C99 - Chemdog using Useless formula for cheap grows.

Wow this same cut of Chemdog on the Dynagro receipe I seem to always go back too... is so much easier and different acting. This PIG is sucking more then I have ever given a plant, near 2.0EC and asking FOR MORE daily by the light green tops. It's crazy, but I am just sold on DynaGro for me on ease of use, noob proof and the one most of you will love COST. It's cheap.. but not cheaply made. Something that has been long gone in America and many other aspects of life...

Here are the pics. This is like end of week 2 in FLOWER and they have nearly outpaced the other GH formula on a 2:1 ratio... with nothing but FEED ME MORE deficiencies. I seem to get very tip burn's when I am not feeding enough and giving them that Mg they want sooo bad. You see the GH chemdog in the back of my test flower room, it's already taller then that in a 3.5 gallon and the GH is in 5gallon!! They are not done yet! Sick.



Each one of those maybe 18-20 scrogged cola's are about 3 feet tall or tad more. It's still in a 3.5 gallon bucket that needs to be 5 gallons right now.. I guess.. as it sucks almost 1 gallon a day at the moment so young. A typical scrog plant like this strain is probably like a 3:1 or more yield from a non-scrogged plant.

Maybe next update I might show her sexy under pubis region!!! It's fantastic.

I will be trying dyna gro after my GH supply runs out. That is if the osmocote plus hempy doesn't win me over.

Right on brother.. keep me informed on that perlite. I have two in perlite and DG in HEMPY right now trying to make things work close to the results in DWC.

I just started using dyna gro and it is so easy to use this far the plants love it. Even picked up some Magpro like you advised. Can't wait to see my plants become monsters like yours!

And how did C99 yeild for you?

i never got around to asking what seeds you picked up if you care to share

I get about 5-6oz dry from my last few c99s but I think this strain can be pushed harder.. I am at 3.2EC (1600ppm) and they are eating it up.. and it is getting bigger then the previous.

Not sure if your asking the c99 seeded from that is Greenhouse I beleve..

I did get a package from SingeSeedCenter with the following:

Blue Cheese
BrainStorm
Blue Mystic
Grapefruit Kush
Sharkbreath
Purple Paralyzer

and few other tasty ones I cant think of right now.

Sounds good, you got some good times ahead of you!

Where did you get your rev osmosis filer from again?

I have the 150GPD I am probably gonna pick up the 400GPD someday when my filters need replaced in this one

Do you have any pictures of your setup? I'm trying to figure out this whole perpetual setup and it sounds like you have a good system working for you.

if possible I'd like to see if I can duplicate what you've got going.

thanks

Hey Johnny... No pics of my whole setup. I just stagger my flowering plants few weeks behind each other, that means keeping clones, veg areas ready usually when I harvest one plant another is coming few weeks behind. Sometimes little more sometimes little less, it's not automatic for sure.

I never have 50oz harvests like most guys, but I get 8-10oz every two-three weeks to make up for it and not have to wait months for harvests. This way I can have different strains more often or try different methods, techniques etc. it's more of a hobby then a miniature drug cartel like most crappy growers strive to be. I want the best I can grow, not the most I can grow.

Peace...

I just harvested that GH chemdog and looking close to 7ozs dry so not too bad. It did have one issues with mg but was corrected and looked great at the end, but the dyna plant is crushing it in size and bud structure. I'll post pics of buds after Xmas...

Green Christmas everyone

The chemdog is awesome. I just finished my 1st run in a rwdc scrog setup . I ran dynagro 7-9-5 alway thru with the exception of a little Technaflora bloom that i had and used up. I ran my ppm in the 550 range. I ended up with 19oz and some change out of 4 plants .I had 3 green pythons and 1 chemdog. The chemdog produced just shy of 9oz dry.
I got 2 rooms set up now with all chemdog going . Im going to pretty much do the same as last run but Im going to up my ppms a little in one of the rooms. Anyway just wanted to tell ya about my expierience with chemdog. Also thanks for all your post . Ive read a lot and learned a lot from a few of you guys on here.

After these ionic bottles are done i'm making the switch.

Trying to do a 3-1-2 veg and 1-3-2 flower.

Foliage pro and bloom match those, but once the magpro (2-15-4) and protekt (0-0-3) is added how do you correct that ratio or do you not worry because they're at such lower levels in comparison to the base nute?

