The Doctor
Also known as: Canna Doctor
The Doctor Strain Overview
The Doctor is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70-80% indica, 20-30% sativa) meticulously developed by Green House Seeds from the Netherlands. This strain was named in tribute to legendary motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi, whose nickname is "The Doctor," rather than the fictional character from the British television series. The strain represents a three-way genetic cross between Great White Shark, South Indian landrace, and Super Skunk, creating a robust genetic foundation tailored for potent therapeutic effects. Known for its exceptional medicinal properties, The Doctor has gained significant recognition in the medical cannabis community for its ability to address various ailments.
The strain displays medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-typical structure. The flowers are notably compact and deeply furrowed, with tightly-curled leaves that present in dark forest green coloration with occasional purple undertones. Bright orange to rust-colored pistils weave throughout the bud structure, while a generous coating of crystalline white trichomes gives the buds a frosty, resinous appearance. The visual appeal is enhanced by the chunky, oversized leaves that are characteristic of this particular phenotype. The Doctor's aromatic profile is complex and distinctive, combining earthy base notes with skunky, fruity overtones that intensify when the buds are broken apart. The scent profile includes lemony-citrus notes balanced with hashy spice undertones, creating a pungent yet appealing olfactory experience.

The Doctor Strain Growing Information
The Doctor is considered an excellent choice for beginner growers due to its stable genetics and forgiving nature. The strain flowers in approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with many cultivators recommending a minimum of 8 weeks but preferring 9-10 weeks for optimal results. Indoor yields can reach up to 800 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 1,200 grams per plant when flowering finishes at the end of September. The plants require support due to the weight of dense buds and respond well to both Sea of Green (SoG) and Screen of Green (ScrOG) cultivation methods. This strain prefers abundant nutrients but requires careful balance to prevent yellowing. The Doctor can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor cultivation requiring a semi-humid climate and daytime temperatures between 70-80°F. The plants are known for producing large, dense buds with heavy resin production.
