Selfing takes one plant and makes seed from it alone. Here that plant is Chem D, the Chem family's workhorse and the cut most breeders reach for first. It carries chemical fuel over dark turned earth. Chem D S1 is therefore a search through what that single cut is carrying rather than a blend of two lines.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father — Chem D, selfed. The workhorse of the Chem family and the cut breeders reach for most. Given as another phenotype from the same 1991 seed lot. It is the Chem half of Giesel, and one of the most widely used Chem cuts in American breeding.
• Preservation, not novelty. A cut this old has no seed history - it has been passed hand to hand. A self is the only route to a packet, and the only way the line outlives the people currently holding it.
• Why self rather than cross. Cross a clone to anything and you get a hybrid of it, not the clone. Reversing it onto itself keeps the parentage on both sides, which is the honest way to put a clone-only cut into seed.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Chemical fuel over dark, turned earth.
• The Taste. Fuel and earth, greasy and coating, finishing sour.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. A sprawler that needs propping once weight goes on the branches.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Chem D as alert and head-forward 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. Humboldt CSI are preservationists before they are breeders - most of what they release is a clone somebody has kept alive by hand for years, put into seed so it stops depending on one grower staying in the game. That is what you are buying into here. Humboldt CSI original genetics. 21+.
