Red Dog (Lebanese Skunk x Chemdog 91 Bx3) crosses Lebanese Skunk to Chemdog Bx3: Bekaa Valley hash genetics brought into a skunk line against a stud bred to carry Chem 91 into everything without losing it. Neither is a filler parent, which is why this pairing is worth a pack rather than a look. That is what makes this catalogue worth carrying - the Chem side is the original plant, kept by hand for thirty years.

The number in Lebanese Skunk x Chemdog 91 is a specific plant, not a decoration. Lucky Dog Seed Co grow a population out, keep the individuals worth keeping and number them, so Lebanese Skunk x Chemdog 91 is one identified selection rather than Lebanese Skunk x Chemdog in general. A pack naming a different number is a different mother.

Written this way, Lebanese Skunk 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: Lebanese Skunk. A Lebanese hash landrace crossed into skunk, carrying the Bekaa Valley resin traits. Given as a Lebanese landrace, historically grown in the Bekaa Valley for sieved hashish, crossed to Skunk. Lebanese landraces are open-pollinated farmer populations selected over generations for sieving rather than for flower, which is why the resin chemistry and the early finish are the defining traits. Some individuals carry unusually high CBD..
• Father: Chemdog Bx3. Skunk VA's third-generation backcross of the Chem 91 line. Parentage: 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

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

• The Aroma. Cedar and spice with dried fruit underneath from the Lebanese Skunk side, against the Chem 91 nose concentrated rather than diluted: turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it from the Chemdog Bx3 side.
• The Taste. Spiced and resinous, hash-forward up front, turning to greasy and mouth-coating, fuel then earth, sour at the finish through the exhale.

The two halves, side by side

• Timing. Lebanese Skunk runs seven to eight weeks, and that is the half of this cross you can actually plan around.
• Two noses, one pack. Lebanese Skunk contributes cedar and spice with dried fruit underneath. 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.
• Build. On the Lebanese Skunk side: compact to medium plants that flower early, finish fast and stand up to dry heat. On the Chemdog Bx3 side: Chem-family structure, open and stretchy, and it wants support late. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• They pull differently. Growers put Lebanese Skunk at balanced and clear-headed rather than flattening 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. Lebanese Skunk is compact to medium plants that flower early, finish fast and stand up to dry heat. Chemdog Bx3 is Chem-family structure, open and stretchy, and it wants support late.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. Lebanese Skunk runs seven to eight weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Lebanese Skunk as balanced and clear-headed rather than flattening.
• 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.
