Animal Gas
Animal Gas
Also known as: Animal Gas OG
Overview
Animal Gas is an indica-leaning hybrid cannabis strain developed by Seed Junky Genetics through crossing Chemdog 91 and Animal Cookies. This potent cultivar emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the modern cannabis breeding movement, combining the legendary diesel genetics of Chemdog 91 with the sweet cookie characteristics of Animal Cookies. The strain exemplifies the 'gas' category of cannabis, known for its pungent, fuel-like aroma and powerful effects. Animal Gas produces large, dense, and exceptionally sticky buds with specks of pink and purple throughout, covered in a thick blanket of resinous trichomes. The flowers have a compact structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids, with tightly stacked calyxes and moderate internodal spacing. This strain has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its complex terpene profile and balanced effects that can provide both relaxation and functional euphoria. While the exact breeding details remain somewhat mysterious, Animal Gas has established itself as a sought-after cultivar in dispensaries, though it can be difficult to find due to limited availability of seeds and clones.

Growing Information
Animal Gas is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, requiring attention to detail and proper environmental controls. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor flowering typically spanning 56-63 days (8-9 weeks). Plants exhibit short, bushy growth patterns typical of indica-dominant hybrids, with medium internodal spacing allowing for effective canopy management through training techniques. The strain produces moderate to high yields of dense, resinous flowers when grown under optimal conditions. Growers should maintain stable temperature and humidity levels, with particular attention to preventing late-flower foxtailing under excessive heat. Nutrient management is critical, with organic fertilizers recommended during vegetative growth transitioning to phosphorus and potassium-rich formulas during flowering. High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps or full-spectrum LED setups work best for maximizing resin production. The plants respond well to topping and defoliation to improve light penetration to lower branches.
