Junk Yard Dawg
Also known as: JYD, Junk Yard Dog
Junk Yard Dawg Strain Overview
Junk Yard Dawg is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the potent effects of classic indica genetics with the cerebral stimulation of sativa varieties. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it gained popularity through underground networks before becoming more widely available in legal markets. The name reflects its robust, resilient nature and somewhat unrefined appearance that belies its complex effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The buds are often quite resinous, making them sticky to the touch and requiring careful handling during processing.
Notable features of Junk Yard Dawg include its distinctive aroma profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its ability to provide both physical relaxation and mental stimulation without overwhelming sedation. Its resilience makes it suitable for various growing conditions, though it performs particularly well in controlled indoor environments where its characteristics can be optimized. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Junk Yard Dawg has maintained a consistent following in regions where it is available.

Junk Yard Dawg Strain Growing Information
Junk Yard Dawg is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain produces medium to high yields, with indoor grows yielding approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as they can become heavy with resinous flowers. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
