Indica genetics × Hybrid elements
Developed by Mr Grow Guy, Double Dose is an indica-dominant hybrid recognized for its potent effects and complex sensory profile. This strain emerged from a period of intense cannabis breeding experimentation, aiming to combine the best qualities of indica genetics with balanced hybrid traits. It has gained a dedicated following for its reliable potency and unique characteristics.
Appearance
Double Dose features densely packed, compact buds characteristic of its indica heritage. These buds are covered in thick trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. The coloration is typically deep forest green, often accented with purple and gold hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. The plant's morphology includes short internodes and broad leaves, prioritizing bud density.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Double Dose is a complex blend, combining earthy and citrus notes with undertones of pine, often described as reminiscent of a forest after rain. Its flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with pine and citrus notes on the inhale and a subtle earthy and spicy aftertaste on the exhale. This intricate sensory experience is a notable attribute of the strain.
Effects
Double Dose is known for delivering a predominantly indica experience, characterized by deeply relaxing and potent effects. Users report experiencing a sense of calm and creativity, often leading to a couch-lock sensation. While primarily indica, it offers balanced effects that contribute to its appeal.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses indicate that myrcene and limonene are dominant terpenes in Double Dose, contributing to its aroma and effects. The strain typically contains THC levels ranging from 18% to 22%, with CBD levels consistently below 1%. Minor cannabinoids such as CBG and CBC have also been detected in small quantities.
Growing
This strain is noted for high resin production, with trichome coverage potentially exceeding 75% of the bud surface in optimal conditions. Its genetics favor dense bud formation over significant vertical growth, making it suitable for cultivators seeking high yields of quality flowers. The overlapping calyxes on the buds can also reduce the risk of mold.
Origins & Lineage
Double Dose was developed by the breeder Mr Grow Guy, known for innovative cannabis genetics. It was created by carefully crossing robust vintage indica genetics with hybrid elements to achieve a balanced yet potent indica-dominant profile. The breeding process focused on stabilizing desirable traits for consistent potency and sensory characteristics.
