Triangle Kush x Chem 1 brings Triangle Kush together with Chem 91. The first is the Florida clone often credited with giving OG Kush its origin, named for the triangle of Jacksonville, Miami and Tampa; the second, the plant the Chem name was built on, known equally as Chem 91 and the SKVA cut. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. CSI breed off held clones rather than off seed stock, which is why the parents named on the pack are the actual plants and not their descendants.

1 identifies the Triangle Kush x Chem 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 Triangle Kush x Chem are only the same cross if the number matches too.

Written this way, Triangle Kush 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: Triangle Kush. The Florida clone often credited with giving OG Kush its origin, named for the triangle of Jacksonville, Miami and Tampa. Lighter on the pine and cleaner-fluid terpenes than its reputation suggests, which is why breeders pair it with louder cuts; Humboldt CSI's 5150 is their pick out of a large Triangle Kush S1 population.
• Father: Chem 91. The SKVA cut - the original Chemdog '91 and the clone the family takes its name from. 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.
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

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

• The Aroma. OG earth and pine, held back rather than shouted from the Triangle Kush side, against pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus sitting behind from the Chem 91 side.
• The Taste. Earthy pine with weight, finishing clean 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

• They are not on the same clock. Triangle Kush runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy; Chem 91 runs sixty-three to seventy days. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Two noses, one pack. Triangle Kush contributes classic OG earth and pine, noticeably restrained rather than loud. Chem 91 contributes pungent turned earth and diesel with pine and citrus behind it. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Structure varies hard here. Stocky and bushy at moderate indoor height, up to two metres outdoors; vegs vigorously and throws heavy foliage; takes trimming, defoliation and lollipopping well; dense bright green flower under heavy resin from one parent; loose and open rather than compact, moderate to heavy stretch, branches that soften under weight late from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• They pull differently. Growers put Triangle Kush at the potent, focused end of the OG family 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. Triangle Kush is leafy and vigorous, filling a tent quickly and taking hard training in return for dense greasy flower. Chem 91 is open and loose rather than tight, stretching moderately to heavily, with branches that soften under weight late in flower.
• Vegetative Phase and Stretch. Shape the plant before the flip. Correcting a frame in week six is harder work than setting it in week two.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Triangle Kush runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy, Chem 91 sixty-three to seventy days. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Triangle Kush as the potent, focused end of the OG family.
• 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. Their library is clones first and crosses second, which is why the names on their packs read like a list of plants rather than a list of products. Real Humboldt CSI stock, not a copy.
