Historical sample observations
A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. Chemdawg is a cannabis strain that is so classic that it gave rise to other classics such as OG Kush and Sour Diesel. Today on the archive the archive are taking a look at this strain in a bit more detail in the archive's exclusive Chemdawg strain review. \nIn the reviewer's video review today the reviewer was taking a look at this old school cannabis strain as the reviewer try to get an idea of the appearance, smell, taste and effects of Chemdawg. \n\n[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1915"] Chemdawg Cannabis Strain[/caption]\n Appearance: \nChemdawg is a vibrant green, with almost over-developed looking buds that don't look so neatly wrapped around each other like some of the other strains the reviewer had sampled recently. The trichomes are very visible.\n\nThis particular batch didn't have the trim job the reviewer was expecting, with popcorn leaf in fair supply around the bud which made it seem like more of a commercial trim job than a professional one.\n Smell \nAn earthy, diesel smell is given off from the buds which gets more apparent when they're broken up or ground.\n\nMy favourite thing about the Chemdawg strain is the smell which does not disappoint. Just smelling this phenotype gave the reviewer the impression that it was cured properly, something which the taste later showed overwise.\n Taste \nThe taste of Chemdawg apparently is full of diesel and earthy notes, although the reviewer didn't get this so much from this particular batch.\n\nI was disappointed with the taste compared to the smell of this strain. the reviewer put this down to it not being cured for long enough, meaning the taste didn't come through enough through the reviewer's bong.\n\nIt did taste particularly smooth and fresh, so the reviewer think had been flushed correctly, it just could have done with an extra few weeks in a curing jar for optimum flavour.\n Effects \nChemdawg is a hybrid strain so will give the consumer effects found in both indica and sativa cannabis varieties including relaxation, euphoria and creativity.\n\nThe Chemdawg strain review left the reviewer feeling the hybrid effects. According to leafly and a cannabinoid test report the reviewer read doing research before the video, can contain around 16-28% THC, and this batch felt like it was on the more potent side.\n\nI got a nice relaxed feeling coupled with happiness that just added to the enjoyment of the reviewer's morning.\n\n[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1512"] Chemdawg Bud close-up[/caption]\n Overall \nI love cannabis history, and getting hold of some Chemdawg to sample was a real treat. Despite this batch not being at optimal quality, the genetics of the Chemdawg strain are fantastic if you're into your old school cannabis strains.\n
