Black D.O.G cannabis or Black Dog strain was created by legendary growers Humboldt Seed Organization (HSO seeds). It’s a cross between Blackberry Kush leafly and Emerald Headband. It’s famous for its taste and potency, which puts it squarely into the dankenstein family. A dankenstein strain is one that crosses two or more dank strains together to create one crazy strain. Black D.O.G. is definitely that, and, although it’s Indica-dominant, it has a cerebral buzz.

Black Dog strain is sometimes called Black Dawg, Blackberry Dog, Emdog Strain, Black OG Kush, or Black OG strain. 

Looking for the best way to enjoy your Black Dog Strain? Whether you prefer dry flower vaping or sending your concentrates up into smoke, the Crafty Vaporizer from Storz & Bickel is one of the best vaporizers you can get your hands on. It even includes a grinder, so you truly just need your flower and the vape and you're good to go!

Black D.O.G. weed strain: Indica or Sativa? 

Black Dog strain is officially an Indica strain, but it is 90% leaning, meaning you can expect a slight cerebral buzz. With the 10% Sativa in there, D.O.G. Black is beautifully balanced. The name comes from the dark purple leaves that grow on this marijuana plant and the fact that it’s a Blackberry Kush cross. This strain is a great example of an indica that can be used for many different medicinal purposes, which will be discussed a little further on in the article.
 

Black D.O.G. strain genetics

This strain was originally created by Humboldt Seed Organization (HSO seeds), which comes from the beautiful green hills of northern California. HSO is master breeders and is known across the world for its beautifully crafted strains. This makes their brand name a stamp of quality, and you know that if you’re smoking one of their strains you’re going to have a good time. Black Dog strain is thought to be a cross between:
 

• Blackberry Kush
• Emerald Headband

For a dankenstein strain like Black Dog you may want a super durable bong that you don't have to worry about once you've hit it a few times. Not only is the Silicone Beaker Bong from Grasscity one of the most durable out there, it's also super easy to clean. This light-weight bong is easy to have around the house or take out on adventures with your friends.

Black D.O.G. strain THC percentage

The average Indica strain has around 12.5% THC content. The average for Black Dog strain is closer to 16%, whereas the strongest phenotypes can test up to 21%. This is pretty strong but is by no means the strongest available on the market. However, this may induce uncomfortable levels of couch lock on stoners with a little less tolerance. If this is the case, then follow this guide so you can pull yourself up from the couch:
 

• Take a cold shower
• Drink a hot coffee

 
After this, you should feel less high and far more motivated. If this doesn’t work, then maybe indicas aren’t for you. Unless of course you enjoy being glued to the couch, in which case take away!

Black Dog strain price

Thankfully, the cannabis seeds for Black Dog strain are available online from the original seller. What does this mean for the price? Well, if a strain is clone-only, or the seeds are nearly impossible to come by, then the price is generally a lot higher. That is because people can’t grow the strain themselves and dispensaries and coffee shops may struggle to find it. Thus, the supply is much lower. However, Black Dog Weed is available online and is unlikely to cost any more than $10 a gram regardless of which zip code or continent you're in/on.

Not all spoon pipes are created equal. Fully aware of this, the creators over at Marley Natural crafted this beautiful glass and wood spoon pipe for those who want to elevate their sessions. With a super deep bowl, this environmentally friendly (no plastic!) pipe can accompany you on all of your adventures.

We highly recommend checking out @marleynatural on ig. It's good vibes all around.

Black D.O.G. strain taste 

As Black D.O.G. is a Blackberry Kush cross, you can expect a very fruity taste. If you want to truly experience the taste of this strain, it’s highly recommended that you bring out your trusty flower vaporizer, and give it a toot. This is because there’s no combustion of the plant material; it’s simply vaporized instead. This gives a much better taste than if you were to light it up and smoke it normally. You should consider grinding your weed first, as this allows the full flavor to be released. The taste profile of Black D.O.G. is:
 

• Earthy
• Berry
• Pine

Black D.O.G. strain oil, wax, shatter, edibles, etc.

If you want to make concentrates, then you should definitely be careful. Creating Butane Hash Oils yourself is considered to be dangerous, and should only be undertaken if you know what you’re doing. If you don’t know what you’re doing then you should definitely consider visiting North America to try these concentrates. If you do decide to try and make it yourself, then Black D.O.G. weed is a great choice for vapes, concentrates, waxes, etc. This is because this cannabis hybrid has a high THC content and a very nice flavor, both of which are what people look for in strains to make concentrates from.

You can also use any strain you want to make edibles. You simply need to decarboxylate your weed first, and then you can use it to easily make edibles. There are two ways to make edibles, decarboxylate fresh buds, or use already vaped marijuana. If you get the leftover marijuana from your vaporizer and then stick it with a fat or oil, you’ve got a potent edible. Please note: these are seriously potent. Do not underestimate their potency! 

If you're ready to settle in at home with your Black DOG concentrates, you'll want a trusty dab rig to keep you company. This Higher Standards Heavy Duty Riggler Set is just the glass companion you've been looking for. With its inline style perc, you're sure to get a smooth hit every time!

This juicy little Indica strain is perfect for those who are suffering from pain, chronic stress or insomnia. Indica strains in general are also perfect for relaxing. If you’re looking for a strain to help you sleep, don’t just smoke it and immediately expect to fall asleep, particularly with Indica-dominant hybrids or hybrids with that little cerebral kick (just like Black D.O.G.). This is because the cerebral high will generally keep you awake as thoughts run through your head. This isn’t true of everyone, but you should wait for about an hour after smoking for the best sleep-inducing effects.
