What is the Dough Boy strain?

Dough Boy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and diesel flavor profile.

Dough Boy is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeders at Exotic Genetix. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as part of the cookie family lineage that became popular in the West Coast cannabis scene. Its creation involved crossing two notable strains: Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies and a selected male from the Exotic Genetix breeding program, though some sources suggest it may also involve OG Kush genetics. The strain gained attention for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.

The strain's name derives from its distinctive appearance and aroma. Dough Boy buds are typically dense and chunky, with a structure that resembles raw cookie dough. The coloration is a vibrant mix of deep green and purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the buds a sugary, dough-like appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense buds, creating visual contrast. The strain's buds are known for their sticky resin production, which can make handling and preparation somewhat challenging but contributes to its potency.

Dough Boy is recognized for its complex terpene profile that combines sweet, earthy, and doughy notes with subtle gas undertones. The strain has become a favorite among connoisseurs for its smooth smoke and long-lasting effects. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Dough Boy maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in legal markets where exotic genetics are valued. Breeders continue to work with Dough Boy genetics to create new hybrid variations.

Outdoor plants are ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates.

Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
