Stardawg x Animal Cookies

Dawg Biscuits is the ultimate reward for cannabis growers, breeders, and users. This top-tier feminized hybrid combines two of the most prized cannabis strains on the market—Stardawg and Animal Cookies—to create a cultivar that possesses the best qualities of Chem and Cookies. Dawg Biscuits produces a bountiful yield of funky, frosty buds that will have even the most demanding cannabis connoisseur begging for more.

Stardawg, the mother of Dawg Biscuits, has long been a favorite among fans of Chem strains. This cultivar reliably produces elite phenotypes that share many characteristics of Chemdawg. Stardawg offers a massive yield of potent buds that are highly aromatic. Animal Cookies, the other parent of Dawg Biscuits, is known for its potent effects, exotic flavor, and outstanding bag appeal. By combining Stardawg with Animal Cookies, Greenpoint Seeds has developed Dawg Biscuits—a hybrid that offers the funky flavor, hardy growth, and generous yield of Stardawg, and the extraordinary resin production and bag appeal of Animal Cookies.

Dawg Biscuits Strain

Stardawg

Stardawg, the mother of Dawg Biscuits, is a descendant of the legendary Chemdawg strain, which has produced several elite phenotypes, including Chem ’91, Chem Sis, Chem D, and Chem 4.

JJ NYC, the founder of Top Dawg Seeds, was fortunate enough to obtain a clone of Chem D in the early 2000s. He had been smoking Chemdawg since 1992 and had become a fan of its skunky, musky flavor and invigorating high. JJ traded a cut of East Coast Sour Diesel for the Chem D and later acquired the Chem ’91 and Chem 4 phenotypes.

JJ recognized the demand for Chemdawg and set out to create a line of seeds that embodied the strain’s legendary traits. His first step was to find a male plant to use for breeding purposes, as there were no known male phenotypes of Chemdawg. JJ grew a Hindu Kush and an Afghani No. 1 from Sensi Seeds in hopes of finding a suitable mate for the Dawg.

He chose the Afghani No. 1 to pollinate the Chem D, as it had a better bud structure and thicker stems than the Hindu Kush. JJ then selected a Chem-dominant male from the progeny of this Chem-Afghani hybrid and backcrossed it two times to the Chem D. This double backcross, known as Tres Dawg, stabilized many prized Chemdawg traits.

After creating the Chem D backcross, JJ used an exceptional male from this strain to pollinate his cut of Chem 4. While the Chem D had a robust, skunky aroma and potent high, the Chem 4 offered a larger yield and an enchanting bouquet of pine and sour lemon. By crossing Chem 4 with Tres Dawg, JJ now created a strain that combined the potency of Chem D and the yield of Chem 4. He dubbed this strain “Stardawg,” perhaps because of its trichome-covered buds, which are as white as stars.

Top Dawg Seeds released the first batch of Stardawg seeds in 2011. They were an instant hit, as they yielded a variety of stellar Chem D and Chem 4-dominant phenotypes. Since that release, Stardawg has become a staple among growers, breeders, and users.

Stardawg Lineage

Stardawg, the mother of Dawg Biscuits, is a hybrid of Chem 4 and Tres Dawg. Tres Dawg is a backcross of Chem D and Afghani No. 1. Both Chem 4 and Chem D are phenotypes of Chemdawg. Although Chemdawg is a highly popular variety, its lineage is unknown. Due to its skunky and earthy aroma, some growers believe that Chem D might be a hybrid of Skunk No. 1. Others have suggested that it might be a cross of Pakistani Kush and Lemon Thai.

Afghani No. 1 is a pure Indica strain that originated in Afghanistan. Sensi Seeds, a well-known cannabis seed company from Holland, brought seeds of this landrace variety to Amsterdam. Sensi inbred the strain for many generations, stabilizing its particular traits.

Animal Cookies

Animal Cookies, sometimes referred to as Animal Crackers, is the other parent of Dawg Biscuits. Animal Cookies is an elite cannabis strain that was created by the Cookies Family in San Francisco, California. The Cookies Family is one of the most admired breeding collectives in the cannabis industry, has developed several award-winning strains, including Gelato 33, Girl Scout Cookies, and Biscotti.

Animal Cookies is an Indica-dominant hybrid of Girl Scout Cookies and Fire OG. This variety tends to produce a bigger yield and sturdier branches than are common among most Cookies cuts. Animal Cookies delivers a potent stone that may elevate the mood and ease pain and tension in the body. Its powerful effects and unique aroma have made Animal Cookies a go-to among growers and users.

