Chem D.O.G. Feminised

Does Chem D.O.G. finish outdoors in Ireland? It does, planted out at the end of May and cut by early October. The 55/45 balance handles an Irish season without special treatment, which is most of the reason to choose it. Bloom takes 63-70 days, so the harvest date is set by the calendar far more than by your technique.

What should I expect to take off it? Up to 450g/m² indoors and Up to 450 gr outdoors are the published figures, and both assume a full light or a full season plus a root run to match. A tunnel gets you most of the way to the outdoor number; a windowsill will not. At 18% THC the effort is well spent either way.

Is it a sensible first grow? Reasonably. Anyone who has finished one grow will manage this one; it asks for consistency rather than expertise.

Soil or coco? Coco with fertigation at EC 1.4-1.8 through bloom if you are there daily and want speed. Peat-free soil with slow amendments — fish, blood and bone, seaweed meal, rock phosphate — if you are not, and want flavour. Both suit this hybrid; the deciding factor is your week, not the plant.

How does it handle the weather here? Hybrid vigour covers most of what an Irish summer does. Keep the root zone under 28°C and do not transplant into a warm spell.

When does bloom feed start? Within a week of the first pistils. The 55/45 balance shifts demand quickly at the transition — phosphorus and potassium up, nitrogen down. Soil growers top-dress; coco and hydro switch formula immediately.

Tunnel, outdoors or indoors? A tunnel is the best value of the three here. Indoors you own the 63-70 days of bloom completely; outdoors the plant gets light no lamp matches and can reach Up to 450 gr, and pays for it in rain. Flowering: 63-70 days. Indoor yield: Up to 450g/m². Outdoor yield: Up to 450 gr. Plant height: Short. Rated easy difficulty.

The catalogue lists euphoric, calm, and that matches what growers here report back. At 18% THC this hybrid sits where the balance is the argument for it. Small doses stay functional, larger ones relax properly, and the 55/45 split means the direction is set by the amount rather than fixed by the plant. The Myrcene and Limonene together leave earth and faint sweetness, with fruit at the end.

Suited to most occasions, with the dose doing the steering.

Primary: Myrcene · Secondary: Limonene · Tertiary: Pinene. Temperature decides how much of this profile survives. Low vaporisation at 180-188°C keeps limonene and pinene audible over the myrcene; run it hotter, or burn it, and all three collapse into one note that is pleasant enough and tells you nothing.

Chem D.O.G. suits growers with the fundamentals in place. Understand pH, rough nutrient ratios and a light cycle before committing to it; it asks for competence rather than expertise. Photoperiod genetics leave plant size and harvest date under your control — veg longer for a bigger plant, or flip early when the ceiling is low. A bloom of 63-70 days fits inside the season here for outdoor growers, with a tunnel making it comfortable rather than tight.
