Dogwalker OG Feminised

The way to plan Dogwalker OG is backwards from the day you intend to cut, with 305-610 g/m² (~ 400 g/m²) per square metre indoors and 283-425 g/plant (~ 400 g/plant) per plant outdoors as the figures you are working toward, at 22% THC. Count 9-10 weeks back from that date and you have your flip date. Most of the final weight lands between weeks 5 and 8, when calyxes stack fastest and trichome cover goes from patchy to complete. Outdoors in the Southern Hemisphere you want that fattening phase falling in February while the days are still long, which puts a late-March cut about right for most of the country.

Yield on Dogwalker OG — the 305-610 g/m² (~ 400 g/m²) indoors and 283-425 g/plant (~ 400 g/plant) outdoors quoted above — is decided in three short stretches of the 9-10 weeks bloom rather than evenly across it.

The first ten days after the flip. Whatever stretch happens here sets your canopy, and an uneven canopy wastes light for the remainder of the grow. Stretch is modest at 20-30%. Strip the lower fan leaves around day seven and that energy goes into bud sites instead.

Weeks three to five. This is when myrcene production climbs, and it answers to the gap between day and night temperature rather than to either number on its own. Keep at least 6-8°C between them. Outdoor growers in the interior provinces get that swing free in March and April; indoors, aim for 25-26°C lights-on against 18-20°C lights-off, with potassium-led bloom feed at EC 1.6-1.8.

The last ten to fourteen days. Stop feeding, flush with pH-corrected water, and read trichomes daily under a 60x loupe. Cut at 15-20% amber for the heavy end of what this genetics does. Outdoors that usually lands between late March and mid-April.

Difficulty: difficult. In flower for 9-10 weeks. Stands Medium (150-245 cm). Indoors it returns 305-610 g/m² (~ 400 g/m²). Outdoors, 283-425 g/plant (~ 400 g/plant) a plant.

The first thing Dogwalker OG does at 22% THC is coat the palate with a deep, musky earthiness. The euphoric, calm effects follow within minutes, starting as weight behind the eyes and working down through the shoulders and limbs. Fifteen minutes in there is a physical stillness — not sedation so much as a disinclination to get up. Two to three hours at a moderate dose. Caryophyllene sits underneath all of it, adding a grounding warmth that keeps the whole thing anchored.

Leading with Myrcene, then Caryophyllene, and Linalool underneath. How this combination survives the move from flower to vapour or smoke is not a given. Held low, at 180-188°C, the caryophyllene and linalool notes stay legible with myrcene underneath them. Run it hotter, or burn it, and the three collapse into one — still pleasant, but without the separation that makes this cultivar worth paying attention to.

Who does well with Dogwalker OG? Indoor growers who want the harvest date to be their decision. Outdoor growers who want to choose the moment flowering starts. Anyone with the room and the patience to veg it properly before flipping. It is rated difficult, which in practice means a moderate learning curve that rewards attention without needing laboratory conditions.
