| This is another garden by a fello BC Grower that he calls his pipe dreams, haha. Here he is trying to maximize side lighting and seems to do an efficient job of it. He tried my chemo clone in one of the pipe last grow and that single pipe yielded a pound of finished product. Amazing! So this time almost the whole garden is comprised of chemo clones, haha. He'll be a happy camper if each tube can yield a pound: http://www.cannabisworld.com/ubb/Forum15/HTML/000398.html |

| Indoors, the flower time is between 7-8 weeks depending on how it's grown. The first time I grew it, I accidently harvested early (5 weeks) because it developed so fast and to my inexperienced eyes, appeared ready. But it shrank down to nothing and ended up as seedy swag. When flowered for 8 weeks, it becomes very solid and heavy hitting. Outdoors is still unknown to me, but I will know in a few weeks. |

| I can tell you for certain that Chemo is in fact NOT a sativa, but I won't dismiss the idea that it has some sativa influence. If you research back enough, all early and initial info on chemo was devoid of mention of sativa influence. Most early reports are of a very leafy dark green polyploid that looks more like an indica than anything. While I won't be so presumptous to assume that mine is the original real deal, it did come from a reputable source and with a reputable story of it's creation. It also came to me as an almost stabilized IBL, suggesting that it was worked on by someone that knew a little bit about breeding and not some random hybrid cross made by a hobby grower. Chemo does have lots of skinny leaves and if it was crossed with the right sativa, a chemo hybrid could look alot like a leafy sativa. But the original form wasn't sativa. Like I said earlier, I would be presumptous to assume that mine is the original real deal, but I say with certainty that it's close. When I first started describing it, most with previous chemo experience, verified the descriptions. When buds have been shared with various members of Vancouver's elite "in the know" crowd like those supporting the Vancouver Compassion club, they have recognized the buds as traditional chemo. Ditto for Red of Legends and some from Emery's group. Different people researching this may come to different conclusions, but for what it's worth, I've uploaded a few pics of chemo over the last week or so and several of the same clone growing in a wide variety of environments. These Chemo clones growing in the pipe dreams system were grown by the same grower in the same room and at the same time as the ones grown in the Omega garden at: http://www.cannabisworld.com/ubb/Forum15/HTML/000908.html#12 The two gardens were exposed to different lighting, but still the two threads offer somewhat of a side by side comparison of the two systems with this particular clone. in a flood table: http://www.cannabisworld.com/ubb/Forum15/HTML/000397.html http://www.cannabisworld.com/ubb/Forum15/HTML/001026.html#1 picture of it outdoors: http://www.cannabisworld.com/ubb/Forum15/HTML/001278.html |

| A legendary potent British Columbian indica strain rumored to have been developed by the Canadian government as a medicinal strain for cancer patients. Now apparently found only in cuttings or crosses such as MCW. |
