Donkey Dick

Donkey Dick by Mighty Mite Seed Company: USA Strain Guide

What Is the Donkey Dick Cannabis Strain?

Donkey Dick is a well-known indica-dominant strain. Mighty Mite Seed Company created it for strength, reliability, and big yields. Its name comes from its huge, heavy colas.

The strain was first grown on Vancouver Island. It quickly gained popularity across North America. Today, it is still a favorite for anyone who wants strong effects and generous harvests.

Genetic Makeup and Origins

Donkey Dick is about 70–80% indica. This deep indica base shapes the plant’s size, structure, and effects.

Mighty Mite bred this strain during a time when small seed companies were experimenting with new hybrids. They wanted something unique and dependable—and they achieved it.

The genetics come from a mix of hardy plants. This mix makes the strain resistant to pests and helps it produce large yields. After years of selective breeding, Donkey Dick became stable and consistent. Each harvest delivers similar potency and effects.

Appearance and Structure

This strain is easy to spot. It produces large lime-green buds covered in thick resin. The colas are dense and coated in trichomes.

Indoors, the plant stays at a moderate height. Outdoors, it can grow up to 6–8 feet tall. In the vegetative stage, it develops wide indica-style fan leaves. During flowering, huge central colas form and dominate the plant.

The buds are light green with amber touches. Heavy trichome coverage shows its high potency.

Aroma and Flavor

The aroma is bold and earthy with a strong skunky edge. Below this are faint sweet notes.

Its terpene profile is mainly myrcene, which creates the earthy and musky scent. Limonene adds a light citrus touch, and caryophyllene gives it a peppery finish.

The flavor follows the aroma. Expect deep earthiness with sweet, skunky notes on the exhale.

Effects and Potency

Donkey Dick is powerful and sedating. The effects hit fast and settle heavily into the body. A couch-lock feeling is common at higher doses.

Relaxation takes over quickly. Mental alertness fades as the body becomes heavier. It works best in the evening or before bed.

Medical users often choose it for pain relief and sleep support. Because of its strength, beginners should start with a very small dose.

Growing Donkey Dick

Indoor Growing

Donkey Dick grows well indoors. It flowers in about 8 weeks. With some training, the plant stays easy to manage.

It grows large leaves and thick stems early on. Topping helps control shape and improves yield.

Indoor yields range from 1.2–1.8 ounces per square foot. Keep humidity moderate during flowering to avoid mold.

Outdoor Growing

Outdoors, this strain performs even better. It was originally bred for outdoor growth in a temperate climate.

Plants grow tall—6 to 8 feet is common. Huge central colas form by late September to mid-October in most US regions.

Outdoor yields range from 0.5–1.5 pounds per plant. Keep an eye on humidity because dense buds can trap moisture.

Growing Timeline

Vegetative Stage

Start seeds indoors or use clones. Topping early creates a bushier plant. Most growers veg for 35–40 days. Growth is fast, and large fan leaves develop quickly.

Flowering Stage

Flowering begins with a 12/12 light cycle indoors or naturally outdoors.

In the first weeks, many new flower sites appear. By weeks 5–8, the large colas form and resin production peaks. Harvest when most trichomes turn amber for maximum potency.

Indoor Lighting

Use 600–1000W LED or HPS lights. More light means bigger yields. Keep lights 18–24 inches above the canopy.

Veg plants need 18–24 hours of light. Flowering requires a strict 12/12 schedule.

Water and Nutrients

Donkey Dick prefers rich, well-draining soil. Water deeply but not often. Too much water can cause root rot.

Use nitrogen during veg and switch to phosphorus and potassium during flower. Follow nutrient schedules carefully.

Mulching helps keep soil moist and cool outdoors.

Pest and Disease Control

This strain naturally resists many pests, but spider mites and aphids can still appear. Check plants weekly.

Powdery mildew can affect dense buds. Keep air moving, and remove affected leaves as soon as you see them.

Beneficial insects like ladybugs help control pests naturally.

Medical Benefits

Pain Relief

The heavy body effects help with arthritis, back pain, and muscle tension.

Sleep Support

Its strong sedative qualities help with insomnia. Many users take it 1–2 hours before bed.

Stress and Anxiety

It reduces racing thoughts and physical tension, making it useful for nighttime stress relief.

Comparison With Other Strains

• Compared to sativas: Much more sedating.

• Compared to other indicas: Stronger effects and bigger yields.

• Compared to hybrids: Less balanced and more body-focused.

Side Effects

• Dry mouth

• Dry eyes

• Dizziness at high doses

• Possible anxiety in sensitive users

Storage

Keep buds in airtight glass jars in a cool, dark place. Proper humidity is 55–62%. Vacuum sealing extends shelf life. Well-stored buds last 6–12 months.

Legal Status in the USA

Cannabis laws vary by state. Some states allow recreational use, others only medical use, and some allow neither. Always check local rules before growing.

Federal law still prohibits cannabis, but state-legal personal growing is usually tolerated.
