About Chemdawg

Chemdawg is a legendary strain with an uncertain genetic history. While American breeders are believed to cross it from local Thai and Nepali Sativa varieties, many have claimed the creation of this variety. Chemdawg’s origin stories include an account of complicated seed exchange between fellow growers at a Grateful Dead concert and another story that fixes the paternity of the strain on a Colorado strain called Dog Bud (named for its penchant for making the smoker to turn like a dog). Whatever its beginnings, Chemdawg has become a staple in the US cannabis market. The USA For its unique flavour and lively and energetic high. It has also been used to cross various popular and successful strains. The THC content of Chemdawg was measured between 15% and 20%.

Chemdawg has medium-sized buds that look slightly different from those of the pure or hybrid Indian lineage. Long and conical instead of like popcorn, the flowers have relatively loose, wispy leaves. The spring green leaves are covered in sticky white trichomes, giving the shoots a silvery white appearance. Due to the combination of its loose structure and resinous texture, Chemdawg buds are particularly difficult to break by hand: users who prepare flowers for joints or pipes will have more ease with a grinder. The sticky flowers are intertwined with red to orange pistils. Chemdawg has an odor reminiscent of diesel fuel (which many say is the source of the “chemistry” in its name). The spicy flowers also give off scents of earthy musk and some pine. As long as the flowers are properly cured, this variety has a mild smoke that tastes sour and when inhaled. On the exhale, the Chemdawg smoke betrays its characteristic diesel flavor with an ammonia flavor that reaches the upper palate.

Chemdawg Shatter is a strain whose cultivation is best adapted to the most experienced producers. For a time, it could only be cultivated as a clone if a cut of a mature plant was obtained; now, however, many seed companies sell packaged Chemdawg seeds. It is more often grown indoors than outdoors as it requires a good amount of mold and mildew resistance. Growing indoors requires some vigilance: typical sativa plants often grow more than 5 feet tall, and as such growers must bend and prune them early in the vegetative stage to keep them at a manageable height. Plants bloom within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors and generally offer very high yields: growers can expect between 65 and 75 grams, or 2.3 and 2.6 ounces, per square meter of plant. These so high yields in relatively high plants can generate branches that sink under the weight of the flowers; Growers should use tall supports like wooden dowels to keep plants upright in the flowering stage. Finally, due to Chemdawg’s acidity, any grower concerned with secrecy or discretion should invest in indoor odor control measures such as charcoal air filters or exhaust fans.
