Chem Cornelian (Cherry Pie x Chemdog 91 Bx3) is Cherry Pie crossed to Chemdog Bx3. Cherry Pie is Granddaddy Purple crossed to Durban Poison, roughly sixty-forty indica. Chemdog Bx3 is the father behind most of the Lucky Dog catalogue. Between them they cover ground neither reaches alone. The Chem family runs through most of what Lucky Dog release, and it runs through it as a held cut rather than as a name on a pack.

91 identifies the Cherry Pie x Chemdog used here. Numbered cuts come out of a population that was grown and sorted, and the number rides with the plant that was kept. Two crosses that both say Cherry Pie x Chemdog are only the same cross if the number matches too.

Written this way, Cherry Pie is the mother and Chemdog Bx3 the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Cherry Pie. Granddaddy Purple crossed to Durban Poison, roughly sixty-forty indica. Parentage: Granddaddy Purple x Durban Poison. Considered easy to grow.
• Father: Chemdog Bx3. The Chemdog Bx3 stud - Chem 91 pushed back into itself three times. Given as 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.
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two profiles that stay distinguishable rather than collapsing into one.

• The Aroma. Cherry and dark berry with an earthy floor from the Cherry Pie side, against diesel and sour earth, concentrated rather than diluted by the backcrossing from the Chemdog Bx3 side.
• The Taste. Cherry and berry closing earthy up front, turning to greasy and mouth-coating, fuel then earth, sour at the finish through the exhale.

What each side brings

• Timing. Cherry Pie runs eight to nine weeks, and that is the half of this cross you can actually plan around.
• Two noses, one pack. Cherry Pie contributes dark stone fruit and berry over earth. Chemdog Bx3 contributes the Chem 91 nose concentrated rather than diluted: turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. Cherry Pie is short and bushy at eighty to a hundred and twenty centimetres with wide lateral branching that suits low-stress training. 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.
• Opposite ends. Cherry Pie is reported as settling; Chemdog Bx3 as alert and head-forward rather than sedating, as the Chem 91 line runs. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Cherry Pie is short and bushy at eighty to a hundred and twenty centimetres with wide lateral branching that suits low-stress training. Chemdog Bx3 is Chem-family structure, open and stretchy, and it wants support late.
• 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. Cherry Pie runs eight to nine weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Cherry Pie as settling.
• 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.

In the pack

13 regular seeds per pack. Seeds from Lucky Dog Seed Co. This is Skunk VA's line, built on the Chem family and on holding old cuts rather than chasing new ones. Real Lucky Dog stock, not a copy.
