Also known as: Chem #91, Chemdog 91, Chemdawg 91, 91 Chemdawg, Chem Dawg 91
Overview
Chem 91, also known as "Chem #91," "Chemdog 91," and "Chemdawg 91," is a hybrid marijuana strain that is thought to be an offshoot of the original Chemdog strain, and the numerical addition of "91" is believed to reference the year the strain first came into existence. According to cannabis legend, in 1991 legendary breeder "Chemdawg" attended a Grateful Dead show and met dealers who sold him an ounce containing 13 seeds, from which he grew the first four seeds that became "Chem 91," "Chem A," and "Chem B" phenotypes.
Much like many other members of the Chemdog line, the origins of Chem #91 are shrouded in mystery, though rumor has it that the lineage was first cultivated by the illustrious East Coast breeder who also goes by the name of Chemdog, and some speculate it descends from a Thai landrace strain. Some growers believe Chem 91 to be a cross between Chemdog and Skunk, which may explain its particularly pungent aroma. Chem 91 is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain often said to be the parent or family of the infamous Chemdawg strain. In true family spirit, this hybrid has a very strong diesel smell with a piney-lemon aftertaste.
The strain has medium size buds covered with orange hairs and specks of white crystals, appearing as dense and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance with colors ranging from lime to dark green, with bright orange pistils weaving through the buds.

Growing Information
With a flowering time of 9-10 weeks indoors and an outdoor harvest as late as early November, Chemdawg 91 is not a quick grow but plants have an average to high yield. Indoor cultivators can expect up to 15 ounces per square meter when using proper training techniques and optimal growing conditions, while outdoor growers with ample space and a favorable climate can achieve even higher yields of up to 19 ounces per plant. Chemdawg 91 thrives in a sunny and dry outdoor climate, with optimal temperatures between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit or 21-27 degrees Celsius and proper ventilation to avoid heat stress. Whether cultivated indoors or outdoors, this strain has a pungency that makes discretion difficult. Expert gardeners claim that cultivating this strain is of moderate difficulty, as due to its Sativa lineage, it is a tall plant of 60''-80'' indoors and exceeding 90'' outdoors that requires pruning and bending in the vegetative stage to keep it manageable.
