How to grow Chemdawg #4
THC 25% 
Flowering 56 - 63 days Taste
Seb's take
Fourth in the celebrated Chem line, and ancestor to Sour Diesel and OG Kush among others — quite the family reunion. Pine, lemon and earth on the nose; the high is long-lasting, relaxed yet invigorating, more likely to inspire than to flatten you into the sofa. A weekend strain with a working week's pedigree.
Where it comes from
Big Head Seeds offer this feminized Chemdawg #4, fourth in the celebrated Chem line that runs back through Chemdog, or Chem '91, to Chem D and Chem B. It is an indica-dominant hybrid, and quite the family patriarch in its own right: this cut has gone on to help create the likes of Sour Diesel and OG Kush, among others. Quite the reunion, when you lay the genealogy out; few plants can claim so distinguished a downstream.
Nose & flavour
The nose runs earthy and pine-forward, brightened by a clean lemon note cutting through the base. It is a grounded, resinous aroma with just enough citrus lift to keep it lively, savoury rather than sweet. A characterful Chem-family profile, deep and aromatic, that carries well through the smoke.
The high
The effect is long-lasting and relaxed yet invigorating, an impressive cerebral high that lifts as much as it settles. Users tend not to while away the evening on the sofa but instead feel inspired, which makes her good company after a hard day or across a free weekend. A weekend strain with a working week's pedigree, in short, and rather more energising than the couch would suggest.
Growing it
Feminized, and a quick grower that responds well to training techniques, though the record notes it takes a little skill to get the most out of her. Flowering completes in a tidy 56 to 63 days, with THC stated at 20 to 25%. No firm height or yield figure is given, so read her by disposition: responsive, willing under LST or topping, but rewarding of a grower who pays attention rather than one who leaves her to it. No plant for the distracted, but a fine one for the engaged.
