Deadhead OG x Star Dawg
Deadhead OG x Star Dawg is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of its namesake parents, DeadHead OG and Star Dawg. As a product of these two distinct genetic lines, the strain has established itself as a producer of high yields, allowing it to be cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a flowering period of approximately 73 days, with the strain presenting a moderate level of difficulty for those tending to the plants. Its contribution to the genetic canon is further evidenced by its status as the parent strain of the notable hybrid Capstone.
The complex organoleptic profile of this strain is anchored by a terpene concentration led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. Secondary and tertiary contributions from nerolidol, humulene, and beta-pinene add nuance to the profile, while traces of linalool, camphene, bisabolol, pinene, and terpinolene round out the chemistry. This diverse terpene arrangement influences the sensory experience, providing a sophisticated range of flavor and aroma characteristics inherent to these dominant compounds.
Regarding physiological impact, this THC-dominant hybrid is designed to cultivate a state that is simultaneously relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a targeted selection for individuals seeking relief from stress and physical pain. Additionally, its primary effects are frequently sought by those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its reliable effects and verified genetic contributions, Deadhead OG x Star Dawg serves as a functional component in both medicinal use cases and modern breeding programs.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
