DescriptionChemdawg is a well-established Cannabis cultivar with an uncertain genetic history. While it is thought to be a cross from Thai and Nepalese sativa landraces by U.S. breeders, many have laid claim to this strain’s creation. Independently of its origins, Chemdawg has become a staple in the cannabis market not only for its unique taste and upbeat, energetic effects, but also because it has also been used to crossbreed several popular and successful strains. Chemdawg’s THC content has been measured to be between 15 and 20%. Chemdawg has medium-sized buds that look slightly different from those of hybrid or pure indica plants. Long and tapered rather than popcorn-like, the flowers have relatively loose and wispy leaves. The spring green leaves are covered in white trichomes, lending buds a silver-white appearance. Due to the combination of their loose structure and resinous texture, buds of Chemdawg are particularly difficult to break up by hand. The sticky flowers are threaded through with red to orange pistils. The smell of Chemdawg is reminiscent of diesel fuel. The pungent flowers also give off earthy musk and some pine aromas. Properly cured flowers produce a smooth smoke that tastes sour when inhaled. On the exhale, Chemdawg’s smoke changes its signature diesel taste with an ammonia-like tang that hits the top of the palate. The cultivation of Chemdawg is better suited to experienced growers. It is more frequently grown indoors than outdoors, as it requires a good amount of tending to resist mold and mildew. Growing indoors takes some vigilance; the sativa-typical plants can reach height of over 5 feet, and as such, growers need to bend and prune them early in order to keep them at a manageable height. Plants flower within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors and typically offer a very high yield of approximately 65 to 75 grams per square foot of plant. Such high yields on such relatively tall plants can bend branches under the weight of the flowers. Chemdawg’s potency has made it a valuable cultivar for crossbreeding. Its descendant strains include the phenotype Chemdawg 91 as well as the popular hybrids Sour Diesel and OG Kush. More likely to keep users awake then put them to sleep if consumed at night, it has an almost eye-watering pungency and energizing effects.
