King Dawg
Also known as: King Dog, Kingdawg
What is the King Dawg strain?
King Dawg is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
King Dawg is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, but it is generally accepted to be a cross between Chemdawg 91 and an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly a phenotype of OG Kush or a related variety. This genetic combination results in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both its parent lineages, offering users a complex experience that blends cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.
Visually, King Dawg typically produces dense, resinous buds that are medium to large in size with a structure that leans slightly toward the indica side. The flowers are often a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature prominent orange pistils that contrast sharply against the green background. The strain's name references both its potent effects and its distinctive aroma, which many users describe as having a 'dog-like' quality.
King Dawg is known for its complex terpene profile that creates a unique sensory experience. The aroma is often described as pungent and skunky with strong diesel undertones, complemented by earthy and pine notes. When consumed, users typically report a flavor that mirrors the aroma, with additional hints of citrus and spice on the exhale. The strain has gained a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts for its reliable effects and consistent quality, though like many cannabis strains, its exact characteristics can vary somewhat between different phenotypes and growing conditions.

How do you grow King Dawg?
King Dawg is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited 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 growers can expect medium to high yields, with proper cultivation techniques producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. King Dawg plants tend to be medium in height, typically reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. They prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outside. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot, particularly in dense colas. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and improve light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plants develop their dense, resinous buds.
