3 Chems
3 Chems
Also known as: Three Chems
Overview
3 Chems, also known as Three Chems, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by Top Dawg Seeds. This strain is a proud descendant of legendary Chemdawg genetics, with some sources indicating it was created through a three-way cross of Chem 91 x Chemdog x Tres Dawg strains. The strain emerged from Top Dawg Seeds' innovative breeding efforts to combine the revered legacy of Chemdawg with balanced indica traits, resulting in a cultivar that commands attention for its potency and aroma. 3 Chems exhibits the classic characteristics of its Chemdawg lineage, featuring dense, trichome-laden flowers with a harmonious mix of deep forest greens and occasional purple hues. The buds are generously coated with bright, sparkling trichomes and feature thick pistils interspersed with vibrant orange hairs. The strain is renowned for its super sharp chemical spicy flavor with an earthy pungent exhale, accompanied by an aroma of earthy pungency with chemical overtones that intensify with consumption. Users describe the old-school chronic chemical super skunk smell that made rooms reek of true skunk weed, a characteristic that has become increasingly rare in modern cannabis.

Growing Information
3 Chems can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty level. The strain typically enters flowering within 8-9 weeks and completes its cycle around 10-12 weeks (70-84 days total). Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 68-78°F with humidity levels around 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold development. The strain requires consistent airflow and humidity control, and responds well to organic nutrients that enhance terpene profiles and resin production. Support structures like trellises are recommended due to dense bud formation. Low-stress training (LST) methods can enhance yield distribution. Outdoor cultivation requires ample sunlight and well-draining soil. The strain is known for high resin production and generous yields when grown under optimal conditions.
