Chemdog D flush HARD!!! :)

[UBER21]

Crazy C thanks for taking the time man to write these articles in the HT mag....im not a big fan of the mag itself but everytime a fellow member like urself publishes a very detailed and informative story on elite strains im there to support....FFA and now the chem d im off to get this issue too.....just one question whats the difference if there is any between the bx chem d and the clone? Im assuming the cut doesnt have the hermi problem that some of the seeds get??.....anyway bigups to ya man....peace

 

[Crazy Composer]

thanks for answering all the questions CC.....your a star....even with noobs

id love to know if chemd beats og for taste???....

The tastes are different, so hard to say one's better than the other. I guess it depends on what mood you're in.

This cut is nothing short of amazing. i have done 1 run with her, and cannot wait to get my mom up to size so i can take cuts and run her again. i grew a small plant this time around, only got an oz. but it is PRIZED stash. although CC, i really wish you hadnt brought up the description of her in HT, cuz now i think about that everytime i smell or smoke her!!!!!!(doesnt stop me though!)
----EDIT: BELIEVE THE HYPE! THIS IS WORLD CLASS

Ha!!! You smell it too! hehehe Like flossing a tight space between your teeth... that terrible smell. YIKES! But it turns out to be a good tasting smoke. Go figure! hehehe

Gorgeous pics of the most worthy Chem out there CComposer
Definitely looks like an easy postharvest on her - how's the smell, more putrid funky skunky chem or something more soothingly sweet? What a p.i.t.a. about the droopy tops haha but worth the pain in the end I'm certain
subrob - haha I am with you about the hype being for real, if you and all the most greenthumb growers here are claiming it top shelf it's gotta be top shelf! If only I had room and time to run all these great things out there, I would! Enjoy the D, both ya guys - thanks also for the tips on growing her, future reference material...

Check the last response I gave to subrob... it's NOT soothingly ANYTHING! hahaha!

I've read that article 3 times CC and its a great one .

Cool! I was just stoked to be in the Cheech and Chong reunion issue! hehehe

The bastards should pay me more!!! I'm helping them sell mags now, and here's proof! It's bonafide!!! hehehe But seriously, I'm VERY happy to be the one doing the write-ups. I'm a lucky SOB.

On the bx VS. the clone... I'm not really sure which of the Reservoir crosses of CDD was getting the hermies... I've seen some of the CDD crosses Rez did come out almost exactly like the clone. But I can't remember which one... I think it was the CDD x Hindu Kush that rocked so hard. Not sure though. Some of his CDD work has been absolutely steller IMO.

Here's the last 2 pics I have of her in the raw. Glad you all popped by to enjoy her with me.

Peace, good will,
cc

P.S. There might be an original OGKush thread up sometime tonight.

 

[UBER21]

hehehe they should pay u more......lol....yeah just got done reading the article....she looks stellar....I think chaco ran the seed form of chem dd and it smoked and looked killer too.....so rez's seed version even though now and then a nanner shows up in my opinion its still deff worth to keep....smoked some chem 4 last nite that a friend of mine had given me and it sure was tasty....great job buddy....

Stellar job CC..indeed it takes experience and intuition to know how to administer ferts and flush like you..much respect. And thanks for another great thread..always a pleasure to read your posts.
About the syrup...I take it that its used instead of molasses....how is it working for ya compared to molasses. Its not easy to procure blackstrap molasses where im at, so maple syrup would be a nice alternative.

Stay Safe

 

[cocktail frank]

great job CC!
perfect flush at harvest.
bet thats gonna burn smooth as hell
it's good to see growers who dont have full green fans at harvest time.
burn one for me

 

[Babbabud]

Very nicely done . Thanks for sharing with us !
curious how many days 12/12 you run her?

Well, GDK, it's probably the case that any plant-derived sugar will have pretty much the same effect on these plants. They provide a major energy boost. For example... when I stopped feeding this lady and began giving syrup... she yellowed in just a few days, and was losing leaves in no time, too. This tells me that the syrup boosted the plant's metabolism, helping it to eat up the nutrients already had in it's system.

The reason I use maple syrup is because I like the idea that it comes from a tree that stores the sugars to make it through the rough winter months and the spring resurgence. if the maple tree thinks it's a good source of plant energy, so do I. Besides, I like to taste the syrup when I'm dosing them. A treat for the garden as well as the gardener. hehehe

Thank you, sir. I run her between 63 and 70 days. If the flush takes hold really early, it will be on the earlier side, if it needs more time, I'll let her go out toward 70. The lass in this thread is still in the flower room, finishing up as I type.

Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts.

Great job with her CC

 

[happyherb]

yes...nicely finished ....

i had the question in mind about the M syrp.....what you said makes sence to me atleased ...i'll have to give it a go.HH. =]-~

 

[mariman]

Looks like its gonna be white ashes for you, chem d. By the way CC, do you ever vape?

