Chemtrails
Chemtrails
Also known as: Chem Trails, Chem Trail, ChemTrails, Chemical Rain
Overview
Chemtrails is an indica-dominant strain that owes its robust genetic lineage to the relentless efforts of its creators. The strain's ancestry is predominantly indica, with subtle contributions from sativa influences that provide a balanced effect. This modern hybrid is rooted in the famed Chemdog family and known for a pungent, fuel-forward bouquet. The strain has gained a following in legal markets for combining heady uplift with a grounded, body-centric calm, making it versatile for day-to-night use when dosed appropriately. One established lineage from Organic Gardeners crosses Chemstar (Chem d X Stardawg) with DutchPiss (82' Skunk clone X CodeBlue). The strain's exact debut timing is difficult to pin to a single source because multiple regions picked up similar Chem-forward hybrids between the late 2010s and early 2020s. Dispensary menus in states like Colorado, Oregon, and California began listing Chem Trails or Chemtrails during this period, typically tagging it as a hybrid with Chemdog ancestry. The visual appeal of Chemtrails is one of its most distinguishing features, with dense, frosty buds that are reminiscent of classic indica cultivars. The buds are compact and adorned with a generous coating of resinous trichomes, giving them a sparkling appearance.

Growing Information
ChemTrails can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with plants needing a flowering time of ±63 days (8-10 weeks or 55-70 days). It's mostly indica with a 70/30 indica dominant ratio and shows 30-40% stretch. The strain has 3 phenotypes: a short squatting plant that's super branchy and slower to veg, flowering around 55-62 days; a perfect mix phenotype flowering in 60-65 days yielding rock hard buds; and a tall lanky phenotype like Chem 91 flowering 70+ days needing support for baseball-size buds. It has strong stock with extreme branching, grows tall and stretchy like OG or Chem 91, and is a medium to heavy feeder. Indoor cultivation requires day temperatures of 24–28°C and nights of 18–22°C, with relative humidity at 60–65% in veg, 50–55% early flower, and 40–45% late flower. A VPD of roughly 0.8–1.1 kPa supports vigorous growth, with lighting intensity of 700–900 µmol·m−2·s−1 PPFD in late veg and 900–1200 µmol·m−2·s−1 in mid-to-late flower. The strain rewards attentive cultivation with dense, resinous colas, but demands odor control and good airflow.
