Chemo by Federation?

Hey everybody! I have been growing "Chemo" by Federation for a few months now. The description said it was at one time the best choice for cancer patients. I thought it was going to be an indica plant, short and bushy with a body high. But instead it is really tall and thin. Its probably one of the biggest plants Ive ever grown.
Does anybody have any experience with this plant?
I went back to the website, hempdepot.ca, but they dont sell it anymore. Any help would be appreciated

Oh thank you. +rep
Thats what I wanted to hear. I was hoping it would be a very body relaxing type high. These are huge!!! I have 3 plants under a 400 watt hps, and I had to add 2 70 watt hps for side lighting!! This plant was a good choice, I cant wait to see what the smoke is like. I still have 8 weeks to go......

I have the chemo, I'm discontinuing, 'cause it lacks punch. smells like a roasted chestnut with a slight skunk...not very fuzzy under the microscope..it's a yesteryear strain, with fascinating genetics(tetraploidy). for me, I've never seen an easier cloner...great sleepweed! pain?- average...nothin' to write home about. growth...these babies could grow tall, but like being short. indoors, you can flower them untopped at 1', and have a mini xmas tree farm...when stressed(bigtime) they'll show budlets and leaflets in odd places, but WILL NOT hermaph(at least these ones). a great weed for someone who A) can't grow weed to save their life, and B) can't handle the upholstry glue going around now. it has breeding potential though for indoor people.

chemo's yesteryear...clones unbelievably easy...not up to standard as far as pain relief goes nowadays...does great indoors flowered untopped at 1'...looks like an xmas tree farm. good yield. fascinating genetics(tetraploid)- leaflets and budlets growing in odd places...mine would trip out like that instead of hermaphing under major stress. chemo has breeding potential, but cannot compete alone. it's also a mold magnet.

i grew it,2 phenoes a short squat one looks like a bonsia plant and the tall one.the tall one turned redish purple and finished quicker with the better taste and high,the shorter one was less a keeper,cloned poorly and was not vigorous after cloneing.

i never said it wasnt good,i kept one for breeding and was planning to keep 1 as a mother but it was stolen from outside.it can be very potent.

Oh yeah dude for sure, I dont intend to sound like I am unhappy with this strain. However, I did originally order it because I thought it would be a great pain killing strain. But a nice sativa would be great too!
It is definately a very tall plant, easy to grow, and it smells so wonderful.
I have about 10 seeds left, so I may breed them in the near future since it is a discontinued strain.I will hook you guys up with a smoke report in about 8 weeks.

the tall one is not sativa,it is an indica all the way,it is great for pain i have had more then a few back surgeries believe me,the taller one is still indica,i dont know why you think it is sativa.

If they are tall & leggy it seems like you stumbled upon a sativa pheno!
Hey Trapper, Thats why I thought it was a sativa.
Its all good if it is a sativa. These 3 plants I have going now are so beautiful and smell so good. The top cola is already 14 inches long!! Big buds forming all over.
Thanks for all your help

Yeah dude, sorry for the info. Just figured it was sativa dom because it was tall & lanky. No need to get bent out of shape about it, trapper. It's all good man. We're all only human. And last I knew, they still haven't found a perfect human yet.:-P

Also, trapper, if that is your grow room in your avatar, I am very impressed and jealous of a room like that. I can only grow 4 plants at a time!

my chemos are about a week out...they certainly do not lack meat! mine don't smell lemony at all, they smell 'fresh', with an overtone of skunk, and undertone of roasted chestnut...they have a real indoor friendly growth pattern....it's just too bad they lack firepower...I hate to ditch them(i have entirely too many breeds!), cause they definitely have some breeding potential for anyone willing to invest the time.

they give alot of meat to what ever you breed it too,i just cut down one that i crossed a chemo with a rhino.it will easly come in over 2 oz dry and that was put into flower 5 weeks from germination.the flavor is like blueberries.i croseed one with a real lemony jacks cleaner cant wait to see that mix.
