Stardawg Strain: Chemdawg 4 x Tres Dawg

By · Published · Updated

Stardawg Strain: Effects, Taste and Genetics
A note from Robert Misic

Leafly says Stardawg is believed to be named for the sparkling trichomes that coat it like stars, so a good jar should look frosted under light. Expect a sharp chemical, diesel and pepper nose, the three flavours Leafly reviewers name most.

What is Stardawg?

Weedmaps says Top Dawg Seeds crossed Chemdawg 4 with Tres Dawg to make Stardawg, and Leafly and AllBud list the same parents. Leafly says the name is believed to come from the sparkling trichomes that blanket the buds like stars. Leafly and Weedmaps class it as a hybrid; AllBud calls it indica-dominant, though its page gives both 70% and 60% indica.

Weedmaps notes that several named selections come from the same genetic pool, including Guava, Corey Haim, Illuminati and Kate Upton. Guava is the sweeter expression and Kate Upton is known for stronger purple colour, so the cut matters more than a single indica-to-sativa ratio.

Look, smell and taste

AllBud describes small to medium, dense, popcorn-shaped buds in bright minty green with olive and amber tones, orange hairs and a fine coat of trichomes.

Weedmaps says diesel, turned earth and a sharp chemical tang lead the nose, with lemon and pine cutting through. Leafly describes earthy pine flavours with sour diesel underneath, and its reviewers most often taste chemical, diesel and pepper notes. Leafly's lab data lists caryophyllene first, then limonene and myrcene; our cannabis terpenes guide explains each one.

Effects people report

Leafly rates Stardawg as mostly energizing, and its reviewers most often report feeling tingly, focused and happy. AllBud describes an active, uplifting head buzz with pressure behind the eyes, a burst of social, talkative energy and a mellow body buzz underneath. Weedmaps adds that some selections feel livelier while others settle in heavier, sometimes with hunger.

The negatives Leafly reviewers list most are feeling anxious, dry mouth and dizziness, and some reviewers on Leafly and AllBud warn that it is not for new smokers. Start with a small amount, and do not drive for at least 6 hours after use, as Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise.

How strong is Stardawg?

Leafly lists 22% THC and 0% CBD and rates it above average for THC. Weedmaps gives 20% to 26%, and AllBud's figures run from 16% to 25%. Each cut and batch differs, so go by the label.

Similar strains

Weedmaps lists Chem Dog, from the same Chem family as the Chemdawg 4 parent, among the strains most like Stardawg, along with Tres Dawg, Sensi Star, Super Skunk, NYC Diesel, Double Diesel and AK-47. Leafly lists Galactic Grape and I-95 among its offspring.
