Dolemite OG
Also known as: Dolemite OG Kush
Dolemite OG Strain Overview
Dolemite OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain's name references the 1975 blaxploitation film 'Dolemite' starring Rudy Ray Moore, reflecting the strain's potent, dramatic effects and its cultural connection to the era. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources indicate it was developed through selective breeding of OG Kush phenotypes, with some suggesting possible Afghani landrace influences in its lineage. The strain gained popularity primarily in California and Nevada before spreading to other legal markets.
Dolemite OG is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. The strain produces a generous coating of milky-white trichomes that give the buds a frosty appearance, along with vibrant orange pistils that weave through the dense flower structure. The buds are known for their rock-hard density and sticky resin production, making them challenging to break apart by hand.
Notable features of Dolemite OG include its complex aromatic profile and long-lasting effects. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation, though it leans heavily toward indica characteristics as the experience progresses. While not as widely available as some mainstream OG varieties, Dolemite OG maintains a dedicated following among those who appreciate its unique combination of classic OG traits with distinctive flavor nuances.

Dolemite OG Strain Growing Information
Dolemite OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact for an indica, reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a 1-2 week flush before harvest.
