There are two very different things inside Old Yogo (88g13hp x reversed Chemdog pollen x Chemdog Bx3). 88g13 Hash Plant: 88g13 Hash Plant - NDNguy's line off Neville's stock, and one of Bodhi's most-used fathers. And Chemdog Bx3: Skunk VA's third-generation backcross of the Chem 91 line. A line built on preservation rather than novelty, which is why the same clone keeps appearing on one side of the cross.

Written this way, 88g13 Hash Plant 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

• First parent: 88g13 Hash Plant. 88g13hp - the male that carries hash character into everything it touches. Given as 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.
• Second parent: reversed Chemdog pollen. After thirty years of holding plants, keeping some of them off the shelf is a choice rather than an oversight.
• Third parent: 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.
• How to read it. Everything below splits into what one parent gives and what the other does. Plants that take from both are the ones to keep.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Neither parent is subtle, and the cross has nowhere quiet to go.

• The Aroma. Rubber, skunk and hash, and none of it subtle 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. Hash and burnt rubber over whatever sweetness the mother brought up front, turning to greasy and mouth-coating, fuel then earth, sour at the finish through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• What to budget. The documented side, 88g13 Hash Plant, runs quick, on many of its offspring - it is one of the reasons the male gets used. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• 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.
• Structure varies hard here. It puts branch strength into its offspring, and many of its crosses finish quickly. bodhi advise a longer veg with it from one parent; Chem-family structure, open and stretchy, and it wants support late from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• 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.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• 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.

In the pack

13 regular seeds per pack. Seeds from Lucky Dog Seed Co, Skunk VA's own line. We stock it because the Chem work here is the real thing rather than a reconstruction of it - he was given the Chem 91 cut in 1995 and has held it ever since. Authentic Lucky Dog Seed Co genetics.
