Dog Shit by Unknown Or Legendary
Unknown
Dog Shit is a uniquely named sativa-dominant strain bred by the enigmatic Unknown or Legendary. Emerging from underground breeding communities, it gained notoriety for its challenging aroma and potent, energetic effects.
Appearance
Dog Shit buds exhibit a robust sativa structure, often dense and visually striking. They display a coloration that blends dark greens with hints of purple, highlighted by bright orange pistils. While sativa-dominant buds can be looser, Dog Shit maintains a notable tightness. Under magnification, trichomes present a frosty, crystalline appearance, indicative of high cannabinoid content.
Aroma & Flavor
Renowned for its off-putting, pungent aroma, Dog Shit's scent is often described as animal waste-like, though it can mellow with proper curing. Chemical analyses suggest elevated sesquiterpenes contribute to a heavy, musky odor with underlying notes of earth and pine. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a complex blend of earthy, pungent, and surprisingly sweet notes, with a lingering aftertaste sometimes compared to a savory broth.
Effects
This sativa-dominant strain is recognized for delivering energizing and cerebral effects. Users often report experiencing a tingly sensation and a boost in creativity. Its invigorating nature makes it a choice for those seeking an uplifting experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages are detailed, the terpene profile is noted for contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor. Key terpenes identified include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. These compounds are believed to be responsible for the strain's complex olfactory and gustatory experiences, as well as influencing its effects.
Origins & Lineage
Dog Shit was developed by the breeder Unknown or Legendary, a figure known within select cannabis circles. Its lineage is primarily sativa-dominant, with approximately 70% sativa genetics, resulting from selective crosses aimed at enhancing specific traits like aroma and potency. The strain emerged during a period of innovation in the mid-2000s, challenging traditional naming conventions.
Cultivation
Under optimal indoor conditions, Dog Shit has been reported to yield between 450-550 grams per square meter. Its cultivation involves meticulous record-keeping and selective crosses to emphasize robust growth, distinct aroma, and potent effects. The strain's physical structure balances sativa-like airy foliage with dense bud formation.
