The Good Shit (Dog shit x chemdog 91) puts Dogshit over Chem 91. One is the Pacific Northwest cut also known as Electric Boogaloo, and for a while the best weed in Portland; the other is the SKVA cut - the original Chemdog '91 and the clone the family takes its name from. Two very different plants, and the point of the cross is what sits between them. Humboldt CSI work almost entirely from clones they hold themselves, so both sides of this are the real thing rather than a seed-line approximation of it.

Written this way, Dogshit is the mother and Chem 91 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: Dogshit. The Pacific Northwest cut also known as Electric Boogaloo, and for a while the best weed in Portland. Its own cross is contested - one account puts it in Minneapolis in the early 1990s as Electric Boogaloo before it moved west and was renamed; a persistent rumour gives it as an old Colombian and Afghani hybrid. It rose in Oregon and Washington after 1998 and is still passed as a clone; CSI's The Good Shit is Dogshit over Chemdog 91.
• Father: Chem 91. The SKVA cut, the original Chemdog '91 and the clone the whole Chem family is named after. Built from 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.
• The point of the pairing. Neither parent needed rescuing. Putting them together is about what sits between them, not about fixing either one.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

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

• The Aroma. The electric haze character the name is known for from the Dogshit side, against pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus sitting behind from the Chem 91 side.
• The Taste. Sativa-forward and sharp up front, turning to fuel first, earth and pine behind it, sour to close, and it coats the mouth through the exhale.

What each side brings

• 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. Dogshit contributes the electric haze character the name is known for. 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. Dogshit is mostly sativa. 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.
• They pull differently. Growers put Dogshit at sativa-leaning and Chem 91 at alert and head-forward, sativa-leaning rather than heavy. 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. Dogshit is mostly sativa. Chem 91 is open and loose rather than tight, stretching moderately to heavily, with branches that soften under weight late in flower.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• 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 Dogshit as sativa-leaning.
• 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.

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. Genuine Humboldt CSI stock.
