Crash Test Dummy
Also known as: CTD
Crash Test Dummy Strain Overview
Crash Test Dummy is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossing of two notable parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Stardawg. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s from the collaborative efforts of breeders seeking to combine the potent effects and resin production of Gorilla Glue #4 with the distinctive terpene profile and cerebral qualities of Stardawg. Its name reflects the powerful, sometimes overwhelming effects that users report, particularly in higher doses, which can leave one feeling temporarily incapacited or 'crashed' in a state of deep relaxation.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica-dominant Gorilla Glue #4 lineage. The flowers are often medium to large in size, displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, which are heavily coated in milky-white trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma is complex, blending fuel-like, earthy notes from Stardawg with the sweet, piney undertones characteristic of Gorilla Glue #4.
Crash Test Dummy has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely commercially available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's effects are typically described as initially cerebral and euphoric, followed by a strong body relaxation that can become sedative in higher doses. Its resin production makes it popular among concentrate producers, though consumers should be aware of its high THC content and approach consumption cautiously, especially if inexperienced.

Crash Test Dummy Strain Growing Information
Crash Test Dummy is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Yields are generally above average, with indoor growers reporting 450-550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with vertical limitations. Crash Test Dummy responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen and proper flushing before harvest to optimize flavor and smoothness.
