Mad Dawg
Mad Dawg
Also known as: Mad Dog
Overview
Mad Dawg is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by the UK-based breeder Dank Genetics. This strain was developed as a cross between Starfighter and Lemon Alien Dawg, combining genetics from two well-regarded parent strains to create a unique and potent variety. The name reflects the strain's intense effects and robust nature, though contrary to its aggressive moniker, Mad Dawg offers a balanced and enjoyable experience rather than overwhelming intensity.
The strain exhibits typical hybrid characteristics with bright green nugs accented by orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. Mad Dawg is known for its distinctive aromatic profile that blends earthy pine with sweet mint undertones, complemented by a secondary layer of diesel and lemon notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart. The flavor profile mirrors these aromatic qualities, delivering earthy and diesel tones with a notable lemony citrus aftertaste.
Mad Dawg demonstrates good cultivation characteristics, including faster vegetative growth and more robust flower development compared to its parent strains. The strain typically flowers in approximately 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) and can be successfully grown both indoors and outdoors, though it may require some experience to achieve optimal results.
