Chem Reserve
Chem Reserve
Also known as: Chem Special Reserve, Chemdawg Reserve
Overview
Chem Reserve is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing two legendary genetics: Chemdawg #4 and Stardawg. This potent strain was originally bred by Aficionado Seeds in California's Emerald Triangle region as part of their Special Reserve project. The breeding aimed to combine Stardawg's powerful structure and resinous profile with the intense floral and lemon characteristics of Chemdawg #4, resulting in an elevated expression of the legendary Chemdawg lineage.
Chem Reserve is characterized by dense, resinous buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes, displaying the classic Chemdawg appearance with light to medium green coloration and vibrant orange pistils. The strain exhibits the distinctive diesel-like aroma that made its parent strains famous, with prominent notes of fuel, earth, and chemicals, complemented by subtle hints of lemon, pine, and slight creaminess. Users report that this strain delivers a complex experience combining cerebral euphoria with physical relaxation, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal applications. The strain is considered relatively rare in the market but has gained recognition for its exceptional quality and potent effects.

Growing Information
Chem Reserve is considered suitable for experienced growers due to its specific requirements. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks (60-70 days) indoors. Indoor yields can reach 14-20 ounces per square meter when grown under optimal conditions. The plants prefer controlled indoor environments with temperatures between 68-80°F and low humidity to prevent mold issues, as the dense, resinous buds can be susceptible to moisture problems. The strain responds well to training techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) and benefits from proper air circulation. Early topping and staking are recommended to maximize yields and manage the plant's structure. Chem Reserve thrives in rich, well-aerated soil or hydroponic systems and requires careful nutrient management throughout its growth cycle.
