Creative Cannabis Fuel

Bud Basics

Chemdawg #4 is perhaps the best known and most beloved variety of the illustrious and mysterious Chemdawg family.

Though Chemdawg is the definition of a perennial hit and has given birth to a number of iconic cannabis strains from the likes of OG Kush to Sour Diesel, the strain’s genetic origins are a secret shrouded in shadows and packed with such potent terps to deliver a truly unforgettable experience.

Rumor has it that the strain originates in Nepalese and Thai landraces, however, all we know for certain is that the Dawg has fully infiltrated the hearts of cannabis lovers worldwide, and Chemdawg #4 represents the finest of this prestigious family.

Somewhat of a black sheep in the largely Sativa family, this hybrid strikes more on the Indica side of the spectrum, and proves herself far more than a mere pretty face (though few strains can match the sheer beauty of these gold-tinged stunners).

Alongside a decadent fuel-like flavor and aroma profile, these buds boast a considerable 24% THC, earning Chemdawg #4 a rightful place among the highest THC strains readily available on the marijuana market.

If you’re here for an easy ride, look elsewhere - while these may not be the toughest plants to cultivate, they’re far from the simplest, either. That said, nothing worthwhile ever comes easy, as the saying goes, and Chemdawg #4 Feminized is worth every bit of your TLC - from her drop-dead gorgeous plants to her heavy-hitting high and moreish flavor, these beauties never fail to impress.

Flavor and Fragrance of Chemdawg #4

The Chemdawg family is famed for a potent and delicious terpene profile consisting of caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene, each serving together to deliver delightful notes of citrus-inspired joy.

While most would agree Chemdawg #4 is more pleasing on the nose than the tongue, this is largely due to the promise of strong chemically lemons the aroma presents, which are somewhat muted on the palate.

That’s not to say you won’t detect those lemony notes which had you salivating at first whiff, but the tang is more reminiscent of an earthy pine, so don’t expect an overwhelmingly citric hit with these nugs.

Effects 

Boasting 24% THC content, you would expect to feel these buds’ influence fairly swiftly, however, don’t be surprised if it takes a little longer for this slightly slow-burner to make her presence fully known.

Chemdawg #4 is known for having a somewhat divisive effect on tokers given that her cerebral and physical influences tend to come on around the exact same time. This can lead to the unprepared feeling quite overwhelmed, but stay with it because this high is one for the history books.

Generally speaking, you should expect any stresses and negativity to wash away first while the mind warms up to the cerebral effects at play. It’s not uncommon to find your mind drifting to esoteric or philosophical concepts while Chemdawg #4 gets to work, and for the best experience, just run with it!

Even if you find yourself hit hard with an irresistible case of couchlock, your mind will be free to fly to the farthest reaches of possibility while your body chills the F out. The strong sedation properties of this strain are why some view Chemdawg #4 as a real one hit and quit strain, so controlling your dose effectively is essential to full enjoyment with these buds.

Those not totally shackled by the sedation might find their creativity ignited and feel compelled to start crossing items off that to-do list, however, the couchlock tends to win in the end no matter how seasoned a stoner you are.

If you are a creative type, having some way to capture those cerebrally buzzed ideas and save them for when you have the energy for acting on them could be a wise move.

In the end, Chemdawg #4’s effects lend themselves perfectly to an end of the day experience or for those days where you have no commitments beyond your own enjoyment. Roll up for a Netflix and chong with this beauty and you’ll be set until you sleep - just be sure to bring ample snacks with you and keep them at arm’s reach!

Medical Uses of Chemdawg #4 Feminized

Although CBD levels dwindle down below 1%, Chemdawg #4 and her mighty THC content have a great deal to offer the medical marijuana masses.

The strong sedative properties of this pot are packed with analgesic and anti-inflammatory traits which make this hybrid a superb choice for soothing physical pain whether it’s mild or chronic in nature. Everything from arthritis to headaches, migraines or even PMS cramps can be considered a thing of little concern when Chemdawg #4 is on your side.

This beauty is also famous for inducing one serious and unignorable case of the munchies, which also serves as an effective counter to feelings of nausea and can help those who suffer from a loss of appetite find their hunger again.

The mind can often be the most powerful source of our maladies, which is why mood modulating stains like this have a huge fanbase among those who suffer from stress and depression or anxiety.

While by no means a cure for what ails you, indulging in some THC therapy with Chemdawg #4 can help restore physical and mental balances, which in turn can be exactly what the doctor ordered, helping patients regain a semblance of normality.

Of course, given that this is definitely considered a high THC strain, you’ll want to tread with care if you’re not used to the psychoactive influence of cannabis - these buds can be pretty intense!

Growing Chemdawg #4 Feminized Seeds

Novice growers should think carefully before attempting to grow Chemdawg #4 Feminized seeds. This hybrid may be a genetic marvel, however, the plants are not without their drawbacks and are best suited to those with at least a few successful harvests behind them.

That said, the application of knowledge is everything, and a little prep work goes a long way.

While these plants rarely reach higher than 1.5 meters, the ample spacing between budding sites and large fan-shaped leaves make these ladies somewhat susceptible to mold and similar undesirable problems.

These are simple enough to mitigate through dutiful pruning and trimming, which will allow for adequate airflow and sunlight exposure, especially in the lower regions, to help increase the density of the bud sites (granting you higher yields in the process), so be sure you’re clear on your cannabis trimming techniques before you get started.

Indoor cultivation is generally recommended for Chemdawg #4 Fem as it offers the grower far greater control over environmental impacts like temperature and relative humidity (RH) - which should be maintained at around 70 to 80°F for the former and between 40 and 50% for the latter.

Of course, feel free to cultivate outdoors if you must - a warm Mediterranean climate is best, but be sure your conditions are optimal before committing. If your heart is set on growing outdoors in the northern hemisphere, aim to plant the beans in summer and use a pot for easy evacuation if the weather turns on you.

Keep in mind, outdoors these plants can reach closer to 2 meters (7 feet) tall, so be sure you’re ready for that!

Where possible, ScROG setups are reported to be tremendously effective ways at boosting Chemdawg #4’s yield potential, however, this is not strictly essential to a successful crop.

After between 9 and 10 weeks, these beauties will be ready to harvest and reward the dedicated indoor grower between 450 and 550 grams per plant for their efforts. Outdoor cultivators, on the other hand, can expect between 680 and 850 grams per plant! (Don’t mind if I do!)

Summary

Some cannabis strains hardly stand apart from the competition, but with Chemdawg #4 Feminized, you’re in for an unforgettable treat.

These beans produce plants that are not simply stunning in nature, but blessedly generous in terms of yield, flavor, aroma and THC, too.

Possessing a potent physical and cerebral high as well as a number of therapeutic applications (not to mention bag appeal through the roof), any crop would be well served with a batch of these feminized beauties on board. A word of caution for novice growers, though - this won’t be the easiest harvest in the world.
