What is the The Doctor strain?
The Doctor is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its calm effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
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.

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.
