Iconic Chemdog Menu Delivers High Yields, Great Washers, & Intense Terps

Chemdog genetics are loved around the world. If you’re a cannabis enthusiast, you’ve definitely heard of this strain. While there are many different cuts floating around, Chemdog 91 is the original and has many striking similarities to Crippy and OG, which have been some of the most beloved strains on the planet for decades. Out of all of the Chemdog genetics – Chemdog D, Chemdog #4, Chemdog 91, and Chemsis – the Chemdog D is our personal favorite. Its skunky garlic diesel fuel terpene profile is enticing and just different from the Gelato and Runtz varieties that are dominating in today’s market. Along with the unique terps, the experience of Chemdog D also helped make it such a sought after strain, most notably the intense lingering flavor on the palette along with some of the most narcotic nighttime effects found in cannabis.  It’s some of the best of the best if you’re struggling with pain, anxiety, insomnia, or stress.

The Selected Male

The Dog Patch male we used in this breeding project was hunted from 10 packs of Skunk VA aka Lucky Dog Seed Co’s Dog Patch. This cross is Chem D x Chem 91 BX2. We hunted this line for over 2 years to make sure we really looked through the gear, got to know the different phenotypes within the line, and made the right decision on the one we wanted to work with and cross to our genetics. Whenever we work with another breeder’s gear, we want to make sure we take extra time to test and grow it to ensure it’s something we want to mix with our genetic collection as we’ve taken a lot of time to establish our genetic library. Being so selective is what has helped build our brand and we want to continue with those high standards and thoughtful selections.

Our Dog Patch male will pass incredible yield, structure, and terps to its offspring

This was not an official collaboration. We bought all of the packs we hunted, and chose to introduce these genetics to our customer base. Out of all of the strains we get requests for, this was one that was commonly talked about. Another motivating factor of this project was because we were able to acquire the original clone-only cut of Chemdog D, which we traded a $15k 1-of-1 colorway Joe P glass piece for; it ended up being well worth the trade.

As several growers and breeders we know have also worked with Skunk VA’s gear, we gathered information on what the community was looking for in this line and what they did and didn’t like about it. One consistent thing we heard was that it had phenos that stretched a lot and didn’t branch out well, so when hunting the gear, we kept that in mind when making a final selection. 

We found one impressive variegated male after the hunt was over, which had great branching, very similar structure to the original Chemdog D clone. We found lots of variegated girls but only the one male that was variegated and had the structure we wanted. 

Must-Have Creations

The goal of this menu is to provide heavy Chem D influence with large yields of garlic skunky gas. Chem D washes well, so another goal will be creating great washers with high medicinal value. Again, must-have recommendations can be challenging to make because all of our mothers are ones that we have thoughtfully chosen to keep and work with. We know every cross we make will be amazing, and sometimes the crosses you don’t think pair as well as others end up being the next popular strain; however, we will list the obvious crosses that we know will be a hit.

This Is Just The Beginning Of Our Chem Work

This menu was created in September of 2024. One of the most impressive plants, which happens to be a male, came from the Deadhead Chem seed stock, showing full variegation from top to bottom, every leaf, which is something we don’t think we’ll see in our lifetime again. We found three Deadhead males out of 15 seeds that we are interested in breeding with and are proud of the phenos coming from this menu.

Stay tuned as we continue to work this line further and document the process for you to see, learn, and benefit from. If you would like to add something magical to your personal seed collection, this menu will deliver just that.
