Indica

Also known as: Dumbo OG

What is the Dumbo strain?

Dumbo is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

Dumbo is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, who crossed the genetics of OG Kush with an unknown indica strain to create this unique variety. The name 'Dumbo' is believed to reference the strain's ability to produce large, elephant-ear shaped leaves and buds, though some sources suggest it may also allude to the 'dumbfounding' intensity of its effects. The strain first appeared in the cannabis market in the early 2010s and has since become a favorite among indica enthusiasts for its reliable performance and consistent characteristics.

Visually, Dumbo plants typically produce dense, chunky buds that are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating an attractive contrast. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle hints of citrus and diesel, which become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart or ground.

Dumbo is known for its powerful, long-lasting effects that are predominantly physical in nature. The high typically begins with a cerebral uplift that quickly transitions into deep body relaxation. Due to its high THC content, Dumbo is considered a potent strain that may be overwhelming for novice users. The strain has gained a reputation among medical cannabis patients for its potential therapeutic benefits, though these claims are based on user reports rather than clinical research. Cultivators appreciate Dumbo for its relatively straightforward growing requirements and generous yields.

How do you grow Dumbo?

Dumbo is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October. Dumbo plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, usually reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Dumbo responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The plants produce dense, resinous buds that are susceptible to mold and mildew in humid conditions, so proper airflow and humidity control are essential. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
