Beacon Medical's Ventura Dawg Flower Review | AusCannaReviews

Beacon Medical’s Ventura Dawg is listed on Canna Reviews as a 25% THC sativa leaning hybrid cross between SFV OG Kush and Chemdawg. Her dominant terpenes are Farnesene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Myrcene.

SFV OG Kush (San Fernando Valley OG Kush) was created by “Swerve” from Cali Connections by crossing SFV OG (San Fernando Valley OG ) which is a phenotype of OG Kush with Afghani 1. This cultivar took 3rd Place in the Indica category at the High Times Amsterdam Awards and 1st Place at the High Times Medical Cup in Denver for 2012. Typically high in Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene SFV OG Kush is recommended for patients suffering from chronic pain, insomnia, stress or anxiety, mild to moderate cases of depression, and inflammation.

Chemdawg is a cultivar that’s been around since the early 90s. Similar to Jean Guy and White Widow her exact genetics are a little unclear. However, several websites such as Leafly, Royal Queen Seeds, and Wikileaf agree on one thing… A gentleman named “Chemdog” scored a bag of cannabis that contained seeds at a 1991 Grateful Dead concert. The seeds were subsequently popped and Chemdawg was born.

Chemdawg is often associated with a strong gassy aroma and is touted for her invigorating effects. Typically high in Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene, Chemdawg is recommended for patients trying to alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, nausea, and migraines.

Review

Opening my 10-gram tub of Beacon Medical’s Ventura Dawg batch number 1505VD46501 I’m greeted with a citrusy almost tropical scent with pine and floral undertones.

There was no humidity pack inside and that was reflected in the hard dense buds that did not pass the Sticky Icky Test. My tub mainly contained medium-sized dark green-brownish buds. They were evenly coated in trichomes and stigmas (red hairs) and mostly weight around the one-gram mark.

The trim was tight and there were no excess stems.

Starting at 165C Beacon Medical’s Ventura Dawg is smooth and tropical tasting. As I push towards 175C she is slightly more citrusy but quickly becomes harsh above 200C. Ventura Dawg is energetic and euphoric, leaving me clearheaded but I wouldn’t say focused. It’s not something I’d start my day with. Instead, she would fit better into the rotation as a mid-morning medicating session because even though Ventura Dawg is uplifting without a plan for the day already in action I was easily distracted.

Beacon Medical’s Ventura Dawg reduces my anxiety and is a happy high. However, I prefer my sativa-leaning flowers to have a little more of a get-things-done vibe to them and in this category, Ventura Dawg falls a bit short.
