What are chemical varieties?

Chemical strains, which are known for their pungent, fuel-like aromas, are just as popular as Diesel strains. These intense terpene profiles give the strains an unmistakable smell and taste that is clearly different from fruity or sweet strains.

Chemical strains are often hybrid strains with a powerful effect that combine both euphoric and relaxing effects. Many of these strains are descended from legendary strains such as Chemdawg or Sour Diesel.

Typical properties of chemical varieties:

• Strong fuel or chemical aroma
• Often hybrid with high THC content
• Mental clarity combined with physical relaxation
• Dense, resinous flowers with intense terpenes
