Dawg Ripper
Also known as: Dawg Ripper OG, Dawg Ripper Kush
What is the Dawg Ripper strain?
Dawg Ripper is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Dawg Ripper is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain represents a carefully selected cross between Chemdawg and an unknown OG Kush phenotype, though some sources suggest additional genetic contributions from other West Coast classics. Breeders aimed to create a strain that combined the cerebral intensity of Chemdawg with the physical relaxation and distinctive flavor profile of OG Kush varieties. The strain gained popularity among experienced consumers seeking strong effects and complex terpene profiles.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a classic OG structure with slight foxtailing. The flowers typically exhibit deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, which are heavily coated in milky-white trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The buds are known for their sticky texture and pungent aroma that fills the air when handled.
Dawg Ripper has maintained a cult following rather than achieving widespread commercial distribution, making it somewhat rare outside of certain West Coast markets and specialty dispensaries. The strain is particularly noted for its balanced hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Growers appreciate its resilience and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements compared to some other OG varieties.

How do you grow Dawg Ripper?
Dawg Ripper is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns with moderate stretching during the flowering phase, reaching heights of 120-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Dawg Ripper responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation may enhance the terpene profile. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training can improve light penetration and increase yields. The plants require good air circulation and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during late flowering to encourage color development.
