Chemborne 13 by Lucky Dog Seed Co
Chem family genetics × Indica-leaning partner (potential Afghan or Kush)
Chemborne 13 is a predominantly indica cannabis cultivar developed by Lucky Dog Seed Co., a breeder recognized for its work with Chem family genetics. This strain is appreciated for its manageable plant structure and consistently dense, resin-rich buds, aiming to blend classic Chem aromas with productive cultivation traits.
Appearance and Structure
Chemborne 13 produces stacked, dense colas resembling golf balls or spears, characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The buds are compact and easy to trim, with sugar leaves that fit snugly against the bracts. Mature flowers typically display saturated green hues, sometimes with purple undertones, especially when exposed to cooler night temperatures.
Vivid tangerine to burnt orange pistils contrast sharply with the abundant trichome coverage, which gives the buds a frosted, crystalline appearance. As resin production peaks, the prominent gland heads create a lacquered sheen, contributing to a visually appealing presentation.
Aroma and Flavor
True to its Chem heritage, Chemborne 13 is noted for its potent, penetrating aroma, often described as fuel-forward with skunky undertones. The scent profile is complex, incorporating elements that evoke diesel, earthiness, and pungent notes.
The flavor follows the aroma, delivering a distinct diesel character complemented by citrusy hints of lemon and orange. Earthy and pine notes are also present, with a peppery finish that adds to the overall pungent experience.
Effects
Chemborne 13 is reported to deliver a strong, calming body effect, characteristic of its indica dominance. While specific details on onset and duration are not provided, the strain is generally associated with a sense of tranquility.
This cultivar is also noted for promoting focus, offering a balanced experience that combines physical relaxation with mental clarity. Its effects are thought to be beneficial for managing stress.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab percentages are not detailed, Chemborne 13 is known for its high resin production, consistent with Chem-derived strains. Reports suggest that total terpene content in similar cultivars frequently ranges from 1.5% to 3.0% by weight.
THC levels in Chemborne 13 are generally found within the 18% to 26% range, with occasional batches exceeding 28%. CBD content is typically less than 1%.
Growing Characteristics
Chemborne 13 is described as having an approachable structure, with growers valuing its compact frame, rapid vegetative growth, and reliably dense flowers. It typically finishes flowering within an eight-to-nine-week period, making it suitable for multiple harvests per year.
The plant exhibits strong lateral branching and responds well to training techniques. Its resin density and heavy calyx swell are notable, making it a favored choice for extraction artists. The cultivar is known for consistency across various growing environments.
Origins and Lineage
Chemborne 13 was bred by Lucky Dog Seed Co., a breeder known for preserving and refining Chem family genetics. The name signifies its direct connection to the Chem lineage, which is famous for its distinctive fuel and skunk aromatics.
While the exact parentage remains undisclosed by the breeder, the cultivar is believed to be a cross between a Chem-dominant strain and an indica-leaning partner, possibly of Afghan or Kush origin. This combination aims to enhance resin production and shorten flowering time while retaining the signature Chem profile.
