Chemo Seeds

Growing Tips for Chemo

Chemo cannabis plants are tricky to cultivate and are best grown by horticulturalists with an experienced green thumb. Chemo marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower's ability to manage the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to a warm, dry Canadian summer. Chemo cannabis seeds produce plants that are bright and vibrant green with frosty resinous trichomes covering the elongated bud structures. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to harvest. Doing so will ensure that you grow potent and pungent buds from the top of the plants to the bottom. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables — particularly useful in many Canadian regions where temperatures can shift unexpectedly. These plants grow medium height and can reach around 4-7 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum outdoor height of 7 feet, you are going to have to trim and prune these plants so they don't overgrow. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 19-28 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 35-65% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Low-stress training techniques are best suited for the Chemo strain. If you perform these methods correctly, you will increase your yields come harvest time. The Chemo strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage of growth.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Chemo strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 800 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 650 grams per plant. You would be hard pressed to find another potent strain that produces more grams per harvest.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Chemo: Medicinal Masterpiece

The Chemo weed strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - Most commonly found in black pepper and cinnamon. Known as the spicy and peppery terpene.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene - Known as the "mother of all terpenes", myrcene gives cannabis plants the earthy and pungent aroma they are known for.
• Limonene: Sweet Citrus - Commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits. When found in cannabis, this terpene can help with anxiety and improve lung function.
