Chemdawg is a hybrid strain that brings you a slight indica body buzz along with an intense cerebral sativa high. The strain is easily recognizable with its round buds, wide indica shapes, highlighted with dark lime indica shades and lots of light lemon, fiery reddish, orange and tan sativa hairs all glued together with large, gleaming, quartz-like trichomes.

The Legend of Chemdawg
Source: http://420dotcom.com/chemdawg-unraveling-the-chemdog-strain-mystery.html
It is rumored that Chemdawg was created from a cross of Kush, Hash Plant and Northern Lights, however the exact origins of the strain are shrouded in obscurity and controversy. The birth of Chemdawg begins with a grower named Joe Brand, also known as Wonkanobe, and his friend Pbud from Colorado. They went on tour with the Grateful Dead with a pound of pot that they called Dog Bud because “it was so strong that it made you roll over like a dog” after smoking it according to Pbud. Dog Bud is rumored to have been grown from a three-way cross of Thai, Hashplant and Skunk by smuggler and breeder Frank Gegax in a huge underground pot bunker which was busted in 1990. They also jokingly called it Chemweed due to its fuel/chemical like smell.
One of Wonkanobe and Pbud’s customers from a show fell in love with the Chemweed and instantly returned for more of it. He became friends with Wonkanobe and Pbud and eventually combined the names “Dog Bud” and Chemweed” into “Chemdawg” which also wound up becoming the nickname of their new friend Chemdog, the grower as opposed to the strain. The growers stayed in touch after the Grateful Dead tour ended and Wonkanobe and Pbud sent Chemdog two more ounces of the original “Dog Bud”. One of these ounces contained thirteen seeds responsible for starting the Chemdawg dynasty. Chemdog sprouted the first four seeds in 1991. One of the seeds turned out to be a male which he could have used to grow more amazing cannabis cup winning ganja and which he still regrets having thrown out. He named the other three plants Chemdawg ‘91, Chemdawg a and Chemdawg b. Chemdog and his girlfriend germinated one of the original thirteen seeds in 2001. Chemdog reunited with Wonkanobe and gave him back four of the six remaining seeds, the fourth of which turned out closest to the original “Dog Bud” strain and was dubbed the reunion pheno. All of the Chemdawg weed in the world originally came from one of those five original plants and Chemdog still has the last two seeds un-sprouted in his stash.

The Legacy of Chemdawg
The strain has also given birth to highly sought after strains such as OG Kush and Sour Diesel. Sour Diesel is typically regarded as a cross between Chemdawg with Northern Lights and Massachusetts Super Skunk however, others including Chemdog himself claim that Chemdawg and Sour Diesel are simply the exact same strain.
