Growing the perfect Chemdawg plants takes a bit of effort and knowledge. But, if done right, you can be rewarded with a high-quality harvest that will provide a long-lasting, enjoyable experience.
To garner this type of award-winning outcome, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to ideal growing conditions. Chemdawg is a hybrid strain that is a cross of Chemdog and OG Kush. With that in mind, you need to provide the right soil and nutrients to keep the plants healthy and productive.
Starting with soil, it’s important to use a mix that is airy and drains well. Providing a nutrient-rich soil will be rewarding in the end, however, start slow. Too much of anything at first can be overwhelming and cause undesired results in your plants.
With any growing, it’s important to remember that all plants need adequate light, CO2, temperature and humidity. Chemdawg is no different and with light, typically, using fluorescent lamps of 150 watts will help grow these plants to the fullest. Adding some sunlight is beneficial, too. But, because Chemdawg grows rather tall, an additional light source may be needed to reach all areas of the plant.
When it comes to controlling the temperature, Chemdawg plants can thrive in a controlled environment between 70 to 80°F (21-27°C) during the day and cooler temperatures at night. This strain also requires a generally high humidity, so remember to keep your plants moist but not overly wet.
With all of this taken care of, it’s important to add the right nutrients to your Chemdawg soil. Using a balanced nutrient mix of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium will help your plants grow to their fullest potential. To maximize the flavor and aroma of your plants, additional nutrients such as magnesium and calcium can give an extra boost. However, be sure to use these sparingly as too much can cause an undesirable result.
Finally, this strain is prone to some common issues such as spider mites, aphids, and powdery mildew. Keeping the soil moist and providing adequate airflow around your plants can help to lessen these issues and keep your plants healthy. If a problem does occur, remember to use organic treatments and not rely on chemical treatments which can do more harm than good.
In conclusion, with the right conditions and care, Chemdawg can be a rewarding strain to grow. Providing the plants with the right soil, nutrients, light, temperature and humidity, with a touch of extra nutrients, can help your plants reach their full potential. Don’t forget to pay close attention to your plants for any signs of common issues and treat them promptly with organically based treatments. With a little bit of practice, you can enjoy the high-quality, flavorful harvest of Chemdawg.