Animal Cookies Lineage

Animal Cookies, the other parent of Dawg Biscuits, is believed to be a cross of two Indica-dominant strains—Girl Scout Cookies and Fire OG. The pedigree of Girl Scout Cookies is unclear, but many growers believe that it is a cross of Durban Poison, Florida OG, and a mysterious cultivar referred to as “F1.”

The ancestry of Fire OG also is largely unclear. Some growers suggest that Fire OG is an S1 or hybrid of OG, while others maintain that it is the original phenotype of OG Kush. Animal Cookies melds the striking color and aroma of Girl Scout Cookies with the rich flavor and potency of Fire OG.

Dawg Biscuits Feminized Cannabis Seeds

Greenpoint Seeds used the legendary cut of Animal Cookies to pollinate a select phenotype of Stardawg. The resulting hybrid—Dawg Biscuits—produces an array of elite phenotypes that share the remarkable qualities of Chem and Cookies. Some plants will offer the large yield and funky flavor of Stardawg, and others will provide the narcotic stone and outstanding bag appeal of Animal Cookies. Most plants will present a combination of these characteristics.

Dawg Biscuits Aroma

One of Stardawg’s cherished qualities is its funky, skunky aroma. In the jar, Stardawg emits a complex fragrance, with strong notes of rotten skunk, dirty gym socks, diesel, and rich soil. Once ground up, the strain’s subtle hints of citrus and menthol reveal themselves. Some phenotypes of Stardawg take on the Chem 4’s earthy, musky, sour-pine aroma, while others lean toward the Chem D’s eye-watering bouquet of halitosis and petrol. Every phenotype is sure to satisfy even the most demanding aficionado.

Animal Cookies, in contrast, imparts a unique sweet-and-sour scent that is pleasantly pungent. This variety offers a bouquet of sweet cookie dough, petrol, skunk, and menthol, with hints of soil and mixed nuts. When the buds are broken apart, hints of cherry, pine, and pepper become apparent.

Dawg Biscuits unites the funky, diesel-like bouquet of Stardawg with the sweet-and-sour scent of Animal Cookies. Some phenotypes will offer the biting aroma of Stardawg, and others will lean toward the bittersweet scent of Animal Cookies.

Dawg Biscuits Flavor

This variety coats the palate with notes of citrus, cherries, and cookie dough, mixed with bitter flavors of diesel, pine, soil, and skunk. Some plants may lean toward the funky taste of Stardawg, and others may produce the sweet, zesty flavor of Animal Cookies. Most phenotypes will offer a blend of these scrumptious flavors.

Dawg Biscuits Effects

Stardawg is a Sativa-dominant hybrid, known for its uplifting and euphoric effects. The high makes socializing easy, as it unleashes a boost of energy and enhanced mental focus. Many users report that this strain offers relief from pain, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Stardawg might also ease digestive discomfort and serve as an appetite stimulant. These reported effects have made it a popular choice among medical cannabis users. Stardawg can be great for daytime use; however, it is potent. Tests of many Stardawg phenotypes indicate THC content typically ranges from 16 percent to 22 percent.

Animal Cookies is an Indica-dominant variety that delivers a powerfully narcotic stone. Users report that this strain may relieve pain and stress, and ease muscle tension. When consumed in excess, Animal Cookies may send users into a deep sleep. This cultivar is perfect for a relaxing evening smoke or nightcap.

Dawg Biscuits mixes the potent effects of Stardawg and Animal Cookies, offering a balanced high that can be felt in both the body and mind. The high comes on quickly, with a rush of euphoria and motivation. Soon, this invigorating cerebral effect shifts into a relaxing stone that may ease muscle tension and relieve pain. Some Stardawg-dominant phenotypes may be more uplifting and cerebral, and some Animal Cookies-dominant phenotypes may be more narcotic and pain-relieving. Dawg Biscuits is an excellent choice for an evening or nighttime smoke.

Dawg Biscuits Structure

Stardawg is of medium height, with strong branching, perfect internodal spacing, and dark-green leaves. Certain phenotypes display double-serrated leaves, and some Chem D-dominant phenotypes may have variegated leaves. This variety produces colossal, perfectly formed colas that are heavily dusted with trichomes. Stardawg forms large, lime-green buds that contrast beautifully with the vibrant red-orange pistils speckling each flower. Although most of the plants are green, some rare phenotypes are known to produce purple buds.

