It is no surprise that this is a strain highly coveted by breeders who claims she grows similar to Sour Diesel but with more ease and vigor. Bud appearance is dense with large, fluffy light-green calyx and few sprays dark red pistils sprinkled across a blanket of crystal trichomes. Growers can expect a 9-10 week flowering period and a moderate to high yield.

Effects
Chem 4 is a fabulously versatile strain. Quick onset of effects arrives as a head high and transforms into a heavy body high balanced with happy, uplifting cerebrals. Her effects are that of a true hybrid, stoney but functional, euphoric yet calming. Happy, uplifted mental effects at the onset help lift the user out of lower emotional states, making this a great strain to unwind with after a long or stressful day. Her long-lasting effects allow for a full evening of gentle relaxation without significant burnout. This strain can be used at any time of the day if one can block out a good 2.5-3 hours for its effects to subside.
Medical Uses
Chem 4 is a medically renowned strain with a variety of applications. Stress is effectively lessened by its potent dose of gentle relaxation while depression is managed by its happy and mood elevating head high. A great strain for pain and muscle relaxation, Chem 4’s long-lasting body high can mask most sources of discomfort without substantially sedating the user. Due to its sheer potency Chem 4 can be used to treat insomnia, although for sleep applications we suggest combining with a strain that offers more narcotic qualities and a heavier body high such as Ghost OG or Louis XIII. Chem 4 is also a wonderful strain to combine with 1:1 CBD/THC ratio strains like Pure Love or Z7. Adding a dose of a high-CBD strain will help uplift the user into a more functional high. Chem 4 suddenly transforms into a great daytime therapeutic dynamo that clears the mind and amplifies painkilling properties.
