Dog Patch (Chem D x Chemdog 91 Bx2) crosses Chem D to Chem 91, the Chem family's workhorse and the cut most breeders reach for first against the SKVA cut, the original Chemdog '91 and the clone the whole Chem family is named after. Neither is a filler parent, which is why this pairing is worth a pack rather than a look. 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 Chem D 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 Chem D x Chemdog are only the same cross if the number matches too.

Chem D sits on the seed side here, Chem 91 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: Chem D. The most-used of the 1991 Chem phenotypes, and the one sitting behind Giesel. Built from another phenotype from the same 1991 seed lot. It is the Chem half of Giesel, and one of the most widely used Chem cuts in American breeding.
• Father: Chem 91. The plant the Chem name was built on, known equally as Chem 91 and the SKVA cut. Its own cross is one of thirteen seeds from a bag bought at a Grateful Dead show in 1991. Skunk VA was given a cut in 1995 and has held it since, which is why the line survives.
• 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

Expect the profile to move plant to plant rather than settle.

• The Aroma. Solvent and heavy earth, with nothing sweet anywhere in it from the Chem D side, against pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus sitting behind from the Chem 91 side.
• The Taste. Fuel and earth, greasy and coating, finishing sour up front, turning to greasy and mouth-coating - fuel, then earth and pine, sour at the finish through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• What to budget. The documented side, Chem 91, runs sixty-three to seventy days. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Two noses, one pack. Chem D contributes chemical fuel over dark turned earth. Chem 91 contributes pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. Chem D is open and loose rather than compact, wants support once the colas load. Chem 91 is loose and open rather than compact, moderate to heavy stretch, branches that soften under weight late. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• Opposite ends. Chem D is reported as alert and head-forward rather than heavy; Chem 91 as alert and head-forward, sativa-leaning rather than heavy. 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. Chem D is a sprawler that needs propping once weight goes on the branches. Chem 91 is a loose, stretchy plant whose branches give way under late weight.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.
• Flowering Time. Chem 91 runs sixty-three to seventy days. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Chem D as alert and head-forward rather than heavy.
• The Body. Chem 91 is reported as alert and head-forward, sativa-leaning rather than heavy, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
