Honey Dough
Also known as: Honey Dough OG
Honey Dough Strain Overview
Honey Dough is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular West Coast varieties: Wedding Cake and Gelato #33. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with the balanced effects of Gelato. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Honey Dough has gained recognition for its unique terpene profile and reliable effects.
The strain's name derives from its distinctive appearance and aroma. The dense, resin-coated buds typically display a pale green coloration with occasional purple hues, covered in amber pistils and a generous dusting of trichomes that give the flowers a sticky, dough-like texture. The visual presentation is complemented by a complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, doughy notes with earthy undertones and subtle hints of citrus.
Honey Dough plants exhibit a balanced growth pattern with characteristics inherited from both parent strains. The plants tend to develop a robust structure with strong lateral branching, making them suitable for various cultivation techniques. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its versatile effects and appealing sensory characteristics.

Honey Dough Strain Growing Information
Honey Dough is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize light penetration and yield.
