Also known as: Sit Ubu Sit
What is the ShortDog strain?
ShortDog is a indica cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and chemical and diesel flavor profile.
ShortDog is a rare, mostly indica strain bred by Short-Sleeved Magician, an Oregon-based cannabis breeder established in 2003. The strain represents a unique approach to breeding, being described as essentially a BX1 (backcross generation 1) of the legendary Chemdog 91 line. This means ShortDog was created by crossing Chemdog 91 with one of its offspring, concentrating the Chemdog genetics while maintaining a faster flowering profile. The breeder is known for their motto "I cut a hole in my roof in the shape of a heart" and specializes in Chemdog-related genetics, creating various "Dog" named strains including BirdDog, JunkyardDog, and Downward Dog. As a boutique strain with limited availability, ShortDog represents the underground breeding scene's dedication to preserving and refining classic genetics. The strain's development reflects the ongoing evolution of Chemdog genetics, which originated from seeds found at a Grateful Dead concert in 1991 and went on to become foundational genetics for many modern strains including OG Kush and Sour Diesel.

How do you grow ShortDog?
ShortDog is designed for indoor cultivation with a notably short flowering time of approximately 55 days, making it suitable for growers seeking faster harvests. The strain maintains the compact, indica-dominant growth pattern typical of Chemdog genetics while offering reduced flowering time compared to the original Chemdog 91. This makes it attractive for growers with height limitations or those preferring shorter cycles. The strain has never been available in feminized seed form, meaning growers must work with regular seeds and sex their plants. As a boutique strain from a small breeder, cultivation information is limited and availability is rare. Growing difficulty is considered moderate, suitable for intermediate to advanced growers familiar with Chemdog genetics.
