Mass Chem
Also known as: Massachusetts Chem, Mass Chemdog
Mass Chem Strain Overview
Mass Chem is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Massachusetts cannabis scene, representing a regional adaptation of the classic Chemdog lineage. The strain was developed by crossing Massachusetts-grown phenotypes of Chemdog with other local genetics, creating a strain that maintains the distinctive chemical aroma of its parent while adapting to New England growing conditions. Its development reflects the regional breeding trends that became prominent during the medical cannabis expansion in the northeastern United States during the 2010s.
Visually, Mass Chem typically displays dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration often accented by deep purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's most notable characteristic is its pungent aroma profile that combines fuel-like chemical notes with earthy undertones and subtle citrus accents. This complex scent profile has made it particularly popular among connoisseurs who appreciate robust, gassy cannabis varieties.
Mass Chem has gained recognition for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has become a staple in Massachusetts dispensaries and has spread to other legal markets, though it remains most closely associated with its region of origin. Its popularity stems from its reliable effects, distinctive flavor profile, and adaptability to various growing environments while maintaining the signature characteristics of the Chemdog family.

Mass Chem Strain Growing Information
Mass Chem is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain produces medium to high yields, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
Mass Chem adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for various growing spaces. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
