Chemdog !!!

Ok I'm stopping for a bit cause this is over 2 hours long but hearing about a tee shirt with a milk carton saying Chemdog is missing lol. I'd tap that dude on the shoulder too.... honestly though this is my first time seeing their faces. I read a lot about Chemdog and have talked about my love of the strains I've had but I literally had no idea what they even looked like...

Question; the 13 seeds thing... so that would mean Chemdog and Chem D and the like were hermie seeds; do those traits ever leave ? Like if the stain was ran from seeds over and over again without outside stresses, would that trait in the genetics retreat? Or disappear?

Still learning about how seeds and genetics in general play out.

Also could they be stabilized? Without adding additional genetics?
 
Now don't quote me on this because I don't know the answer for sure..But in my experience Ive grown lots of Chem..I'm very picky when selecting plants that will hit the breed tent..I've made lots of crosses and I've never used a female plant that wasn't anything less than pure ass female...Even Chem x chem..That being said I have never seen any male parts on any of the Chem I keep these days...So I'm my opinion the trait definitely retreats with selection...but I have no science backing this just what I've seen with my own eyes

Thank you bro! I was kind of thinking that was how it would go eventually; I mean, from what I've read, the plant usually hermies based on outside stressors making the plant get more and more concerned for it's genetic well being, and in response to those stressors, it hermies out in a last attempt to save it's line and makes seeds. From what I understand the seeds are 95% chance to be hermie as well (I think I read it does this because of conditions the plant was in making it stress in the first place) and so the conditions and environment take their toll on the plant and it seeds up and passes that trait on, but it would stand to reason that eventually, through selective careful running of said seeds, that if they aren't stressed out, after some generations of running without that stress, it would retreat the hermie part of the genes.

I think if I was better at breeding I'd probably be able to word my questions better but I try LOL. Thanks bro :) And being that you may well be near by with all that Chem..... If you see a chunky dude with long hair and a beard sniffing around the area don't shoot LOL.

I got 8 seedlings of chem 4 f2 (female) x Mandala 8 mile high f3 (male) That I'm checking out now....If I come across a worthy female I'm hitting her with the Chem D A5/Thai cross male....Ide be happy to throw ya some seeds from that cross when they are done....if I don't find a very worthy female I'll pop another 8 but I doubt that's going to happen
 
Yeah bro I'd LOVE that! That sounds like a pretty fun project too. I know I've seen a bunch of web sites saying Chemdog is a Sativa, but in my experience with Chem D it flowers and is ready pretty fast so I'm thinking those sites are relaying "myths" about it. Are you going to breed in the Thai side a few times to increase Sativa leaning ?

Apparently Sour Diesel is Chemdog X Super Skunk and Sativa Dominant, would that help ?
 
I've seen with the Chem it's about selection and Ive always picked the sativa side of things when looking for phenos regardless of the strain..Chem tho is almost always indica Dom.. especially the D and anyone saying it's sativa probably hasn't smoked a pure sativa ..The 8 mile is very sativa but finishes quick.. killer smoke..The A5 is a trippy powerful sativa and the Thai strains also pure sativa ...That being said just keep picking the Chem leaning phenos and it will all work out in the end

OK I was curious if simply selecting and selective choosing would do the trick or not. Thank you :) I remember not too long ago I asked if Chem D was "actually" a Sativa dominant as so many sites claim, because it wasn't anything like that with what I was experiencing. I mean the Chem D seedling (From bagseed of course) that I put outside last year was almost done (resin color was already cloudy and some amber coloration had started too) almost at the same time Blue Cheese was getting finished, which, Blue Cheese in Michigan outside is generally ready QUICK! I've grown Blue Cheese the most and in general, by the end of September I start looking at the resin to see how far along she is so I'll be ready to pull her, and was just surprised to see a strain like Chem D that I kept reading was "A Sativa" was damn near ready too. Made no sense at first.

Thai landraces bro.... I've never gotten to try one, but they're "rumored" to be one of the genetics used in the original Chemdog though I can't say how true that would be (A strain discovered back when all this was illegal.....I mean maybe a genetics lab could tell ?) so I'm not sure but I know I've loved that family tree for a long time!

