discovered that someone had been hard at work breeding what he later named after himself. I want to know who did the actual work, what they used, and how long they worked it before the Dead concert. Actually, I don't need to know the WHO, just the how and how long... When it comes to the WHO of cannabis strains, I care very little. Khaleel the goat herder, in the third century may have been the first to cultivate what became Chem... or maybe Josephus the camel trader in 400 BC. :) But we don't smoke the who... we smoke the what. And to produce the whats, we need to know the hows. :) Unfortunately, we don't know the hows of the Chem story, the info that really counts is missing, possibly forever. But you have to figure... Someone worked a couple plants, selected, recombined, and came up with what is known as Chem today. I wonder if that was pure luck, or talent.

EnglishRick, do u have any pics of ur OG s1? Here's a pic of my SFV OG s1 (AKA OG #18 or Sour OG):

picture.php


Also, for anyone who's interested.......This was on another site (I'm sure some of u have read this & THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS):

"Once the 91 thread started blowing up, I spoke with a representative of the Chem Family who, in correlation with the same story I've always heard, re-stated that the origin of OG is 91 Chemdog (also known as Chem #1) back-crossed into itself. Now, I love Chem, but I have worked with every Chem cut and with real Chem seeds (according to the rules outlined by Proposition 215 and Amendment 420), and I have back-crossed the shit out of everything: Chem #1 back into #1, Chem #1 back into The Sister, back into Chem #4, back into Chem D, etc . . . I have also worked with tons of cuts of OGs both growing and producing, and although it might ruffle a few feathers here on WT, I have to say: OG IS NOT CHEM #1 BACK-CROSSED INTO ITSELF OR ANY OF THE OTHER CRAZY STORIES THAT I'VE HEARD ON THIS WEBSITE. I do believe that OG has now been crossed into Chem, which is why it can be such great medicine, but as a breeder, I cannot endorse a story that just can't be true.

What I recommend to any patient who questions the heritage of OG, is to try to find the original SFV OG cut (NOT THE SEEDS . . . THE ACTUAL, LANKY, STINKY, LOW-PRODUCING CUT). It was the first OG I worked with and it taught me the most. It stayed in my small room for a long time as other cuts came and went and when the "hoarded" cuts of Skunk came through, I knew I was close . . . those foul, stinky, I just butchered a pack of skunks with my F150 type of genetics . . . so, I took the SFV cut, Chem #1, a Skunk #1, an "MSS" (also called Skunk VA in some parts), and one of the newer, more popular OG cuts . . . and I took them all through the entire process together. The conclusion: the SFV, Skunk #1, MSS and OG cut all grew and produced similarly, though the SFV and OG produced less. The Chem #1 grew almost exactly like a Sativa phenotype. OG IS NOT CHEM . . . IT IS A PRODUCT OF AN INSANE SKUNK CROSS. The other strain is most likely one of the bomb breeder's cuts of Northern Lights or another bomb breeder's cut, since, really, OG was developed in America, probably in California or Florida, long before 1991 and held onto by a very small group of people (with no name).

This is obviously a very important matter, especially to those patients who need to know what genetics exist in their medicine. One thing I can say, is that, when we have patients, like my mother (and many other cancer survivors), who ask for that, "crazy Skunk from the 60s and 70s," I show them our top-shelf OGs, and they generally say, "That's the stuff." And when they medicate with it, they report that it's even better than "the good old days." I am an OG-Fiend, so I had to know where it came from, but I truly believe that, just like in The Search For Animal Chin, we should all just skate this amazing halfpipe together and agree that now that we have medicated with the OG, Animal Chin's spirit lives within all of us.

Have a wonderful week!

One love,
MEDI"


Peace

Awesome "search for animal chin" analogy..Grrrrreat post !!!

The snowdog always catches my attention (must be the name) in the chem-threads..not too much about it in forums, is it hoarded or just a nice sidekick to the chem-lines?

whadeezirg, pretty plant there :)

Can you describe it somehow? smell, taste, high, how would you rate it against straight chems? I'm just curious

I remember reading from elsewhere that chem himself had somekind of snowdog x chem d cross in the works.

What I agree with CC. The story is good and exciting but tells us nothing on its true origins all these years later.

Solid colas deezir, the garden looks to be in almost leaning tower mode, that's a great thing in my book and your plans look FAT.

Origins are tough, there might be an inkling into what the Chem is but I don't think anyone will get to know with definitiness.....or more likely someone will pop outta the wood work within a year and proclaim they bred Chem and a shit storm will ensue. My two pence.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this but if there were just 13 seeds in 3 zips he bought it is highly likely and I would venture to say probable that the seeds were s1 from something that hermied. I doubt it was a real males pollen or there would be more than 13 seeds.

At 500 an ounce I would be fairly certain males were not around the area that bud was grown.
