Excited to try a side by side grow of Chem OG, which I got as part of a contest win. They’ll be in separate diaries so I can record the differences in techniques. Please follow both to see our progress!
The seeds popped hard and fast, with the root showing less than 24hours after getting it started in wet paper towels. Left it for two further days to develop before planting directly into the 5L pot it’ll stay in. Soil is Biobizz Allmix.
Here’s what Female Seeds has to say about it:
This exciting American OG strain is the result of crossing an OG Kush mother with a highly potent original Chemdawg father. The OG Kush we used it's a cut deriving from the San Fernando Valley. The Chemdawg, as others understood from the description we were giving already before, is deriving from a clone of the ChemDawg 91.
She is a strong, resistant and sturdy stemmed plant. Thanks to her genes the plants present OG Kush-type buds, really dense and pop-corn shaped.
She is a highly productive plant, with light green colored leaves (with different phenos the leaves tend to get a yellowish green aspect) and vivid green buds. These buds are abundantly covered with orange pistils giving the plant a beautiful and attractive appearance. Besides the orange pistils the buds have with a very noticeable layer of trichomes.
Keep humidity low in the final stages to prevent mould. She likes different growing technique. She’s a versatile plant and reacts well to stress and any overfeeding. Screen of Green training method is a highly recommended method.
The smoke is smooth and delicate, she charms with an intense combination of flavors. One can clearly distinguish pleasant notes of lemon, pine, earthy and a woody flavor. That is thanks to its OG Kush origins, while thanks to the Chemdawg father gives the strain a very distinctive, prominent sour taste of with that typical diesel/fuel taste.
The effect is intense, long lasting and combines two different but balanced highs. At first an uplifting and stimulating high, which then develops into a more indica effect developing a more sedative effect. Even though is not a complete couch-locker strain, it still helps you relax and alleviate stress.
A friend is looking after the plants while we’re with the family so limited pictures. No nutes or anything, the Allmix should be good enough. The water is dechlorinated but otherwise not manipulated (our water is very hard).
The seed case is still on there, and while I would have pulled it off myself my friend was a bit hesitant. Hope it doesn’t knock things back too far.
Thanks Female Seeds for the contest prize!

Glad to see those little leaves peeping out. This one kept its seed case for a long time; my friend finally pulled it off. Hope it recovers.

This one is recovering slowly from having held its seed case so long, so I won’t top or FIM—just a little light LST and defoliating once it’s a bit bigger. Introduced some light nutes this week as well. Everything else in the tent got FIMed this week, so hopefully this one can catch up a bit.
Wondering if this one will hermie, lateral growth is not good. But other than that slow and steady, maybe it will recover! Still limited growth nutes only but will probably flip to flower soon (for the others in the tent).
This one had some good growth this week and no signs of hermie-ing, which is great. I took off a few of the big fan leaves to allow more light to flowering sites. Flipped to flower 6 days ago but no signs yet.
Another happy week. This one still hasn’t started flowering after two weeks at 12/12, but it’s close. All the others in the tent have just started and this one has always been a few days behind. But it’s caught up height-wise and otherwise looks healthy.
Finally flowering! A few purple stems appearing so have added a little Algamic. No other apparent problems; just been taking off some fan leaves. Really pleased with this past week.
Another week done. Pistils starting to pop out properly, so hopefully will see buds next week. Still growing vertically as well. No problems with bugs or nutes so far either. I’ve stopped the Biogrow and have added a little Algamic.
No nutes issues yet but a few purple stems. Good bud growth, vertical growth was huge this week. Lovely to see all the trichromes popping out and the smell is getting stronger. This one is about two weeks behind the others in the tent but is the largest, so we’ll see what happens.
Really pleased with growth this week. Not super frosty yet but growing. Still some decent vertical growth. Smells lovely too. No problems with nutes or pests.
Not super frosty yet but plenty of bud growth to come. A bit of a potassium issue so trying to really give it a lot of nutes. Otherwise no fuss, except for some recurring flies.
Deficiencies all over the place this week. But buds are growing well and plenty more weight to come. Maybe another week or two before flushing for two weeks. Smells strong now.
Really getting into senescence now. Trimmed some dying leaves. It’s still showing signs of deficiencies, I think calcium and potassium, but the buds are still going very well. Plenty of growth to come.
A friend is looking after my plants for a little bit so a short report. They didn’t get watered for a week but seem to be okay. Buds fattening and looking lovely!
Really enjoyed this strain. Super easy to grow, no problems with pests (some flies, that’s it) and no real dramas. It recovered well from an early incident and survived having a fan drop on it. Will definitely grow again.
