This is Silverchem, I got them as a freebie and am very glad I did. I had wanted to try Chem/OG genetics and had searched out skunk va but I hesitated based on price as I’m in Canada and the exchange rate makes some seed purchases obviously luxury spending. However these are the most unique genetics I’ve grown other than landrace type stuff and they just exude a certain kind of power, the essence of good genetics. I’d like to support the breeder and give him some big ups.
I’m giving them a shot outside and actually they are doing pretty well. I’m on the west coast so pm/rain can be a dice roll but I love the outdoor vibes and we have had a pretty good end of summer here, slow to start.
These pictures are of #2. I started three seeds but unfortunately dropped the 3rd or my dog knocked it over I can’t remember. Tragic loss at the time. I’ve taught myself to clone using the #1 and vowed to keep it around to teach myself some preservation discipline as I have been growing from seeds and hand pollinating rather than keeping moms. Having only two of these plants led me to expand my knowledge to keep them around to see if I should make some seeds. This is currently pollinated with SSDD as I had one flowering I had put through the gauntlet, so I figured to at least keep them around. I’d like to cross to a haze or Ethiopian/Panama. We’ll see what time brings.
I have not given them a flower test indoors yet as I prefer growing outdoors but I’ll be keeping them around and try a crop this winter.
Both silverchems are very trainable with vine like branches which I personally love. Makes for easy training outdoors and if they finish flowering and can avoid the Mold and mildew I’ll be growing them outdoor next year again. I expect they are more suited to indoor but this plant has been outside since April and hasn’t had any problems
