L.A. Dog
Also known as: LA Dog, Los Angeles Dog
L.A. Dog Strain Overview
L.A. Dog is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, specifically the Los Angeles area, during the early 2010s. The strain represents a carefully crafted cross between two notable parent strains, combining the cerebral effects of sativa genetics with the physical relaxation of indica heritage. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat undocumented in formal cannabis literature, L.A. Dog gained popularity through the California medical cannabis community before spreading to recreational markets following legalization.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance with deep forest green coloration contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds typically have a moderately dense structure that breaks apart easily, revealing complex aromatic profiles upon grinding. L.A. Dog has maintained consistent popularity in California markets and has gradually spread to other legal cannabis markets across North America.
Notable features of L.A. Dog include its balanced effects profile that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users, along with its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements that make it accessible to growers of various experience levels. The strain's name reflects both its geographic origins and the 'dog' suffix common in cannabis nomenclature, though the specific inspiration for the 'Dog' portion remains uncertain. As with many West Coast strains, L.A. Dog represents the innovative breeding work that characterized California's cannabis culture during the medical marijuana era.

L.A. Dog Strain Growing Information
L.A. Dog is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, with indoor cultivation allowing better control over the environment. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them manageable for indoor spaces with limited vertical room. L.A. Dog responds well to various training techniques including topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants prefer stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold issues. Some phenotypes may require additional support during late flowering as buds can become quite dense and heavy.
