Chem Dog #4, aka Chemdawg #4, is an indica-leaning strain that’s part of cannabis lore. The story goes that the original Chem Dog strain was sprouted by a Grateful Dead fan named Chemdog from seeds with Nepali and Thai genetics. The original four seeds were popped in 1991 — Chem Dog 91, Chem’s Sister, Chemdawg D, and an unknown male that was reportedly disposed of — and another four in 2006. Of the latter four, Chem Dog #4 was supposedly the one closest to the original and is, therefore, sometimes called the Reunion Pheno. 

The top reported aromas of Chem Dog #4 are pungent citrus, sweet earth, and pine. It’s said to taste similar with hints of fuel.

Chem Dog #4 is an indica-dominant strain with Nepali and Thai genetics. It produces short plants, though they can grow up to 7 feet outdoors, that require an experienced hand to trim, keep the perfect humidity, and employ Sea of Green (SOG). Chem Dog #4 has an average flowering time between 70 and 77 days indoors and late October outdoors. It is known to produce large yields in ideal conditions. Chem Dog #4 grows well indoors and outdoors though it’s picky and needs tending by an experienced grower. 

Chem Dog #4 is available as seeds and clones.
