The History of Chemdog
In the early 1990’s a man known now as Chemdog met some friends in a parking lot at a Grateful Dead show. There he purchased a sack of uber pungent weed that would make you roll around on the floor like a dog. Dogbud was a very rare high-grade variety for anyone to come across at the time. Originally “Dogbud”, it also was nicknamed “Chem weed” for is noticeably chemical like funk to the aroma and strength. Together, the names “Dogbud” and “Chem weed” collided and was forever branded as “Chemdog”. This is where Mr. Chemdog gets his famous moniker. Wanting to taste the incredible flavor again Mr. Chemdog had more of the hippy weed stealthily shipped to him in Massachusetts. In the weed he was shipped he found exactly 13 beautiful seeds.
All Roads Lead to Chemdog
As it gained popularity almost friends he wanted to grow some of this weed for himself. Doing so he would discovered plants that would be the key to today's best marijuana.
Chem 91 and Chem Sis were discovered in the very first germination. (some say responsible for Sour Diesel and OG Kush)
Chem D was discovered in the a second round of germination. (Responsible for cup winner "GMO")
Chem 4 was discovered when he gave his friend some of the last Dogbud seeds to germinate. (Responsible for Copper Chem)
The narrative would continue as the Chem's elite genetics permeated into the lineage of today’s most sought after strains. Without Mr. Chemdog’s discovery we wouldn’t have OG Kush, Sour Diesel or any of their famed descendants like Gorilla Glue #4. These strain names resonate with even the most novice smokers as they have simply set a bar for quality in todays market. Was all of this foreseen in that Grateful Dead show parking lot so many years ago?
A Star (Dawg) is Born
The father to all of our Wild West Series is a powerhouse strain known as Stardawg. A puritan blend of the best of the Chemdog family. Greenpoint's breeding stud, the Star Dawg (Chem 4 x Chem D bx3) is the most recent patriarch of the Chemdog family. With it’s pure Chem bloodline only partially outcrossed with Afghanistan landrace genetics. Breeding Stardawg, JJ Edwards from old era Top Dawg Genetics, was able to pull the Chemdog purity out of three backcrosses to the Chem D cut and create the extinct Chemdog D Bx3 male. That male would pollenate Chemdog 4 and a star (dawg) is born.
Royal Bloodline
Our vintage Stardawg breeding male is something truly extraordinary with the collision of the two historically elite Chem variations. This incredibly stable male has been renowned as a breeding juggernaut for his ability to produce extremely desirable top quality plants. I have come across many males that I hoped would out perform the Star Dawg male, but he still stands as the king of the hill.
