How to Grow the Chemo Cannabis Strain – (UBC Chemo)
Growing Chemo
Perhaps, the fact that the Chemo cannabis strain is so rare, it requires some expertise to grow successfully. If you are an experienced cannabis grower, you can try growing your own Chemo strain either indoor or outdoors.
However, the ideal indoor cultivation should not involve the Sea of Green (SOG) method which means that its flowering stage can take a tad longer. If grown outdoor, you would be happy to know that this strain can tolerate cool to warmer climates.
Another good thing about this strain is the fact that it is resistant to molds and pests.
Flowering Time
Indoors
As mentioned, SOG method is not recommended for this strain. Therefore, the flowering time indoors could take several weeks depending on your medium.
The quickest way to do it is through hydroponics. With this method, flowering time will only take 7 weeks. If you’re not equipped with the right equipment and knowledge of using hydroponics, you can still grow Chemo using soil. Although, this method could take you 8 weeks before your Chemo is ready for harvest.
At the end of each flowering time, you can expect a high indoor yield of 18 to 28 ounces per square meter.
Outdoors
Since the Chemo cannabis strain is quite flexible with its environment, it will not be that difficult to grow Chemo outside. So as long as that you plant this strain in a cool to warm climate (but not in harsher conditions), then you should be able to start harvesting your Chemo by early to mid-October with an expected yield of 24 ounces per plant.
