Strain Origins: The Story of Chem 4

In the early 2000s, Chemdog reconnected online with legendary cultivator PBud, who originally supplied the 13 seeds that birthed the Chemdog legacy. In 2006, the final four seeds were sent to PBud and Joe B in Napa, California—giving rise to Chem 4. This cultivar is known for its chipper, quick-acting high and unmistakable lemon cleaner profile.

Chem 4 Strain Info

Genetics

Sometimes labeled as Chemdog 4 or Chem #4, this strain originates from Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski’s final four seeds from the original 1990s Chemdog line. Cultivated in Napa, California, it became a hallmark of the Smash Hits lineup.

Terpenes

Dominant terpenes include myrcene, limonene, and humulene. Expect bold citrus on the nose, followed by piney, earthy undertones. The flavor mirrors the aroma—lemony and gassy with a sweet, clean finish.

Immediate onset with a euphoric mental lift and energetic start. Eventually gives way to a calming, full-body relaxation. This is a strain that transitions quickly from alertness to blissful chill.
