The Dude
Also known as: White Russian
The Dude Strain Overview
The Dude, also known as White Russian, is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created by Aficionado Seed Bank through crossing the classic White Widow and AK-47 strains. This legendary combination brings together White Widow's notorious potency with AK-47's powerful cerebral effects, resulting in a strain that embodies the laid-back, carefree nature referenced by its name inspired by 'The Big Lebowski.' Originally bred by Serious Seeds as White Russian, this strain gained recognition by winning 1st place at the 1996 HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup and 2nd place the following year.
The Dude produces dense, medium-sized buds with a compact structure featuring vivid combinations of deep green, purple, and orange hues beautifully intertwined with bright orange pistils. A generous dusting of white trichomes adds a frosty shimmer, highlighting the strain's exceptional potency and quality. The visual appeal is enhanced by minimal leaf coverage and heavy resin production, making it ideal for concentrate production. With consistently high THC levels ranging from 24-26% and minimal CBD content, The Dude delivers a powerful yet manageable experience that has earned it legendary status among cannabis connoisseurs.
