Royal Chemdawg

First cultivated in Washington State, according to Leafly, Royal Chemdawg is the strain this flower carries. Leafly also records the spelling Royal Chemdog.

Chemdawg 91 crossed with Deadhead OG

Both Leafly and AllBud give the parents as Chemdawg 91 and Deadhead OG, and Leafly’s genetics panel shortens the first to Chem 91. Leafly classes Royal Chemdawg as a hybrid yet calls it a true indica at heart despite some sativa in its lineage, and AllBud’s numbers tilt the same way, 60% indica to 40% sativa. A Leafly reviewer writing in June 2026 wonders why it is sometimes sold as a sativa when it leans much more indica; our article on what the three type labels really mean goes through the terms.

Foxtail buds beaded with resin

AllBud describes very dense, lumpy, foxtail-shaped buds in forest green tinged with deep purple, with thick bright orange hairs and a sticky coat of visible resin droplets. The June 2026 reviewer on Leafly describes tasty, diesel-like bright green buds covered in trichomes.

Chemdawg fuel with a creamy lemon-lime twist

Leafly says the strain carries the Chemdawg family’s classic diesel flavour plus a creamy lemon-lime twist, and Leafly’s flavour tags are diesel, strawberry and chemical. AllBud smells skunky lemon-lime with a sharp diesel edge and tastes pungent, skunky diesel, with sweet and sour lemon-lime coming through on the exhale; coffee also turns up among its flavour tags. A February 2015 reviewer on Leafly calls the smell extremely pungent, fruity, skunky and diesel.

A creative head high that settles into the body, as AllBud describes it

AllBud says the high starts almost at once as an uplifting, creative head high with cerebral stimulation and euphoric energy, then fades slowly into deep relaxation with a slightly hazy head before spreading through the body and leaving the user very stoned. Leafly describes a relaxing buzz with a slightly cerebral edge and rates the effects mostly calming, while the 17 reviews on its panel lead with creative, hungry and energetic. Individual Leafly reviewers mention giggles and a mellow but awake feeling (November 2017), a high suited to social gatherings that had them smiling nonstop after about half an hour (January 2019), and a high for body and mind that suits night-time (February 2015).

AllBud calls Royal Chemdawg a powerful strain, with THC usually 19% to 25% on average. Leafly’s 17 ratings average 4.4, and AllBud’s 22 votes average 4.5.
