Underdog by Grow 495
Strong Island’ s own Grow 495 returns with a standout Chem 91 x Top Dawg JJ Purest Indica , aptly named Underdog. This strain blends classic Chem genetics with a bold, spicy indica to amplify its depth and complexity.
Visually, Underdog showcases the signature appeal of Chem’s dense, frosty, and full of character. The aroma profile is pungent and layered, combining notes of Chem, fuel, aged wood, and crisp pinene. On the palate, it delivers a rich, earthy experience, enhanced by spiced caryophyllene flavors reminiscent of cloves and anise, balanced with that unmistakable Chem funk.
The effects are where Underdog truly shines. It delivers a deep body relaxation paired with an uplifting, euphoric cerebral buzz, making it a great choice for a productive start to the day or a midday reset. The smoking experience is bold and potent, with a strong, lingering finish. It performs particularly well in a leaf wrap compared to papers. The high kicks in around 6-7 pulls in, lasting a solid 2.5-3 hours.
Overall, Underdog excels in aroma, taste, and effects, though the smoke experience could be smoother. Major props to Grow 495 for crafting this powerhouse strain.