I guess I always assumed Chemdog was "probably" a part of the Skunk #1 family, but I honestly don't really know. (Then again if the strain is pungent enough I generally think of Skunk LOL).

I haven't had any of that 8 Mile but I have seen you mention that before, but the A5 I don't think I've ever heard about that one. On Google it's talking about a Northern Lights X Haze strain, is that the one ?
 
Speaking of Sativa leaning plants; I don't have any non hermie seeds of this, but there's a strain I literally can't find ANY info about called Hawaiian Sunshine, which, I managed to get a single seed from an ounce from a local dude (From what I can tell, this was a locally done breeding thing) and I'm guessing it's probably some form of Hawaiian crossed with Sunshine (Sunshine being a Michigan strain from what I've seen) and it's easily the LONGEST flowering plant I've ever grown.... She took forever to get done....Like literally one of the last things we pulled as the cold weather started eating up her leaves.... The smells are VERY sweet and floral, but with a distinct "pungency".... I almost don't want to say Pungent because when I think of pungent I think of really smelly, but there's this really distinct potency to it.

Tropical fruit and "spikes your arm hairs if you bump into her" because of how sticky she was.... I got a single seed from a bag, sprouted the seed, and it was female Thank God! Soon to be Father in Law took a clone of her too and kept telling me how I better share her cause of how sticky she was. Flavor is a lot like the smell, and because the Wife doesn't always do very good with Sativa leaning plants, I left her until some amber color made it's way in the resin which ended up working very well. I had one seedling of this, and once she flowered out we trimmed her up, and so far I've only got 5 seeds off the entire plant... Literally couldn't even nute burn her either.... I experimented with this because she was MASSIVE (I grew her sideways and took every branch on the side facing the soil off, and she went nuts with bushyness LOL) and the top of the greenhouse had to be propped up because the side branches were bending as they grew into the top (10 feet high) and a 20 foot long greenhouse .... I could have probably filled the whole thing with just her; She was never topped, and her top branch which I used sticks made of Fiberglass to hold her down, stretched like halfway across the greenhouse.

As I said I've only got 5 seeds of her from the entire plant, but I really feel like this is one you'd probably like anyway.

Go on Ace seeds website and have a blast looking thru that setup...Tons of strain info. Even down to terpene profile...I still to this day find myself at the site looking thru the info even tho I already have 50 times...It's for this reason I LOVE Ace seeds. They really know what they are doing and what they are working with... In my honest opinion the best breeders out there...They definitely putting in the work for many many years

Sure sounds like a typical sativa...ya probably got something special there...when you grow her again take a few buds with some clear trichs...then some with clear and cloudy...then again cloudy with a few ambers...see how ya like it....keep the clear and clear/cloudy away from the wife....blastoff

Ace seeds website will clear up the A5 and any Thai questions ya may have...Along with other landrace strains
 
Bro I've never seen this site before ! You can search by the smells !!!!! Haha. Checking that out for sure.

And yeah even though that's bag seed, it's something I can't find info about, and I'm curious because that smell and taste are like.... Everyone loves her. I think I've still got some of her left depending on just how far away you might actually be LOL.
 
Quetta is extremely dry and features a desert climate with almost no rains through the warmer months of the year, and almost all precipitation comes down in the form of snow during the winters. The temperature remains cool almost throughout the year at the mountains, with snowfall taking place from early November to early December.

Now see this kind of thing makes me think Indica (The part about almost all precipitation being snow) and I like that for outdoor growing because when it starts getting cold, the plant doesn't seem to care as much. That Hawaiian Sunshine didn't like the cold at all! But Blue Cheese for example, doesn't care really. I've had my plants out in snow before and they still were fine Thank God.


Sure is pretty too !

Takes off an acrid tangent with a number of components such as pine, phenol, fuel, eastern spices and naphthalene with occasional faint floral hints. The smell is also quite intense indicating a high concentration of terpenes
