Chem & Kush
Also known as: Chem Kush, Chem 'n' Kush
Chem & Kush Strain Overview
Chem & Kush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines two legendary lineages: the potent Chemdawg family and the classic OG Kush varieties. This strain represents a deliberate breeding effort to merge the cerebral intensity and fuel-like aromas of Chemdawg genetics with the physical relaxation and earthy-pine flavors characteristic of OG Kush. While its exact breeding history is not fully documented in public records, it emerged during the early 2000s as breeders sought to create balanced hybrids with both powerful effects and complex flavor profiles.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its Kush heritage. The flowers display a vibrant green color often accented with purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, reflecting its hybrid nature.
Chem & Kush is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines chemical, diesel-like notes from its Chemdawg lineage with the earthy, pine, and sometimes citrus undertones from its Kush ancestry. The effects are typically described as balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. This strain has gained popularity among experienced users seeking a potent yet manageable hybrid experience, though it remains less widely documented than its parent strains.

Chem & Kush Strain Growing Information
Chem & Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it prefers a controlled environment to maximize resin production. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, taller outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Chem & Kush is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are average, though the plants respond well to bloom boosters during flowering. Temperature should be maintained between 68-80°F (20-27°C) with moderate humidity levels, especially during late flowering to prevent mold.
