Maple Dough
Also known as: Maple Doughnuts, Maple Donut
Maple Dough Strain Overview
Maple Dough is a relatively new hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in North American markets for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known parent strains, creating a genetic profile that combines indica relaxation with sativa cerebral stimulation. While its exact origin story varies among different breeders and cultivators, most sources agree it was first stabilized by boutique breeders seeking to create a strain with distinctive dessert-like aromas.
The strain's name derives from its prominent terpene profile that produces aromas reminiscent of maple syrup and baked dough, creating a sensory experience that many users describe as similar to fresh doughnuts or pastries. Visually, Maple Dough typically produces medium to large-sized buds with dense, resinous structures. The flowers often display a range of green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes that give the buds a frosted appearance.
Cultivation characteristics include a moderate flowering time and reasonable yield potential, making it accessible to growers with intermediate experience. The strain has gained particular attention in regions with strong cannabis culture, though it remains less documented than more established commercial varieties. As with many newer hybrid strains, information about Maple Dough continues to evolve as more cultivators work with its genetics and document their experiences.

Maple Dough Strain Growing Information
Maple Dough is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it prefers a controlled environment to maximize its terpene expression. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them manageable for indoor spaces. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve yield and light penetration.
