White Dawg
White Dawg is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Tres Dawg. Designed for versatile cultivation, this strain functions well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering growers a high yield after a flowering period of approximately 63 days. While cultivators should expect a moderate level of difficulty, the resulting plant maintains a consistent profile that has served as a foundation for numerous subsequent crosses. Its genetic impact is evident in a broad line of offspring, including Double White Dawg, Falkor, Moxie Dog, SoDoSoPa, Sparrow King, Superdog, Uptown White Dawg, White Apollo 710, White Dawgsbreath, White Ghost Dawg, White Goji OG, and White Grape Dawg.
The complex terpene profile of White Dawg is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and ocimene, with additional contributions from pinene, nerolidol, limonene, humulene, and linalool. Minor concentrations of beta-pinene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, eucalyptol, p-cymene, caryophyllene-oxide, and terpinolene round out the chemistry of this THC-dominant hybrid. These aromatic compounds harmonize to create a nuanced sensory experience, dictated by the foundational earthy and spicy notes provided by the leading myrcene and caryophyllene content, accented by the diverse secondary and tertiary terpenes present in the plant.
As a THC-dominant variety, White Dawg is reported to induce effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These properties make it a frequent choice for users seeking relief from symptoms associated with stress and pain, as well as those looking for support in managing sleep. By combining these functional effects with its high-yielding growth characteristics and extensive list of notable descendants, White Dawg remains a significant utility strain within the contemporary genetic landscape.

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.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
