G-Chem
Also known as: G Chem, G Chem OG, G-Chem OG
G-Chem Strain Overview
G-Chem is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive chemical aroma. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known West Coast genetics: G13 and Chemdawg. This combination creates a plant that inherits the legendary potency of its parent strains while developing its own unique characteristics. G-Chem first emerged in the California cannabis scene in the early 2010s and has since spread to other legal markets, though it remains less common than some of its parent strains.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. G-Chem's most notable feature is its pungent aroma profile that combines fuel-like chemical notes with earthy undertones, a signature inherited from its Chemdawg lineage. The flavor profile follows a similar pattern, with diesel and chemical notes dominating the initial taste, followed by earthy and sometimes slightly sweet undertones.
G-Chem plants typically exhibit a balanced growth pattern with moderate height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its powerful, long-lasting effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, G-Chem has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate its potent effects and distinctive terpene profile.

G-Chem Strain Growing Information
G-Chem 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 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments. G-Chem prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. The plants tend to stay at a manageable height of 4-6 feet outdoors and 3-4 feet indoors with proper training. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
