About These Strains

Chemdawg

Hybrid 60/40 — THC 17–21%

With a near-even balance between sativa and indica (sativa/indica ratio of 45/55), Chemdawg, also known as Chemdog, delivers on both fronts. A clear cerebral high drives creativity while a stony, sleepy body high fights insomnia and relaxes the muscles.

This strain has THC levels up to 19%, meaning it's more potent than most.

G13

Indica 70/30 — THC 22–24%

G13, also known as “ G-13” or “Government Indica Strain 1,” is an indica dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) strain with unknown parentage. This bud is rumored to have been created by the US Government during the 60's and 70's when they were experimenting with growing native Afghani weed strains for “medical” purposes.

Despite its confusing origins, G13 is definitely one bud that you should try at least once in your life, especially given its powerful effects and insanely potent 24% average THC level.
