UBC Chemo
UBC Chemo, or simply Chemo, is a historic, clone-only hybrid cultivar originating from the University of British Columbia, recognized for its pungent aromatic profile and reported effects of euphoria and deep relaxation.
About UBC Chemo
UBC Chemo has a storied and somewhat debated history, with its origins widely attributed to research conducted by Dr. David Suzuki at the University of British Columbia during the 1960s or 1970s. Originally a clone-only selection, the strain was intended to assist patients in managing the side effects associated with chemotherapy. Since its inception, breeders including Federation Seeds and BC Bud Depot have produced stabilized versions of these genetics. The cultivar is characterized by a pungent, complex aroma featuring notes of ammonia, apricot, pine, and damp forest floor. On the palate, these intense scents transition into a woody flavor profile accented by mild pine, citrus, and subtle hints of pepper. Users report an initial euphoric, creative lift that gradually settles into a state of deep, heavy relaxation.
Plant characteristics
UBC Chemo is a clone-only cultivar reported to be adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments, capable of withstanding both cooler temperatures and intense summer heat. When grown indoors, the plant reaches maturity in 49 to 56 days, while outdoor harvests typically occur in mid-October. Under ideal conditions, the strain is capable of producing large yields.
