The documented half of Mendo P x Chem 1 is Chem 91: the SKVA cut, the original Chemdog '91 and the clone the whole Chem family is named after. Mendo P has no write-up, and the point of the pack is what it does when the two meet.

Mendo P x Chem carries a 1 because selections get numbered to stay distinguishable once they leave the room they were made in. It marks this exact mother, and it is the part of the name worth reading closely.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Mendo P. Held by CSI and undocumented outside their own catalogue. Growers buying these packs are generally buying exactly that: access to stock that is not otherwise obtainable.
• Father: Chem 91. The SKVA cut - the original Chemdog '91 and the clone the family takes its name from. 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.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it.
• The Taste. Fuel first, earth and pine behind it, sour to close, and it coats the mouth.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. Open and loose rather than tight, stretching moderately to heavily, with branches that soften under weight late in flower.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• 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 91 as alert and head-forward, sativa-leaning rather than heavy.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Nearly everything CSI put out is built from cuts they hold themselves rather than from other people's seed lines, which is why their catalogue reads like a list of clones instead of a list of brands. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
