Indica Dominant Hybrid – 70% Indica / 30% Sativa
THC: 27%
Diamond Dust OG is a rare indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the classic Sour Bubble X Matrix 2 strains. In the appearance department, this bud totally takes the cake. Diamond Dust OG buds have oversized super fluffy minty green nugs that are spattered with bright orange hairs and completely coated in tiny silvery white crystal trichomes. As you break apart each sticky little nugget, aromas of sweet creamy citrus and fruity herbs are released. This quickly turns pungent and earthy as the nugs are burned, with a light spicy overtone. The flavor of Diamond Dust OG has a sharp citrus overtone that quickly turns savory and creamy upon exhale. The Diamond Dust high is just as delicious as the flavor, with both mind and body effects that will have you kicking back for hours and hours on end. The high has a creeping effect that sneaks up on you before taking hold of your mind and leaving you totally lifted and slightly unfocused. This is accompanied by a relaxing body high that serves to keep you anchored to the world below as your mind soars. Thanks to these effects and its high 27-28% average THC level, Diamond Dust OG is said to be the perfect choice for treating condition such as migraines or headaches, mood swings, depression, chronic fatigue, and chronic stress.

Appearance 4/5
Diamond Dust looks like it is dusted with diamonds. The shimmering coat of trichomes cover large, fluffy, light green buds. Light orange stigmas are woven in to add some complexity to the visual. Overall, the buds look nice, but there isn’t a lot of color or depth with this strain.
Aroma 4/5
Considering the lineage of this strain, it makes sense that it would have a powerful fruity aroma. However, there are some notes of cream and a little bit of diesel as you continue to let the buds breathe. The aroma is bright, yet powerful.
Taste 5/5
This strain has big citrus notes. It tastes like a cross between a lemon meringue pie and an orange creamsicle. It has a nice sweetness to it, but it is not overpowering. The diesel note adds a complexity that helps round out this strain’s flavor profile.
Effect 4/5
The user should feel relaxed, yet functional. I had a definite head buzz going on at first. Once that subsided, my body began to relax, and I could feel some pain relief. This strain gives a nice balanced head high that mellows into a slight body high.

David Holmes launched his first large-scale commercial facility in 2007. Shortly thereafter, Clade9 was formed to meet demand for cultivation experts. Applying his expertise in grow room design and management, Holmes focused on medical marijuana strain breeding. He has developed more than a dozen strains including the Ying Yang, a high-CBD strain with superior seizure-reducing capacities.
Across the U.S., many pet parents fresh off the heels of Independence Day fireworks continue to look for solutions to pet anxiety during noisy or other particularly stressful situations. The federal legalization of hemp-derived cannabinoids took place in December 2018 via the signing into law of The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill). Despite the law’s novelty, a great deal more already has been discovered this year about how cannabidiol (CBD) works for humanity’s furry friends, including amongst the racket and chaos of a fireworks show. Whether doled out in tinctures, treats, or even capsules and topicals, the pet CBD market is diversifying and growing—quickly.
The three things to know about this evolving industry are:
- Pet owners look to CBD to address a range of conditions and symptoms their animals are experiencing—primarily anxiety, followed by pain (particularly joint pain/arthritis), and less commonly for skin conditions, seizure disorders and others.
- Though dogs have dominated the space traditionally, consumers are beginning to purchase more CBD-infused products for their cats, horses, birds and even smaller critters and reptiles.
- As is the case in the human realm, a broad societal backlash against opioids and other pharmaceutical products—largely attributed to associated side effects and costs—has driven many consumers to seek natural health products for their pets as well. Accordingly, interest and revenues in the pet CBD space have blown up post-Farm Bill, as consumers feel more comfortable and better-informed about CBD and its uses. This paves the way for the pet CBD space to grow from a $32 million to a $401 million market over the course of just one year, according to predictive analytics and market research firm Brightfield Group.
Today’s market continues to be hampered by regulatory barriers, such as the FDA’s prohibition of ingestible CBD sales pending the establishment of an official, sanctioned regulatory framework, limitations placed on veterinarians by the DEA, and other state-level laws and policies.
Despite this, Brightfield Group anticipates the market will grow more than twelvefold in 2019 as a number of mass retailers are expected to onboard CBD products before the year is out, launching them into the public eye even more so than they are currently, giving significantly more consumers easy access to product and helping further destigmatize the use of CBD in animals.
Furthermore, in the medium-term, major manufacturers will join the space with tremendous resources and capital at their disposal, helping them more effectively and thoroughly tap into the $18-billion U.S. pet vitamins and supplements market, and further fueling the growth of the pet CBD industry.
