Grow Journal For Dr Greenthumbs Chemdawg#4 Cut

[porcupine]

It's a birthday today! One month old to the day. My babies were born on exactly 4/20 at 12:00 pm. Everything is going great, the mutant is still kicking, and all is well!

I have given foliar feeds with Botanicare's Liquid Karma and Higrocorp's Organa Add. Molasses has been added to the soil as well. I am not going to top these this time around. I asked Doc about his experience topping this strain and his exact reply was:

I don't top Chemdawg at all, but if you're going to do so I'd prune it radially, starting at the second node and pinching it off at the 6th.

I will try both ways next round and see what happens.

Looking REAL nice!

I know it's still early, but anyone who doubts the stability take a look at the pictures. They look like five clones growing next to each other.

They sure do -- I had to scroll back up to double-check my first impression.  I thought for a minute you had just posted up 4 photos of the same plant!

Those pictures are of six different plants, including the mutated one!

I think you'll find all of our strains are pretty uniform

[avgjoe]

Very nice guys, keep up the good work.Let me know how they turn out.They definitely look healthy.

[MightyMightyMezz]

Looking good, porcupine! These Dr. Greenthumb elite cut female seeds are very intriguing. Very interested to see how your grow turns out.

Looking nice and healthy there porcupine, nice job!

 

They do look similar to the one particular ChemdawgD cutting I kept. The exaggerated jagged serrations and leaf pedal shape are tell tale. One of those rare occasions I took a cutting without testing a sample first.

 

Some say D is closer to the real deal and some say 4 is. Never had the original so I can't say one way or the other. If there are any Chemdawg4 cuttings out there I'll find one though .

Here is a quick update:

I just noticed a couple of pre-flowers tonight 5/30 on several of the plants. This is exactly 40 days from germination.

Basically I am in a holding position, as I am starting clones of each plant, and want to make sure they are rooted before I put the originals into the flowering cycle. I have started giving them 1 Tablespoon per gallon of Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro Vegetative Formula( NPK 3-1.5-4 ) and Botanicare's Liquid Karma( NPK .1-.1-.5 ) at 2 teaspoons per gallon at every watering. I have also started adding Higrocorp's OrganaAdd( NPK 2-0-0 ) at 1 teaspoon per gallon every three waterings. The plants are watered every other night on average. They are receiving a foliar feed once a week with OrganAdd at 2 teaspoons per gallon and Liquid Karma at 1.5 teaspoons per gallon. All the mixtures are PH balanced to 6.0-6.5 . Their average daytime high temperatures have been around 80-85 degrees with a night time average of around 70- 75 degrees. I will be transplanting them into 3 gallon plastic nursery pots with Fox Farms Happy Frog Potting Soil in the next couple of days. I will make sure to take, and post pictures before I transplant them.

When the time comes they will be flowered under either a 1000 watt Hortilux HPS-EN or a 1000 watt Hortilux Blue HPS. I have't decided yet.

I am transplanting them into 3 gallon pots tonight filled with Fox Farm's Happy Frog soil. Here are a few pictures, sorry about the quality again but a new camera is on the way, and the flowering pics are what really counts. They are on average about 12.5" tall and I am expecting about a 200% stretch so they should end up in the 3 foot range or slightly bigger at harvest. The mutant is way behind and I am not sure how she will do, so I am going to hold her back a bit. The other five will hit the 12/12 cycle in a few days, after they have adjusted to the transplant, and I am sure that I have a clone of each.

you are the man with the plan bud. +rep.

They look beautiful porcupine! Nice and bushy and healthy looking. That mutant is crazy looking.

Looking Good Porcupine. That mutant looks quite interesting, I'll be watching. Thanks for the pictures.

Yeah, I just hope she makes it and is something special. She is WAY behind all the others and you can tell her root system is not what it should be, as I only have to water her half as often as the others, if that. As of now I think I'll call her the Romaine Lettuce pheno.

Very interesting plant and name. Is it nute burned too? or is that just how it is growing?

 

I have a mutant too. She has webbed leaves. I have pics in my gallery.

It's just the way she is growing. None of the others have any type of burn.

[CannabisPatient#1]

Since it is stunted it probably is using less nutes right? I wonder how the flowers will look...if they will be all weird and contorted. I can hardly wait.

Update: I just put the five girls in the flower room as I am seeing roots on the cuttings. Now comes the good part! The girls are between 15"-18" and should be solid 4-4.5 foot plants in 60-75 days. They are now under a 1000 watt digital HPS system using a Hortilux LU1000/HTL/EN bulb.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on these!

[porcupine]

After only 4 days of 12/12 the girls are now averaging 19"-24" and have put on a 5" - 6" stretch in this short period of time!

 

 

 

[rockinlespaul]

Those look great porcupine!

[Cannastyle]

Looking absolutely fantastic bro.....bring on the buds!

So what's happening with the Lettuce pheno?
