Dr. Greenthumb’s Em-Dog is an Indica-dominant hybrid strain of cannabis first grown in the United States. This strain is the result of a collaborative effort between a grower from the Humboldt Seed Organization and B-Real, a grower that works for Cypress Hill. They crossed an OG Kush plant with Chemdawg 4, creating an incredibly strong plant with thick stalks which support incredibly heavy yields. Without leaving a clue as to how the name was developed, these growers subsequently put the strain on the market and began cloning the new hybrid for distribution.

This strain’s THC concentration can reach as high as 27%, though most harvests average 23-24% THC. Dr. Greenthumb’s Em-Dog is a strain best consumed in the afternoon or evening hours for most, though some might find it ideal for daytime usage.

Dr. Greenthumb’s Em-Dog plants produce an incredible amount of consumable cannabis. Indoors, most well-kept grows will see harvests in excess of 500 grams per square meter of plant. Outdoors, plants have yielded in excess of 1 kilogram of consumable weed per plant. This makes the strain a must-have in most commercial grows, which might be why this strain has popped up recently in your area. These incredibly bright green buds are often neon or mint-green in color, with thick calyxes and bright orange hairs. The surface of these buds is covered in a thick coating of translucent crystal trichomes and a bit of sticky-sweet resin.

These plants, and the flowers they produce, smell of tropical aromas such as sweet fruit, citrus, and a bit of spicy herbs. The flavor is a bit more mellow, which causes some to consume a bit more than they needed. Users report flavors such as diesel, lemon, and woody pine in this strain’s smoke.

Dr. Greenthumb’s Em-Dog produces an incredibly powerful high that is overwhelming for beginners. This strain is only recommended to experienced smokers, as the effects can be a bit much if you aren’t used to incredibly powerful indica strains.

This high begins with a creeping sensation that doesn’t last long before the full effects burst into your headspace like a freight train. Erasing any negative thoughts or emotions you might be having, this cerebral high fills your mind with joy and lifts your mood to brand new heights. At the same time, the high relaxes your muscles and puts you in a comfortable state of near-sedation, locked into the sofa in front of the TV. Some have reported a mild case of the munchies as a side effect of this strain, so you might prepare a snack before your smoke session if you want to avoid raiding your pantry and refrigerator.
