Chemdawg - Chemdog

Chemdawg, also known as Chemdog, is a popular, 55/45 indica-leaning strain created in the early 1990s in a parking lot of a Greatful Dead concert. A breeder later named Chem purchased an ounce of Dogbud from fellow growers P-Bud and Joe Brand. Joe Brand said it smelled like chemicals and named it Chem.  The breeder, Chem, combined the 2 names and named it Chemdog. The average THC content is between 18 and 26 percent.  

This strain is a difficult grow and not recommended for novice growers.  It is prone to mold and mildew and needs optimal ventilation, humidity control, and air circulation.  Flowering time for Chemdawg is nine weeks indoors and October outdoors in a warm, dry Mediterranean environment.  

The aroma profile is diesel, earthy, pungent, and pine.  The flavor is that of diesel, earth, pungent, lemon, chemical, and pine.  

Medicinally, this happy plant is relaxing and uplifting, which can help reduce symptoms of chronic and depression and banish negative thoughts and feelings of impending doom.  It promotes creativity, focus, and mental clarity; good for those who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
