The Chem family

Dont think theres ever been a definitive answer to the Mosaic trait. The cut of the Chem D I have now is defo the real one the same as Azads and Mack 10's but never shows any of the mosaic trait. I had another cut of the Chem D a few years ago along with the Chems Sister and the CC sour diesel and they all had the mosaic trait so it appears it can come and go. Another IC mag member Herbiliser had the same strains and reckons it spread to all his Chem/ Sour Diesel Strains from not using a sterile blade whilst taking cuttings. Glad to say though got no Mosaic traits now and agree the Chem D is my favourite bedtime smoke.

if you pump enough calmag into them the mosaic disappears. but will reappear depending on your feeding regiment. in soil it is always there.

Cool idea from GH. Video grow reports hehe. Thanks for the link :tiphat:
Click to expand...

A grow report for a clone? I want growreports from his gear not his cuts, I will asure if they do the same for his beans they got to grow seriously.
and trimming with hands? hahahaha they are not serious.

I was told from someone who does not post online that chemdog himself told them the D got the mosaic trait from him chainsmoking cigs around his plants. This is straight from the horse's mouth.

Believe what you want, I've got zero proof but personally I do believe this over what I've heard many a random internet handle say...

Whatever it is, mag will make it better for the most part.

I have the real chem d, it has the birthmark. I have mosaic test kits and will perform one soon for shits and giggles. I have a bogglegum mother that has a birthmark wayyyy worse then the Chem D, to the point some buds are two faced, one side yellow one side green. I have some in flower now I will get some pics up it is wild. Only happens here and there not every bud or nothing. Everything I have suspected or tested was negative and simply just genetics. No big deal, it has a birthmark, which is cool it helps us recognize the real deal. I think we still have yet to see a real case of mosaic virus. The test kits are cheap, if everyone tested before reacting that would be nice.

If the guy has never seen the mosaic trait on his cut then it's a different one. Not saying it can't be brought out of it through proper nutrition.

there is a chance the original cut from mass has no mosiac trait. It could have bee aquired later on as the clone was passed down. I will have a set that came from mass and mailed to cali soon. a original set of 91,d,headband and sour.

altough nspecta may disagree

I personally think that Mosaic type trait is the result of not keeping her fed properly in the first place...I've seen it in many chem D dominant offspring as well when they are not fed properly - sometimes even worse than the mother cut. Just gotta learn how to feed her.

I don't think it's actually TMV.

I have a chem sis x nevilles and it's got the hook leaf odd yellowing going on. From what I have read, TMV transmission thru seed has never been proven.


Also, TMV is said to be spread mechanically, by farm workers hands, tools, processing equipment, infected soil, plant eating bugs or contact with any kind of tobacco products. If it was truly TMV it would easily spread to other plants in the garden.

No...it's certainly NOT TMV - that much was established and determined a long time ago - via many lab tests - the cuts always came back as clean...no truly documented cases of TMV in cannabis. I think what was being said, that the cut "looks" to have some sort of disease...

But truly, I know from first had experience, it is just deficiencies...

You mean deficiencies on one side of the leaf, but not the other? :biggrin: Sorry Man, I just had to Blurt that one. I have seen that before, even with high nute schedules. Havnt seen it lately. I dont think the Headband gets it, and havnt see it in Gorilla yet either.Its always a Dawg family member though

Not sure Dr. - But I know when I let the chems get low on Mg specifically - they get an odd def. that makes the leaves looked blotchy almost neon yellowish coloring - I know that it is specifically Mg that makes the biggest difference too in how they appear, not exactly Ca / Mg, but like I said, specifically Mg.

I know how a traditional Mg def looks on most cannabis plants as well, I just think that for whatever reason, on the Chem lines it tends to show/express itself a bit differently - and to be more precise, the Chem D and those lines bred from her.

I know it isn't exactly the best for the micro herds in the fully organic substrates, but 1/4 tbsp of epsom dissolved into a cup of hot water, then mixed into a gallon of water. This given for three consecutive days at the first signs of such behavior prevents it and keeps her green like any other plant...
