Chemo

Chemo, better known by its Canadian moniker UBC Chemo, is a storied Chemo indica that wears its mystery proudly. The original clone’s parentage was never disclosed, though its line has been carried forward in seed form by Jordan of the Islands (Chemo) and Federation Seed Company (UBC Chemo). In the garden it stays compact and almost bonsai-like, with sturdy, woody stalks and tight, resin-caked colas; dialed-in rooms routinely see heavy yields despite the plant’s modest height. Aromas lean foresty and clean—pine needles over damp earth with a dry, woody finish—and the flavor follows suit. Caryophyllene leads the terpene ensemble, with myrcene and pinene close behind. Typical potency ranges from about 17–24% THC, while CBD generally remains below 1%, translating to an unhurried body calm, drowsy contentment, and a notable lift in appetite. Indoors, flowering wraps in roughly 7–9 weeks (49–63 days), and training a broad canopy rewards growers with dense, uniform tops. Fans of classic Pacific Northwest profiles will find Chemo’s understated nose and emphatic, couch-leaning finish satisfyingly old-school. Whether you meet it as Chemo or as UBC Chemo, this legendary BC cut proves that understatement—and a well-kept secret—can still leave a lasting impression. Expect compact plants under 90–120 cm, with generous indoor yields when light intensity and airflow are tuned.
