Chem D BX3
Chem D BX3
Also known as: Chemdog D BX3, ChemDawg D BX3
Overview
Chem D BX3 is a meticulously bred indica-dominant strain developed by Insane Seed Posse through an extensive backcrossing program that began in the 1990s. The strain represents the third generation backcross (BX3) of Chemdawg D, created by crossing a refined Chem 91 x pre-invasion Afghan male back to the original Chemdawg D clone-only mother three times to stabilize and intensify the desired traits. This careful breeding process, documented over nearly a decade from 1994 to 2003, was designed to preserve the legendary characteristics of the clone-only Chemdawg D while making it available in seed form. The project aimed to address the vulnerability of clone-only genetics to environmental stress and legal issues while maintaining maximum potency and structure.
Chem D BX3 exhibits predominantly indica characteristics with an estimated genetic composition of approximately 80% indica and 20% sativa. The strain is renowned for its exceptional resin production, dense bud structure, and complex aromatic profile that combines the signature diesel-chemical funk of the Chem lineage with earthy, skunky undertones. The breeding program achieved remarkable genetic stability, with reports indicating 90% stabilization across breeding cycles, resulting in consistent phenotypic expression. Two main phenotypes emerge from seeds: Phenotype #1 (appearing 80% of the time) mirrors the original clone-only mother in all characteristics, while Phenotype #2 (20% frequency) displays slightly less branching with identical potency but enhanced skunky aromas. This strain represents a significant achievement in cannabis genetics, bridging the gap between legendary clone-only cultivars and accessible seed genetics.

Growing Information
Chem D BX3 is considered suitable for intermediate to advanced growers and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks) and is sensitive to temperatures above 82°F and humidity levels over 60% during flowering. Indoor yields range from 1-2 ounces per gallon of growing medium in soil, coco, or sunshine mix, while hydroponic systems can produce 1-2.25 ounces per foot of vertical growth when properly dialed in. The plant feeds medium to heavy depending on the growing medium and responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST), which can boost yields by 15-20%. Optimal indoor conditions include temperatures between 72-78°F during vegetative growth with 50-60% humidity. The strain benefits from full-spectrum lighting and requires careful attention to airflow and pest management due to its dense, resinous bud structure.
