It is, im just looking for thoes magic numbers you know Like Ph ,day time temps RH - different strains can produce better in different temps, RH, PH etc.. some growers have Mastered this strain by going through trial & error along with maxing out ther feeding schedule that is. # I keed my temps at 85 in the day and 77 at night. My Humidity at 52 in the day and 47 at night. My ph i let it fluctuate between 5.8 ,5.9 ,6.0 ,6.1 my ppm 1420 my Ec right now is at 2.1 i change my EC around through different stages of my plants life cycles i max out my plants at Ec 2.2 water temperature at 72 i grow in hydro edd n flow 4 gal buckets , medium hydroton my girls get feed 4 times a day for 15 min only in the day time i never water them while they sleed. Im using Advanced nutrients grand master bundle with some other things in my mix # i feel like my buds should be a lil bigger tho but this is MY FIRST time growing Chemdog so i really dont know what to expect just about done with WEEK/5 ENTERING WEEK 6 SO lets see how big they get next week DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE GROWING CHEMDOG?

If your "tryin to make a buck or two"
Your using the wrong type of light.
Hps is the only way to go in a profit grow.
My opinions are as such. Your ppms are too high . You water temp is too high. Your room temps are too high . good luck

Check out my led grow, we are about run mainly 91 chemdawg. We pulled almost 6 pounds off the last run, but we didn't have enough plants..

I feel wat ur saying about the lights i was skeptical at first. i just got a buddy that swiched from hps to these mars 2 hydro LED light and he pulls more from these LEDs then an 1000 hps so i went and bought me 4.
But as for my ppm ive always ran 1420 and gotten good results i use to stop at 1200 really i cant tell the difference in the end they only eat as much as they can eat in the air. I just like the #s 420
For Water temperature what would you go with my water tep is set to 70 but it goes as high as 72 then my chiller kicks on
My temps are ok from my experience i do let my nights get colder in the last 3 weeks week of all my plants life cycle drop them to 69 slowly tho week by week 3 degrees lower every week till harvest same with my days i drop that down slowly week by week end off at 74 by harvest
Its just my 1st time with the Chemdog and i really dont know anyone with a good amount time spent with her to figure out her MAGIC NUMBERS.
There is a YouTube video from greenhouse seeds on best conditions for chemdawg. Look at that.

My buddy pulls over 2 per with a chem dog strain on a consistent basis . No disrespect but this isn't s hobby for me. Roots do best at 68 degrees . Your room is too warm. To run your ppms that high because you like a number? I would rethink that logic. That is too high. I don't ever feed over 1000 ppms (1150runoff). I use a lot of advanced products as well. I will be very surprised if your able to pull 2-2.5 pounds with each of those fixtures but I hope you do.

Dude thats an amazing set up
Thoes solar storms are pricey As fuck i wanted to get them How are you liking them?
yea my buddys getting some pretty dense chunkers with the Mars hydro LEDs
This is my test run with my lights, first time using leds and growing Chemdog as well loving my electric bill now tho lol way different from Hps growing wise as well #loving these LEDs
I know chemdog or 91 chemdog is a big yileder thats why i picked Her
Whats ur #s u run with man ? Temps RH ppm etc ur in coco tho huh? Are you familiar with advanced nutrients? i see u run canna nutrients

Ok i hear you. I go till i see signs of burnt tips then gradually decrease my water ppm when they show signs. Ive had strains that would barely take 1200 i usually finish off at 1000-1200 ppm in the final res changes of my crops with all my strains but this chemdog seems to be a bit more tolerant when it comes down to feeding for instincts im in week 5 barely showing sings ive ran 3/4 strength nuts the majority of my plants life week 6 change ress ill drop down my ppm 100 depending on strain week 7 drop her down 100 more till im at 1000-1200 the more i drop the more carbs go in ? How long have u been growing? im only 21 ive been growing since i was 15 got more heavy when i turned 17 moved in door and i love it .more than a hobby i provide for my 2 kids with this

Your nugs are definitely small for how far along they are. I've only been growing 4 or 5 years but I get a gram per watt consistently . Good luck

Thats what i was thinking but LEDs just make the nugs dense from my point of view not all airy like lighting from T5s if used for flowering and and different from Hps
PAR readings are pretty good seem to penetrate all the way through the canopy.
Ill be posting weekly up dates Pictures till harvest and final weight when dried.
This is my test run with LEDS IF successful i will be replacing all my Hps with LED panels
My buddys getting great results from these LEDs not only has his products been more dense but the color of the buds are beautiful not to mention the Terps A++
So will see at the end of this hope to change a couple heads with this project Got 12 Chemdogs in my gorilla 4x8 tent that was really my veg tent but wanted to do this test with LEDs All 12 chemdog have been vegged for 30 days after i cut my clones from the mother Chemdog. Took 10 days to root total of 40 days i have a 9 week strain but i ma try to push 10
10 weeks .
Lets see

What yield does your buddy pull per lamp under what footprint

Not to shure on the gram per watt for his new set up. but he flowers in a 10x12 using 10 450w Mars hydro led panels each covers 2x6
I do know that he use to run 5 1000 watt HPS in Adjust A Wing fixters one on each corner and on in the middle and pulled a lil short of a gram per watt.
He says he pulls out more now but then again he is using a lil less watts but for a lil more than half the Electric bill
But for LEDs its reall not about how many watts u run its about the spectrum it provides from what he says. You can have a bunch of LEDs but if those lights are not the right spectrum they wont do No good.
Hes finished product tho is much more dense now and the color of his buds have a nice hue to it terps are better aswell just a more pleasant smell
So by seeing wat he shows me Im pretty convinced LEDs are the future of Growing

Im not calling u a bad grower . Im
Don't get me wrong i still use HPS im just saying THERE'S GOOD RESULTS BEHIND LEDs not trying to make u a Believer or say HPS are crap cuz there's not
just saying there is good results behind them. And some growers my not have the money to buy them or may not "Believe" in spending a large a mount of money on a couple fixters to get good results compared to traditional inexpensive HPS whatever the case is idont care

is this still active?
all i can say is you will need patience with the GHS Chemdog and keep a close look during the last weeks.at the end it tends to build some male flowers among the buds.you DON'T want to cut her yet though.only get the male flowers out. the wait and work will be worth it.
when chem is dun she has many amber trichs so it gets a amberish teint.
damn i can smell that grape fuel aroma...
