Original Dankster
Also known as: Dankster OG, Original Dank
Original Dankster Strain Overview
Original Dankster is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by underground breeders seeking to create a plant that combined the cerebral effects of sativas with the physical relaxation of indicas, resulting in a versatile cultivar that gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. Its name reflects both its heritage in 'dank' cannabis culture and its status as an original creation rather than a simple clone of existing popular strains.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance with deep green foliage accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds typically have a compact structure with a moderate calyx-to-leaf ratio, making them relatively easy to trim. Original Dankster plants produce a distinctive aroma that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes, with some phenotypes exhibiting subtle diesel undertones.
Original Dankster has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis market despite not achieving mainstream commercial popularity. The strain is particularly noted for its balanced effects and reliable performance, making it a favorite among growers seeking consistent results. While specific breeding records are not always well-documented in the underground market where it originated, Original Dankster has influenced several subsequent hybrid developments and remains available through select seed banks and clone providers.

Original Dankster Strain Growing Information
Original Dankster is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-6 feet when grown outdoors, with indoor plants remaining more compact at 3-4 feet. Original Dankster responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and diseases.