I know you went over this in your DWC journal, but it looks like you've changed your recipe.

guide me on this, let me know if I'm right in my thinking.

you use 2x2 scrogs and just fill in when you harvest every 2-3 weeks.

I think you said you have 2 600 watt HPS for flower (are they side by side? how many 2x2 scogs do you get under each light?)

If I could pull 6-9 oz every 2-3 weeks I'd be a happy camper!

Do you use tents or just an open room? Any other help on flower room setup would be much appreciated. I'm in need of getting a regular "flow" going.

Thanks again

Excellent grow! I'm growing a CD now along with two AK Autos and the ChemDog is a monster! Like you I've found the CD is growing crazy big for indoor DWC, my branches are all over 3 feet long and she looks to be a big yielder when the time comes. I use Botanicare Pro nutes and found that the CD wanted a little extra Cal/Mag than other strains. The ChemDog seems to be a fairly easy plant to grow, I've seen no issues other than it needing a bit more calmag than normal. I'm into the 3rd week of flower and she's taking 1200ppm with no problems, I'm growing her in a 48 Qt. marine cooler and she's sucking down the water/nutes, adding about 3 gallons every other day.

I can only hope I get close to that 9 ounce yield you got off yours. Congrats on another fine grow!

Yes my plants are following each other into my flower room on a two-three week basis... so if I put a plant into flower say today, in two weeks I have another flowering plant ready to go. Sometimes little less, sometimes little more and sometimes I have to hold off if my flower room is waiting on a longer strain or something else. It's not exact but 2-3 weeks is pretty much constant now.

My 600s in this flower room, which I have (2) flower rooms one for testing plants or one offs, and another that has 6 plants going of any given strain I want to run under each light. I try to get (6) plants under my 600s these OG hoods have a great light pattern with no hole for reflector.

XXX XXX
XXX XXX is my pattern in this room with the two 600s in the middle of both groups of 6. The over lapping from the two lights helps disperse the light in the middle. I do have some big ass CFLs on the ends just for my benefit but they don't do much I think. The OG hoods are killer.

The 8-9oz plants dry weight are some hefty plants and I "try" not to get them that big, it's more like 6-7dry weight I like to hit, as then the light pattern is not inhibited by big monsters like this last chemdog, this one might break 10oz the way its going. I love the chem as it is a producer of high quality stoned smoke, its not your fruity sissy smoke its an old school hard hitter that tastes great and has heavy stone (high CBD). Most other strains are in the 4-6oz max range.

I built all my rooms with 2x4s and MDFB/Pandafilm etc... you could do it with tents though. I wanted my rooms to have real doors, locks and look like ordinary rooms.

The biggest thing is ROOM, to have a set up like this you really need different staging rooms or tents etc.. I tried it with one little room, and it was more work then what I got out of it. I mean every time I build up/out on my rooms, I seem like "oh that's way more then I need" then I am building or adding something else. My wife gets mad, but I show her that the end result is well worth it in time, money and effort. As long as it looks clean, organized and not like a "grow" area it's all good. I am pretty anal about keeping stuff organized, and neat so that's never an issue though.

thanks for the description and help. I have two rooms (smaller one for veg, larger for flower)

I'm thinking the 2x2 scrog frames would make it a bit easier and give me more variety so that might help a good bit. and if you can pull 6-7 oz's per 2x2 that takes care of my needs.

Keep me posted and let me know when you feel like releasing some chemdog clones, I'd be interested in trying my hand with that strain.

Before SCROG I was getting 3-4oz dry with SCROG that doubles pretty much and I am really not utilizing my SCROG the way it should...

Ya I am going to start getting some clones from Chemdog ready.. maybe 20 or so for donations. I have ran it for about 1.5 years now... will run it but not as much anymore.

cool, let me know when you have some clones ready. Have you found a good light height? That's something else I've been trying to figure out. Most people say it is strain dependant but since I have several strains I've been trying to figure out a good height to keep the light above the canapy.

Thanks again, I'm full of questions

Another great thread BBC.

My lights are full height of my ceiling in flower room. Never do I adjust them, the strains will stretch different, but I don't think its because of the light unless its not strong enough. Thats what is nice about a SCROG if one branch or a few are going nuts tuck em back or string em through the SCROG, I dunno what I would do with some strains if I couldn't control them with the SCROG. My OG 600s are suppose to be a tad higher which I would like to give me a better light footprint but it works good the way I have them.
