How to grow Alchemy
Taste
Seb's take
Chemdawg crossed with Querkle, and the name undersells what's essentially a chemistry lesson in cheese, blueberry and citrus. The high runs motivating and focused before turning talkative, a touch dizzy, properly euphoric — useful for pain, and certain to bring the munchies along. Fans of either parent will recognise the handwriting.
Where it comes from
Chemdawg crossed with Querkle, which is TGA Subcool doing what the label did best: taking a pungent chemical parent and marrying it to a sweeter, purple-fruited one. Chemdawg brings the fuel and the loud edge; Querkle, the blueberry and the colour. The name promises transformation, and the cross more or less delivers it, a chemistry set of a plant, half incense and half fruit. Offered as regular seed, so growers minded to breed from her have males to work with.
Nose & flavour
A busy nose, and a contradictory one: cheese and chemical fuel on one side, blueberry and citrus on the other, all set over earth. It should not work, and yet it does, the fruit keeping the funk honest and the funk keeping the fruit from turning sweet. Fans of either parent will recognise the handwriting at once. Not a subtle aroma, but a memorable one.
The high
Motivating and focused at the outset, the sort of lift that gets something done, before it loosens into talkative, euphoric, faintly dizzy company. It is a sociable high with a working head on it, at least until the second one. And it will bring an appetite along, so keep something to hand. At a little over 21% THC, capable of more than it first lets on.
Growing it
The record is thin on the numbers here, so I will keep to what it gives. Flowering runs to 69 days, a middling window that suits her fifty-fifty balance, but no height or yield is recorded, and I will not invent either. What I can offer is temperament: a regular-seed variety, which means males in the pack and a plant fit for a breeder's bench as much as a grower's tent. At 21.5% THC with a trace of CBD, she carries her strength plainly. Judge her structure in the room rather than on paper.
