Texas Chem Strain

Shoreline OG

The story of Shoreline OG begins with a rare cannabis cultivar known as Texas Shoreline. This classic variety is said to have originated from an old Sensi Skunk strain that was imported to the United States from Amsterdam in the 1980s by a group of growers from Houston, Texas. The cultivar was named “Shoreline” after it was popularized at a Grateful Dead show at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in California. Shoreline promptly gained a following for its sour aroma and potent effects.

Many years later, a cannabis breeder known as Shoreline Genetics obtained a clone of the rare Texas Shoreline strain. He pollinated this legendary strain with three Deadhead OG males from Cali Connection, naming the resulting hybrid “Shoreline OG.” Shoreline OG is a particularly pungent strain that reeks of pine, skunk, burning rubber, and petrol.

Shoreline OG Lineage

Shoreline OG is a hybrid of Texas Shoreline and Deadhead OG. Texas Shoreline is said to be a Skunk No. 1 phenotype from Sensi Seeds. Skunk No. 1, in turn, is believed to be a cross of Afghani, Mexican, Colombian, and Thai landrace strains.

Deadhead OG, Shoreline OG’s father, is a cross of Chem ’91 and San Fernando Valley OG IBL. Chem ’91, the mother of Deadhead OG, is a phenotype of Dog Bud—an enigmatic strain that first made its appearance in Crested Butte, Colorado, during the 1980s. The ancestry of Dog Bud is a mystery. Given its funky and earthy fragrance, some growers think Dog Bud might be a descendant of Skunk No. 1. Others have proposed that it may be a hybrid of Pakistani Kush and Lemon Thai.

Stardawg

Stardawg, the father of Texas Chem, was initially bred by JJ NYC of Top Dawg Seeds and released in 2011. JJ produced Stardawg in hopes of preserving many of the esteemed characteristics of the Chemdawg variety.

JJ created Stardawg by using a male Afghan No. 1 to breed with the Chem D cut. Next, he crossed this hybrid with Chem D two more times to create a Chem D backcross. Lastly, he used this Chem D backcross, Tres Dawg, to pollinate his cut of Chem 4. JJ named his new strain “Stardawg,” possibly due to its abundance of trichomes as white as stars.

Stardawg Lineage

Stardawg is a cross of Chem 4 and Tres Dawg. Tres Dawg, the father of Stardawg, is a Chem D backcross created with an Afghan No. 1 male. Both Chem 4 and Chem D are the offspring of Chemdawg.
