Chemborne 13 Clone (Airborne G13 x Chemdog 91 Bx3) sits between G13 and Chemdog Bx3: a legendary Afghani indica whose origin story is better known than its pedigree on one side, a stud bred to carry Chem 91 into everything without losing it on the other. Skunk VA has held the Chem 91 cut since 1995, so what sits behind these crosses is the clone rather than a line bred to resemble it.

The number in Chemborne 13 is a specific plant, not a decoration. Lucky Dog Seed Co grow a population out, keep the individuals worth keeping and number them, so Chemborne 13 is one identified selection rather than Chemborne in general. A pack naming a different number is a different mother. 91 identifies the 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 x Chemdog are only the same cross if the number matches too.

Written this way, G13 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: G13. A legendary Afghani indica whose origin story is better known than its pedigree. Parentage: broad-leaf Afghani; the botanical evidence points to an Afghani landrace and no cross is documented. The famous story - that it was taken from a US government research programme at the University of Mississippi in the 1970s, one of a batch labelled G1 to G23 - is not supported by any documentation. The federal programme itself was real; a cultivar named G13 inside it has never been evidenced, and most accounts of cannabis history now treat that part as folklore. What is not in dispute is the plant: an Afghani indica selected for resin and potency..
• Father: Chemdog Bx3. Three generations of Chem 91 worked back into itself. Its own cross is 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

The two halves stack rather than blend, which is the whole reason to run it.

• The Aroma. Earthy and sweet with a musky Afghani depth from the G13 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. Earthy hash with a sweet finish up front, turning to greasy and mouth-coating, fuel then earth, sour at the finish through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• What to budget. The documented side, G13, runs eight to nine weeks. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Two noses, one pack. G13 contributes earthy and sweet with a musky Afghani depth. 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. G13 is classic broad-leaf indica structure, short and wide, with very heavy resin production and strong hybrid vigour. 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 G13 at heavy, physical and long-lasting 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. G13 is classic broad-leaf indica structure, short and wide, with very heavy resin production and strong hybrid vigour. Chemdog Bx3 is the open, stretchy Chem frame, and it will need propping once the colas fill.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. G13 runs eight to nine weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe G13 as heavy, physical and long-lasting.
• 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.
