Romulan x UBC Chemo
Also known as: Romulan Chemo, Romulan Chemo Cross
Romulan x UBC Chemo Strain Overview
Romulan x UBC Chemo is a hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossbreeding of two legendary Canadian genetics: Romulan and UBC Chemo. This strain emerged in the early 2000s from Canadian breeders seeking to combine the potent, relaxing effects of Romulan with the medicinal properties and unique terpene profile of UBC Chemo. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, it gained recognition through Canadian medical cannabis programs and underground cultivation circles, particularly in British Columbia where both parent strains originated.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green coloration often accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with broad leaves, inheriting characteristics from both parent strains.
Romulan x UBC Chemo is noted for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, chemical notes from the UBC Chemo lineage with the piney, spicy undertones characteristic of Romulan. The flavor experience often includes a mix of diesel, pine, and subtle citrus notes, with a smooth smoke that belies its potency. This strain has maintained a dedicated following among medical cannabis users and connoisseurs despite never achieving widespread commercial distribution.

Romulan x UBC Chemo Strain Growing Information
Romulan x UBC Chemo is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors when given adequate space. Yield is generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. This strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can thrive outdoors in temperate climates with consistent sunlight. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to manage the bushy growth pattern. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual nutrient reduction during the final weeks of flowering.
