Gas Leak Strain Overview
Gas Leak is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by South Fork Seed Collective as a breeder's experiment, crossing Chem 99 and Chemdawg BX3 to create an absolute Chem phenotype. This strain represents an 80% indica/20% sativa hybrid that showcases the classic characteristics of the Chem family lineage. The breeding process involved crossing the legendary Chem '91 with a proven Chemdawg bc3 male that had been backcrossed three times, designed to improve stability and make the plant simpler to grow and clone than its mother's heritage.
Gas Leak earned its name from its unmistakable gasoline and fuel-like aroma that is almost offensively powerful, with an intense chemical skunk and heavy fuel scent that turns heads when opened. The buds display a striking appearance with rounded grape-shaped forest green nugs wrapped in dark amber pistils and coated with thick, frosty crystal trichomes. This modern fuel-forward cultivar sits firmly within the family of Chem, OG, and Sour-style strains that have dominated US cannabis markets since the late 1990s, prized for both potency and pungency. The strain represents the evolution of American cannabis breeding, combining old-school taste with modern-day impact.
