A-Dub

A-Dub strain is a renowned indica-dominant strain (80% indica, 20% sativa) known for its high potency and complex flavor. It earned second place in the High Times “Earth’s Strongest Strains” list in 2014. A-Dub has been described as having a chemical, diesel, peppery flavor and relaxing, euphoric effects. Patients have reported that this strain (cultivar) helps manage stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

A-Dub strain boasts impressive genetics as a cross between Alien Dawg and the highly popular Sour Double (a cross between Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble). California breeders created this delicious, well-balanced hybrid strain that offers a very high potency when carefully grown and cured, reaching as high as 32% THC.

The strain has deliciously sweet honey and tropical pineapple flavor, with earthy undertones to balance the sweetness.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Dosing

As with any strain, particularly one of such a high potency, only consume a small amount at a time. Too much A-Dub can lead to anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, or headaches. Even if you’re a regular consumer, your body may not be used to this high THC percentage, so we recommend erring caution.

Many users have described taking just one dose and experiencing a high, so follow their advice and take it low and slow.

Growing

To maximize the high THC on offer from this strain, you must grow and cure A-Dub carefully. Indoor yield sits around 12 ounces per square meter, while outdoor yield is 14 ounces per plant. A-Dub thrives in a warm, Mediterranean-like environment but can grow well indoors and outdoors.

Drying your buds allows moisture to be released so you can smoke or vape your buds. It generally takes around seven to twelve days, though this can vary depending on the size of your bud. Conversely, curing involves storing your bud in a sealed container for around 14 days. Curing isn’t a step you want to skip, as it boosts the flavor and aroma of your bud: You’ll get a smoother, better-tasting smoke overall.

You’ll want to keep buds stored somewhere dry and dark while you’re curing and check on them frequently to ensure no signs of mold.
