SoCal Dawg
Also known as: SoCal Dog
SoCal Dawg Strain Overview
SoCal Dawg is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by SoCal Seed Collective. This strain represents a fascinating lineage project, being created from a cross between ChemD Clone and ChemD Male, essentially being a selfed Chemdawg line that preserves the potent genetics of the legendary Chemdog lineage. The strain maintains the classic diesel fuel aroma and robust effects that made its parent strain famous in cannabis history. With approximately 60% indica genetics and 40% sativa, SoCal Dawg offers a balanced hybrid experience that leans toward relaxation while maintaining cerebral clarity.
As part of the broader Chemdog genetic family, SoCal Dawg carries forward the mysterious legacy of one of cannabis's most influential strains. The original Chemdog reportedly originated from seeds found in high-quality bag seed purchased at a Grateful Dead concert in the early 1990s, making SoCal Dawg part of this legendary lineage. The strain exhibits the characteristic pungent, diesel-like aroma with earthy undertones that Chemdog genetics are renowned for. SoCal Seed Collective has positioned this strain as a keeper of classic genetics while offering growers access to stable, reproducible plants that maintain the desirable traits of their famous ancestors.

SoCal Dawg is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate to experienced growers.
