Gnar Dog
Also known as: Gnar Dawg, Gnar Dog Kush
Gnar Dog Strain Overview
Gnar Dog is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Its name likely references both its 'gnarly' appearance—characterized by dense, resinous buds—and its lineage connection to the popular Dog family of strains, though this connection is not definitively established by all sources.
The plant typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes and orange pistils. The buds are known for being particularly dense and sticky, with a complex aroma that combines fuel-like, earthy, and sweet notes. While not widely commercially available, Gnar Dog has maintained a cult following among growers and users who appreciate its balanced yet powerful effects and unique terpene expression.
Due to its limited commercial distribution, much of the information about Gnar Dog comes from grower reports and user experiences rather than formal laboratory testing or breeder documentation. The strain is sometimes confused with or considered a phenotype variation of other 'Dog' strains, contributing to some inconsistency in reported characteristics. Enthusiasts value it for what they describe as a well-rounded experience that combines physical relaxation with mental stimulation.

Gnar Dog Strain Growing Information
Gnar Dog is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually 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 plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though they may require some training to manage height in confined spaces. They prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield and manage canopy. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as Gnar Dog can be sensitive to overfeeding.
