Starberry X Alpha Dawg: Tester Strain From Kushman Genetics

The Starberry X Alpha Dawg strain is a hybrid with generations of the Chemdawg strain in its lineage. It was bred by Kushman Genetics and was recently made available as a “test strain” at Buds and Roses Collective in Studio City, CA.

Starberry X Alpha Dawg Strain Has Obvious Chemdawg Influence

Kushman Genetics recently announced a limited release of three new “test strains” that could be the upstart seed company’s first official releases. The strains have not yet been named, but they were created using a few staples of the Buds and Roses Vegamatrix line.

In learning about the new Kushman Genetics varieties, I have to say that I was most excited to sample one of their Sour Diesel hybrids – Sour Diesel X Adonai Kush and Sour Diesel X Cherry Lopez. Of course, the Cherry Lopez strain has a great deal of Adonai Kush in it’s genetics in its own right. It would be interesting to note the presumably subtle differences between the two strains.

With that said, I obviously wasn’t the only patient interested in being a Kushman Genetics guinea pig. Both the Sour Diesel hybrids were out of stock when I finally made my way to Buds and Roses, and there was a lonely gram of the Starberry X Alpha Dawg hybrid remaining.

The Starberry strain was the result of crossing Stardawg (an inbred line of the Chemdawg strain) and Kyle Kushman’s Strawberry Cough. Alpha Dawg has a great deal of Chemdawg influence as well. With that in mind, I expected that I was in store for a cerebral head high with a slight mind warp.

How Will The Starberry X Alpha Dawg Cannabis Strain Affect Me?

The first thing I noticed about the Starberry X Alpha Dawg strain was its subtle terpene profile. The aroma did not seem to rush out and demand my attention like a lot of strains with heavy Chemdawg influence. Instead, it carried a slightly sweet aroma that more than complimented the gassy, almost diesel-like scent found within.

“The Starberry X Alpha Dawg strain caused any and all stress to wash away within minutes. My head was affected most and I experienced little-to-no body fatigue.”

Taste, however, is a different story entirely. The Chemdawg strain’s classic taste (think OG Kush with less citrus) was in full effect. I’ve always been fond of the Chemdawg flavor and I definitely wouldn’t complain about the slight sweetness that the Starberry strain brought to the table either.

Smoking the Starberry X Alpha Dawg strain caused any and all stress to wash away within minutes. My head was affected most and I experienced little-to-no body fatigue. With that said, vaporizing cannabis and other alternative delivery methods has been found to have even more health benefits.

This strain could be beneficial for those suffering from depression, migraines, anxiety, and more. Still, there is no guarantee that it will be made widely available anytime soon.
