Chemdog: The Legendary Strain and the Cultivator Behind It
What Is the Chemdog Strain?
Chemdog (sometimes spelled Chemdawg, but never by the man himself) is one of the most famous cannabis strains in history. Known for its pungent diesel aroma, potent effects, and legendary genetics, Chemdog has given rise to many of today’s top strains, including Sour Diesel, OG Kush, and Chem 91.
If you’re looking for authentic Chemdog strains, there’s only one place to find them: Canna Provisions, where Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski himself oversees cultivation.
Who Is Chemdog? The Father of Kind Bud
Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski is a living legend in cannabis cultivation, often called the “Father of Kind Bud” in the U.S. He’s also Canna Provisions’ Director of Cultivation, ensuring that every Chemdog strain you buy from Canna Provisions is the real deal.
“I would say probably 85% of the stuff out there [called Chemdog] isn’t really what it’s labeled. They’re just throwing a label on it to sell it.”

The History of Chemdog: From a Grateful Dead Concert to Cannabis Fame
The Chemdog strain’s origins trace back to a Grateful Dead concert in 1991 at Deer Creek, Indiana. Greg acquired a bag of cannabis called “Dogbud” and later discovered 13 seeds inside. After growing them, one seed produced Chem 91, the original Chemdog strain.
Since then, Chem 91 and its descendants have become some of the most sought-after strains in the world.
The “cannabis supermodel known as [Chemdog or Chem D],” as High Times Top 25 Strains of All Time list says, “it’s also a shout-out to all her sexy sister phenos (Chem ’04, Chem’s Sister and so on) that were spawned from the legendary 13 seeds found in a pound of Colorado kind bud purchased on a Grateful Dead tour back in the early ’90s. Out of those beans came a line that launched a whole new generation — and genetics revolution, of sorts — of the world’s newest and best marijuana.”
