Chemdog D
Chemdog D
Also known as: Chem D, Chem Dog D
Overview
Chemdog D is a legendary phenotype that emerged from the famous Chemdog lineage, originating from the original ChemDawg '91 which was born from selective breeding of 13 seeds found in a bag of Colorado 'Dog Bud' purchased at a Grateful Dead concert in 1991. Over the years, selective breeding of these seeds produced several legendary offshoots including Chem D, Chem 4, and Chem Dawg. High Times magazine has called Chem D the 'cannabis supermodel' and it was named Leafly Budtender's Choice 2024 Winner for its strong potency, gassy flavor, and knockout effects. The original Chem 91, along with Chem D and Chem 4, became famous in their own right among growers, and even the popular GMO Cookies traces its lineage to Chemdawg's Chem D phenotype.
Chemdog D typically features dense, resinous buds with a pale green hue, often adorned with fiery orange hairs and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds are lime and forest green, with dark orange pistils and a layer of crystal trichomes, presenting as popcorn and tree-shaped structures that showcase robust growth. Chemdog D is widely considered a building block of the cannabis gene pool and is credited as a parent of legendary varieties like OG Kush and Sour Diesel. The exact lineage remains shrouded in mystery, but it is widely recognized as a sibling strain to the equally famous Chem 91, with some speculating it is a cross between Chem 91 and Massachusetts Super Skunk.

Growing Information
Chemdog D has an indoor flowering time of 55 to 60 days (approximately 8-9 weeks) and can reach heights of 8 to 10 feet outdoors. Indoor yields range from 17.6 to 21.2 ounces per square yard, while outdoor plants can yield between 45 and 53 ounces per plant. Harvest time is typically ready by the second half of September. The strain is moderately hardy and forgiving of minor mistakes but performs best with attentive care. It adapts to any growing technique and is very resilient, making it suitable for intermediate growers, though it's recommended to grow indoors where humidity and mold can be better controlled. Humidity should be controlled and kept low during flowering to prevent mold. The strain can be susceptible to pests and diseases if proper precautions aren't taken, requiring regular inspection and preventive treatments against common pests like mites and aphids.
