¶ Do-Si-Dos
¶ Overview
Do-Si-Dos is an indica-dominant hybrid created by crossing Girl Scout Cookies with Face Off OG. This strain combines the legendary sweetness and potency of the Cookie family with the heavy, fuel-forward intensity of OG genetics, resulting in a deeply relaxing cultivar with a sweet-earthy-flowery aroma. Do-Si-Dos has gained a reputation for its heavy body effects and potent euphoria, making it a favorite among consumers seeking strong relaxation and stress relief. The strain is part of the broader Cookies and OG family tree that dominates modern cannabis breeding, and its genetics have been incorporated into numerous subsequent hybrid crosses.

¶ Genetics & Lineage
Do-Si-Dos is a two-way cross:
- Girl Scout Cookies -- The legendary hybrid (OG Kush x Durban Poison) that has become one of the most influential genetics in modern cannabis breeding. Contributes sweetness, potency, and the distinctive Cookie-family terpene profile.
- Face Off OG -- A specific phenotype of OG Kush (Chemdawg x Hindu Kush x Lemon Thai) selected for its intense fuel aroma, heavy effects, and dense bud structure. Face Off OG is known as one of the more potent and physically relaxing OG phenotype selections.
Parent lineage: Girl Scout Cookies x Face Off OG
Do-Si-Dos emerged from the U.S. hybrid breeding scene, continuing the trend of crossing Cookie-family genetics with potent OG selections. The name references the cookie connection through its GSC parent. The combination brings together two of the most influential genetic lines in modern cannabis: the Cookie family (itself derived from OG Kush) and a heavy, potent OG phenotype. This means Do-Si-Dos carries OG Kush genetics on both sides of its lineage, concentrating the Kush character while the GSC side adds sweetness and the Durban Poison sativa influence provides a slight cerebral lift to the otherwise heavy indica profile.
¶ Cannabinoid Profile
| Cannabinoid | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| THC (Total) | 19-28% |
| CBD | <1% (typically 0.1-0.3%) |
| CBG | 0.5-1.5% |
| CBN | <0.5% (increases with age) |
Do-Si-Dos occupies the upper-moderate to very high THC range. The broad 19-28% range reflects significant variability between phenotype selections, with some pheno-hunts reaching the upper boundary under optimal cultivation. The elevated THC makes this a strain that demands respect, particularly from less experienced consumers.
¶ Terpene Profile
| Terpene | Approximate Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Caryophyllene | 25-40% | Primary terpene; spicy, peppery depth contributing to the fuel and earthy character |
| Myrcene | 20-30% | Earthy, herbal base inherited from the heavy OG and Cookie genetics |
| Limonene | 10-20% | Citrus notes that provide a bright lift to the otherwise heavy profile |
| Linalool | 5-10% | Floral, sweet notes contributing to the flowery character |
| Humulene | 3-8% | Earthy, hoppy accents |
| Pinene | 2-5% | Subtle pine undertones |
The caryophyllene-myrcene-limonene combination, with supporting linalool, produces Do-Si-Dos' distinctive sweet-earthy-flowery aroma. The heavy myrcene and caryophyllene base creates a deep, rich profile, while linalool adds the flowery sweetness that distinguishes it from heavier fuel-only OG varieties.
¶ Effects & Experience
Do-Si-Dos is widely reported to produce:
- Heavy body relaxation -- A deep, full-body physical relaxation that is the defining characteristic of the strain
- Potent euphoria -- A strong mental euphoria that accompanies the body effects
- Stress relief -- Commonly reported significant reduction in mental and physical tension
- Sedation -- Progressive drowsiness that leads toward sleep, particularly at moderate to high doses
- Pain relief -- Physical calm and muscle relaxation commonly reported for discomfort
Onset: Effects begin within minutes when smoked or vaporized; 30-90 minutes when consumed orally.
Duration: 2-4 hours for inhaled consumption; 4-6 hours for oral consumption.
Intensity: Strong to very strong. The high THC content (up to 28%) and heavy indica-leaning effects make Do-Si-Dos best suited to experienced users. Beginners should start with very small doses.
⚠️ Effects are self-reported and vary by individual, dose, tolerance, and consumption method. Not a prediction of any individual's experience. Due to the high THC content and heavy body effects, inexperienced users may experience overwhelming sedation at standard doses.
¶ Aroma & Flavor
- Smell: Sweet, earthy, and flowery with fuel undertones. The aroma is rich and complex, with the Cookie-family sweetness blending with the heavy OG fuel character and a distinct flowery top note. The overall profile is deep and pungent.
- Taste: Sweet and earthy on the inhale, with flowery, fuel, and subtle citrus notes on the exhale. The flavor is rich and layered, with a cookie-like sweetness that transitions into a heavier, fuel-forward finish with flowery complexity.
¶ Medical Usesdanger
Not Medical Advice -- The following lists commonly reported therapeutic applications. This does not constitute medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before using cannabis therapeutically.
Commonly reported uses include:
- Pain management -- The heavy body relaxation is frequently cited for chronic pain and muscle tension relief
- Insomnia -- The strong sedative effect is commonly used for sleep onset
- Stress and anxiety -- The potent euphoria and physical calm are reported for significant stress reduction
- Muscle spasms -- The deep physical relaxation is used for muscle tension and spasm relief
- Appetite stimulation -- Reported to increase appetite
¶ Adverse Effects
Commonly reported adverse effects:
- Dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Heavy drowsiness that may be undesirable during daytime use
- Dizziness, particularly at higher doses
- Anxiety or paranoia at high doses due to the elevated THC content
- Impaired coordination during the experience
- Increased heart rate

¶ Growing Information
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Moderate to Difficult -- requires experience with nutrient management, humidity control, and training |
| Flowering Time | 55-65 days (indoor) |
| Yield | 300-400 g/m² indoor; 400-500 g/plant outdoor |
| Plant Height | Short to medium -- compact structure, inherits GSC compactness and OG density |
| Preferred Environment | Indoor or outdoor; prefers warm, dry, Mediterranean-like climate. Benefits from controlled indoor environments. |
| Resistance | Moderate resistance to mold and pests. The dense bud structure requires careful humidity management during late flower to prevent mold. Inherits some GSC sensitivity to nutrient imbalances. Responds well to topping, LST, and SCROG. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically falls in early to mid-October. |
Do-Si-Dos is moderately challenging to difficult to grow. The Cookie-family and OG genetics bring sensitivity to overfeeding and humidity fluctuations. The dense, resinous bud structure requires attention to airflow and humidity during late flowering. The compact structure is an advantage for indoor growing, and the moderate flowering time is practical. The strain rewards experienced cultivation with exceptionally dense, resinous, and aromatic buds.
¶ Awards & Recognition
- Do-Si-Dos has gained significant recognition in the modern cannabis community as a potent Cookie-family derivative
- The strain has been featured in regional cannabis competitions and strain showcases
- Popular among consumers seeking heavy, relaxing indica-dominant cultivars
- Its genetics have been incorporated into numerous subsequent hybrid crosses, extending its influence
