Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Growing Chemdog #4 is not for the faint of heart. It is recommended for master cannabis growers and can be difficult to grow both indoors and outdoors. The most noticeable obstacle when growing this strain will be this plant’s massive size, typically growing to a colossal seven feet tall. While Indoor growing will limit this a bit, the plant’s inclination for vigorous growth makes it difficult to manage. Not only does it require ample head room to grow, it also takes a steady hand and tons of patience to bring this plant to fruition. It has a preference for temperate, Mediterranean and continental climates, you need to live in a specific environment for outdoor grows and really need to dial in your growing conditions indoors.
