What is the A-Dub strain?
A-Dub is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
A-Dub is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain that was originally bred in California as a cross between Sour Double (itself a cross of Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble) and Alien Dawg (a combination of Alien Technology and Chemdawg). This indica-dominant hybrid exhibits an 80% indica and 20% sativa genetic composition, though some genetic studies suggest A-Dub carries nearly a 50/50 split between indica and sativa influences. In 2014, High Times magazine named A-Dub the second-strongest strain on Earth, placing it second in their "Earth's Strongest Strains" list, establishing its reputation among cannabis connoisseurs for exceptional potency.
Physically, A-Dub is distinguished by well-formed flowers that tend to have chunky, irregular shapes with indica-influenced structure and small leaves that curl tightly inward toward a compact center. The leaves themselves are a bland shade of olive green and are twisted through with orange and brown pistils. A high concentration of cloudy white trichomes cover the inner and outer nooks and crannies of these buds, appearing as long and dense spade-shaped dusty green nugs with golden undertones, thin orange hairs and a coating of frosty, golden-amber crystal trichomes. Unlike strains with splashy Cup wins and marketing campaigns, A-Dub built its reputation via word of mouth, well-reviewed dispensary batches, and cross-pollination among experienced growers, explaining why the strain remains prized but relatively scarce outside core markets.

This indica lineage also implies a short flowering time of about 9 weeks. Flowering time is average, with an eight-to-nine-week flowering cycle. Growing notes suggest that A-Dub grows easily inside or out, delivering high yields during this flowering period. A-Dub grows as a vigorous hybrid with moderate stretch, generally 1.5 to 2 times after the flip to 12 hours. Growers should start with higher humidity during the growing phase (around 70%), gradually lowering humidity in 5% increments to 30%-40% as the flowering stage is reached.