Also was wondering at what height did you flower her?

Looking good as always

Hey mistah!

No, I don't vape... I've never had a truly awe inspiring adventure while vaping, and I've tried many times. My tolerance is realy high after all these years of non-stop smoking of fine cannabis... I think I might need the whole burn to get me where I like to be.

I flowered this lady at around 20" +/-.

heh, I think your CB1 and CB2 receptors have been down regulated at the transcriptional level.

Well, you got me thinking about this and in several seconds (praise the google) I found this Abstract which explains some cool stuff about the process. I wondered about the actual absorbtion into the plant, this research shows 10% uptake in maize. In soil obiously there would be a major effect on the microbes in the rhizosphere s well.

It also occured to me that maple syrup contains amino acids and various ions and what not, so there would be some uptake there as well.

Abstract
The flow of carbon from roots into the rhizosphere represents a significant C loss from plants. However, roots have the capacity to recapture low molecular weight C from soil although this is in direct competition with soil microorganisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the behaviour of glucose in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil, the plant's potential to recapture sugars from soil and translocation and utilization of the recaptured sugars. In microcosms containing maize plants we injected 14C-glucose into the rhizosphere and followed its uptake into plants, upward and downward transport in the plant and soil, evolution as 14CO2 and incorporation into the soil microbial biomass. These fluxes were compared with non-rhizosphere soil. Glucose was rapidly mineralized in soil and the rate of turnover was significantly greater in the rhizosphere in comparison to non-rhizosphere soil. The amount of glucose captured by the maize plants was low (<10% of the total 14C-glucose added) in comparison to that captured by the soil microbial biomass. Only small amounts of the 14C-glucose were transported to the shoot (0.6% of the total). The degree of glucose capture by maize roots whilst in competition with soil microorganisms was similar to similar experiments performed for amino acids. We conclude that while plant roots can recapture low molecular weight C from the rhizosphere, intense competition from soil microorganisms may reduce the efficiency of this process.

That's interesting. I didn't know about all that, all I knew was... when I add a little maple syrup, the plants react almost immediately. The smells intensify, the buds swell, and the flushing process speeds up.

When you buy cut flowers, like roses, they usually come with a small packet of glucose to add to the water. This glucose provides energy to the flowers while they have no access to nutrients via their root system. A rose in this glucose solution will last MUCH longer than a rose in nothing but water. It was this cut flower example that made me think carbs were a good idea during the flush. The sweetening of the resin smell isn't because you're adding sugars, it's because the plant is given the energy it needs to continue producing terpines.

Read the article CC, cool stuff. Sounds like everyone that has grown the Chems argee with you. Its all DANK!

Hey CC, lookin' very nice there. I just have a few questions for you about this strain (Chemdog). Hope ya don't mind.
How much does it stretch?
is it a heavy feeder ?
Does it need as much odor control as the Sour D's?
Thanks Man , Peace and lots -n- lots of GANJA!

Hi CC,
very nice job with the flush man, looks perfectly done , it's something i've never really got the hang of so far, i usually use Ferts (Bio Bizz) up until the last 2 weeks or so of the flowering cycle, then just plain water till the end, i think i need to do a bit of reading on proper flushing techniques, when your flushing do you flush each watering until the run off water is clear?

Hindu Killer, dank is absolutely right.

Chemdog D tends to double its height in 12/12, which is better than Sour Diesel or OG Kush, which tend to triple in height.

As for odor control... yes, they stink. Believe it! hehehe

Heya Haze,
The most important aspect of flushing is... never feeding more than the plant needs. It's hard for me to explain my feeding technique to people because there's no set schedule I follow (I know you asked about flushing... stick with me here). I refer to my feeding technique as "chasing nitrogen". I feed when my plants start to look like they can use it, when the leaf stems start to purple up, the leaves look like they might start yellowing if I don't feed them.

Flushing is easy if you have never fed more than the plant could use. The trick is to learn what amounts work for your garden... every garden will require different amounts, based on light intensity, light efficiency (how well the light is blocked in with the plants), heat, humidity, etc. Once you know how much (or how little) to feed them to achieve the bare minimum nutrient needs of the plants... you are well on your way to a perfect flush.

At flushing time, a plant having been fed the bare bones minimum, will flush very quickly. A plant having been fed more than it needed, however, may NEVER be thoroughly flushable.

You ask:

when your flushing do you flush each watering until the run off water is clear?

... Yes. Anything that clouds the water is likely going to also get into the plant's "blood stream", and you don't want anything but water in there, if you can help it.

Hiya CC. Great job with the dog. Yup, she does stink but to a pothead it is a great stink, lol. The stank got me popped last summer so it is a good idea to have odor control for sure. To me it smelled like heaven but to the cops not so much, lol. It's all good though, all my legal problems are behind me and I can move on and do what I love.
