Chemdawg #4 is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) that stands as one of the most prominent phenotypes in the legendary Chemdawg lineage.

The tale begins in 1991, at a Grateful Dead concert—an event that epitomized the counterculture vibes of the era. A man named Chemdog, known now as a cannabis pioneer, bought a bag of high-quality bud known as Dog Bud from some Colorado growers. Meanwhile, the remaining three became known as Chemdawg '91, Chemdawg's Sister, and Chemdawg B. In time, two more phenotypes were born, Chemdawg D, and Chemdawg #4. In the last two decades, Chemdawg established itself as legends, with Chemdawg #4 being the most prominent phenotype.
