Common SENSimilla EP 18 Greg "Chemdog" Krzanowski, Director of Cultivation at Canna Provisions

Greg Krzanowski, better known as "Chemdog" sets the record straight on the correct spelling of "dog", how he built a brand in the parking lots of Grateful Dead shows, and the importance of the legacy market in the legal cannabis industry. This was a true honor to chat with the dude who created Sour Diesel.

Some of the best herb I've smoked in my 30 years of cannabis use is Sour d, chemdog, Bubba, og kush... Once you've tasted those clean pinine, earthy, sweet terps you'll never want anything else.

I'm 64 and we had "The Briefcase" brought to school when I was around 11. Precursor to D.A.R.E I suppose. That briefcase did more to encourage drugs than discourage them. But I knew I had to get some weed after seeing that joint under glass.

[@jeffhooper3447]

I remember the briefcase around the mid to late 1990s in Canada. They also showed me an animation of a kid taking LSD and I was highly curious to try it from that moment on.

[@clamshell3898]

That briefcase was the beginning of my experimenting after they(cops) came in and hipped us to the dangers of drugs via the case, reefer madness and other ridiculous films, that summer of 1976 between 6th and 7th grade my journey began.

[@TheCfrazier]

I also remember the briefcase, 1992 in 2nd grade. That cop told us to hold the cannabis smoke in as long as you can to really get high. SMH

[@marley1995]

@@TheCfrazier lmao why would he tell you guys that

[@CannaPlanners]

I wanted that briefcase SO BADLY

[@Le_Brick420]

I love it! I have heard the stories over the decades about this mysterious grower called chemdog. It is nice to see an actual face to face interview from this breeder. I like the way Mr. Krzanowski has a check system. It shows that he is into his work and keeps it like filet mignon steak instead of ordinary hamburgers at any old joint. Smoked so many strains from this wonderful gentleman. Thank you all the way from MASS.

[@drewstand5055]

So none of those guys have any idea of the origin of dogbud? I would think the Mass Super skunk was from a early Sensi seeds pop, so that makes you wonder if the dogbud was the same? It makes you wonder what early seed line would produce something called “dogbud”.

[@archimedes1077]

Thanks for creating a wonderful strain. I've enjoyed some amazing chemdog over the years.

[@windycitygarden3463]

Just found the channel - great job capturing history. Perhaps consider, as an interview technique (especially in the era of Zoom interviews), to let the guest speak out a complete thought without interjecting quite as much. Just a thought because Mass G had a lot of interesting info to share and it wasn’t always the clearest because of cross-talk. Otherwise, great job and all the best.

[@CannaPlanners]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on not interrupting, but actual bandwidth for zoom calls sometimes makes things a little harder - especially with our slow VT internet. Appreciate you watching!

I thought I was the bees knees in 2010 when I crossed my ak47 and kali mist years later I found out someone else did too before me haha my opinion some of the best growers have created strains completely unique and just keep it on the low I had a friend old dude he’s been gone awhile now he would cross all these old old landraces from back in the 70s around coots generation dude kept everything to himself and his wife and till this I’ve never smoked such cerebral shit in my life just soared to the sky with that shit big long ass colas not super crystally at all

[@deepblueseeds5563]

OG and sour aren’t from chemdog or a cross of it. Og definitely isn’t its way different and from a different place. Sour could be a chem a D cross but it’s been speculated that is not, and rather like a super skunk hybrid or something.

[@justicebruno5249]

Been afraid 38 yrs in VA. Dad's skunk seeds from California got me going....

[@Mrjboomseedco]

I’ve been trying to hunt down the origins of the first catpiss I’ve heard some stories some you might not want to talk about openly I’ve been growing since 03 and ran through so many strains and all that over that time and a friend gave me a old beat up button baggy with 10 seeds or so so I figured I love going back in time with things so I figured this baggy looks like she’s had some miles on her and I got one going and it turned out to be the rowdiest smelling plant I’ve ever grown nothing like it before smell it out side kind of stink off one plant in a basement ammonia like no other and sticky as a fly ribbon and I tried searching all over to track down the characteristics that matched this down to the t structure color all the and only thing that came back was this catpiss stuff but there’s so little info about it. Anyways love to get my hands on some old school Chem d from my high school days

[@mikehancho1613]

I recently had a plant in my tent the label was lost and with a 3 month cure you pop the top and its straight cat piss 🙀

[@st.fiacre6685]

So how did the speculation of Chemdog being a cross of Thai + Nepalese come into play... was that just a guess?

[@SOLDGREEN]

It’s more likely a northern lights/afghan cross

[@mikehancho1613]

A old friend of mine who is 65 gave me a ammo can of bag seeds he said he collected from the best herb he ever had. If they a viable who knows what could come out of there. He says he knows for a fact some was columbian. Some of the seeds look crazy too not your normal bean.
