Chem Valley Kush
Chem Valley Kush
Also known as: Chem Fernando Valley
Overview
Chem Valley Kush is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain originally bred by Cali Connection Seeds, created by crossing the legendary Chemdawg (specifically the Chem D cut) with San Fernando Valley OG Kush (SFV OG). This potent hybrid represents a fusion of two of California's most revered cannabis genetics, combining the sharp, diesel-fueled characteristics of the Chemdawg line with the resinous, lemon-pine intensity of the OG Kush family. The strain typically exhibits a 60% sativa to 40% indica genetic ratio, resulting in energizing cerebral effects balanced with physical relaxation. Chem Valley Kush is known for its exceptional potency, with THC levels commonly ranging from 18% to an impressive 30%, making it one of the stronger strains available in the cannabis market. The flowers are characterized by their dense, resinous structure despite the sativa genetics, displaying dark forest green coloration with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of golden trichomes. The strain's appearance often features purple hues in the flowers, adding to its visual appeal. Chem Valley Kush has gained recognition for its complex terpene profile and intense aromatic signature, making it a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate loud, gassy strains with depth and character.

Growing Information
Chem Valley Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, recommended for intermediate to advanced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 65-75 days (9-10 weeks) indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late October. Plants can grow quite large, reaching 5-8 feet in height, with thick stems and sturdy structure that responds well to training methods like LST (Low Stress Training), topping, and super cropping. Indoor yields average 500-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-650 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but performs better indoors where climate can be controlled. It prefers Mediterranean-like conditions with temperatures between 70-85°F and humidity levels of 40-70%. The plants develop long, resinous buds with minimal leaf matter, making harvesting relatively easy. Chem Valley Kush requires strong lighting and proper nutrient support to reach its full potential.
