Nea Chem
Also known as: Nea Chem OG
Nea Chem Strain Overview
Nea Chem is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its balanced effects and distinctive chemical aroma. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast breeding scene in the early 2010s. Breeders likely developed Nea Chem by crossing established chemovar lines to create a plant with predictable growth patterns and consistent cannabinoid profiles. The name 'Nea Chem' reflects both its chemical heritage and the 'new' (nea) expression of these characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a complex structure that combines traits from both indica and sativa lineages. The flowers are often forest green with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking appearance. The most notable feature of Nea Chem is its pungent aroma profile that combines chemical, fuel-like notes with undertones of earth and citrus, giving it a distinctive character that experienced users can readily identify.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Nea Chem has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain represents a continuation of the 'chem' family lineage that has been influential in modern cannabis breeding. Its relative rarity in commercial markets means that information about this strain comes primarily from grower communities and specialized dispensaries rather than large-scale commercial producers.

Nea Chem Strain Growing Information
Nea Chem is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, 1.5-2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Nea Chem requires good air circulation to prevent mold in its dense buds and responds well to organic nutrients. The strain shows some resistance to common pests but can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.