Animal Cookies is medium to tall in height, with long, lanky branches and small, frosty buds; however, this cultivar is somewhat more robust than most Cookies varieties. Animal Cookies forms emerald-green leaves that tend to turn purple when exposed to cold temperatures. This cultivar produces small, bright-green buds that are adorned with red pistils and hints of purple in the sugar leaves. The flowers are dense and heavily coated in trichomes.

Dawg Biscuits is medium to tall in height, with long branches and thick, dark-green leaves. As the plants mature, the leaves of some phenotypes may display shades of purple and yellow. This variety forms medium-size colas and dense flowers that are blanketed in a thick layer of trichomes. Some Stardawg-dominant phenotypes may be somewhat shorter, with tighter internodal spacing and larger colas. Some Cookies-dominant phenotypes may be frostier and more colorful.

Growing Dawg Biscuits

Stardawg is an easy-to-grow variety that is resistant to most pests, diseases, and environmental stressors. This cultivar is highly adaptable and can flourish in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is also amenable to a variety of cultivation methods. When grown outdoors, Stardawg prefers a temperate climate, with moderate humidity.

In contrast, Animal Cookies is notoriously challenging to grow and is sensitive to many environmental stressors. To produce a modest yield, this variety requires adequate nutrition, ample lighting, a stable pH, and a moderate climate.

Dawg Biscuits is a moderately easy strain to cultivate and is resistant to most pests, diseases, and environmental stressors; however, some Animal Cookies-dominant phenotypes may be more sensitive to fluctuations in pH, temperature, humidity, and other conditions. Dawg Biscuits can thrive both indoors and outdoors if given a warm and dry climate.

Pest & Disease Control

Some Chem and Cookies cuts are known to be susceptible to powdery mildew. Like its parents, Dawg Biscuits may be prone to powdery-mildew infections. To prevent powdery mildew infections, growers gently prune the plants, use fans to provide air circulation, and keep the humidity low in the grow room. They also use foliar sprays such as water and apple cider vinegar solutions to limit the spread of powdery mildew.

Due to the density of the flowers, some Dawg Biscuits plants may be prone to bud rot. Growers can prevent bud rot by pruning the plants, providing ample ventilation and lighting, and reducing the humidity level (below 50 percent) during the flowering stage.

Both Stardawg and Animal Cookies require an abundant supply of calcium and magnesium. Dawg Biscuits also performs best when provided a diet rich in micronutrients. Growers can prevent calcium and magnesium deficiencies by including a cal-mag supplement in the nutrient schedule or amending the growing medium with dolomite lime and Epsom salt. Experienced growers normally use a pH meter when mixing nutrient solutions. This helps ensure that the plants receive a consistent pH and can absorb the optimum amount of nutrients.

Harvesting & Curing Dawg Biscuits

Most phenotypes of Dawg Biscuits reach maturity within 10 weeks; however, some phenotypes may take up to 11 weeks to mature. The most accurate way to determine if the plants are ripe is to use a microscope or jeweler’s loupe to observe the resin glands on the buds. When the trichomes turn from clear to milky white, with some starting to turn amber, the plants are mature and can be harvested.

If Dawg Biscuits is harvested when the trichomes are still clear, this strain may deliver a more cerebral high. If it is harvested when the trichomes are mostly amber, the effects tend to be more relaxing. By harvesting the plants when they are fully mature, growers can achieve a generous yield of potent flowers.

One to two weeks before harvest, growers typically stop using nutrient solutions and flush the plants with plain water. Many growers believe that flushing may help to remove stored fertilizers in the flowers and improve their flavor.

To harvest the plants, growers start by cutting down the top colas first. Next, they remove the fan leaves from the branches and trim the sugar leaves on the buds. Manicuring the buds will enhance their appearance and make them smoother and more flavorful to smoke.

After manicuring the buds, growers hang up the branches or place them on drying racks for up to six days. The drying process may take longer for Dawg Biscuits, given the incredible density of the buds. When the flowers feel light and crispy to the touch, they are fully dried.

Once the flowers have been adequately dried, the final step is to cure them. A proper cure will help to preserve the flavor, aroma, and potency of the buds. To cure the flowers, growers usually cut the flowers from the branches and store them in jars. They keep the jars in a cool and dry area, and open them twice a day for up to two weeks. Opening the jars will speed up the curing process and prevent the buds from becoming moldy. The buds may be smoked after two weeks; however, it may a longer period of time to cure them properly.
