88g13 Chem (88g13 x Chemdog 91 Bx3) is 88g13 Hash Plant crossed to Chemdog Bx3. 88g13 Hash Plant is 88g13hp - the male that carries hash character into everything it touches. Chemdog Bx3 is the Chemdog Bx3 stud - Chem 91 pushed back into itself three times. Between them they cover ground neither reaches alone. These are Skunk VA's own crosses, made off stock he keeps himself.

The number in x Chemdog 91 is a specific plant, not a decoration. Lucky Dog Seed Co grow a population out, keep the individuals worth keeping and number them, so x Chemdog 91 is one identified selection rather than x Chemdog in general. A pack naming a different number is a different mother.

88g13 Hash Plant sits on the seed side here, Chemdog Bx3 on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: 88g13 Hash Plant. The hash-plant male that carries old character into modern crosses without flattening them. Parentage: given as G13 crossed to a Hash Plant and Northern Lights #1 line. It was bred by NDNguy from stock Neville Schoenmaker gave him, which is most of why it carries the reputation it does.
• Father: Chemdog Bx3. The Chemdog Bx3 stud - Chem 91 pushed back into itself three times. It traces back to a backcross of Chemdog 91 - the cut Skunk VA has held since 1995 - worked back into itself three times. Backcrossing is what you do when you want more of one parent rather than a blend.
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two profiles that stay distinguishable rather than collapsing into one.

• The Aroma. Burnt rubber, skunk and hash - loud, but it does not bury what the mother brings from the 88g13 Hash Plant side, against Chem 91's nose with the volume up - turned earth, diesel, pine and citrus behind it from the Chemdog Bx3 side.
• The Taste. Thick and hashy, with the mother's flavour still readable underneath up front, turning to greasy and mouth-coating, fuel then earth, sour at the finish through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Timing. 88g13 Hash Plant runs quick, on many of its offspring - it is one of the reasons the male gets used, and that is the half of this cross you can actually plan around.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives burnt rubber, skunk and hash - loud, but it does not bury what the mother brings; the other gives the Chem 91 nose concentrated rather than diluted: turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Two frames in one pack. 88g13 Hash Plant is it puts branch strength into its offspring, and many of its crosses finish quickly. Bodhi advise a longer veg with it. Chemdog Bx3 is Chem-family structure, open and stretchy, and it wants support late. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put 88g13 Hash Plant at the resin and the weight the hash-plant family is kept for and Chemdog Bx3 at alert and head-forward rather than sedating, as the Chem 91 line runs. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. 88g13 Hash Plant is it hands down branch strength, and a good number of its offspring finish early; Bodhi ask for a longer veg with it. Chemdog Bx3 is the open, stretchy Chem frame, and it will need propping once the colas fill.
• Vegetative Phase and Stretch. Shape the plant before the flip. Correcting a frame in week six is harder work than setting it in week two.
• Flowering Time. 88g13 Hash Plant runs quick, on many of its offspring - it is one of the reasons the male gets used. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe 88g13 Hash Plant as the resin and the weight the hash-plant family is kept for.
• The Body. Chemdog Bx3 is reported as alert and head-forward rather than sedating, as the Chem 91 line runs, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
