This strain has a quite high THC content and is indica-dominated, so you can expect a very strong and relaxing high that is sure to send you off to sleep.
Thanks to its very potent deep body relaxation, it is the perfect strain for anyone suffering from chronic pain or sleeping disorders such as insomnia.
This hybrid strain is also known for its fruity yet earthy scent and soft and sweet lilac flavor (see also “Best Hybrid Strains“).
It’s definitely more of an indica than it is a sativa, so you’ll be more numb and dream-like than euphoric and energized as you drift through the evening in a pleasant haze.
Sounds good? Well then, keep reading on to learn more.
Just How Potent Is Dosilato?
In a word, very. The potency of Dosilato should not be underestimated. There is a reason it is so popular with those that experience chronic pain, and that is because it sends you into an ultimate numbing and relaxing sedation.
The hybrid strain is just 30% sativa and 70% indica, so you can definitely expect a more ‘downer’ high. It’s a plop yourself on the couch and don’t move till morning kind of high.
And the high itself is pretty powerful, you’ll certainly feel it in every fiber of your being.
The name of the strain comes from the two parent strains Do-Si-Dos and Gelato #41 and is also part of the cookie family, so expect a sweet and delicious taste as you’re puffing away.
Since both parent strains are pretty powerful, it’s safe to expect the same from the product they create. Typically, you’ll be looking at a THC content of around 20% at its lowest and just missing 30% at its highest.
So it’s safe to say it’s not really an option for the faint-hearted. If you’re new to smoking, I’d leave a pin in this strain for now.
When you have built-up a pretty good tolerance for THC, you should still approach the strain with caution as it is renowned for its unbelievable high.
Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor
Dosilato is famous for its lovely aroma. It’s strong and sweet, and is very citrusy and floral. As far as aroma goes, this is probably up there as one of the best options.
The very lemony smell also pairs wonderfully with the earthiness undertone that lurks just beneath it.
Don’t be fooled by its zesty aroma though, because you won’t taste any lemon coming through as you drag on your joint. Instead, you’ll have a wonderful and delicious floral taste that will remind you of lilac and lavender.
In terms of the bud, it is very appealing. There are a few shades of green that are evident, from pale to deep and dark green. This is then juxtaposed with the patches of pastel and coral colors of purple and orange.
It has a somewhat icy appearance too, but not overwhelmingly so. It also has a soft and sticky texture.
Medical Benefits, Effects, And Usage
So, after smoking this strain, you’ll feel very relaxed, serene, and calm. It also won’t take very long for sleepy sedation effects to take effect.
So I wouldn’t opt to smoke this strain during the day or you’re likely to snooze your way through all your responsibilities. It’s definitely an evening and night time option though. That will allow for a blissful evening and an early nights kip.
It’s known for a strong body-numbing effect too which makes it very popular with those that suffer from chronic pain, anxiety, and excessive stress.
For those with joint pains that play up quite a lot, I would definitely recommend trying to smoke this strain before bed.
For cannabis connoisseurs, riding this high will probably be a very enjoyable experience. For those new to marijuana and THC, probably not so much.
For those with low THC tolerance, there are many reports of Dosilato causing anxiety and paranoia so it’s best to steer clear unless you are used to smoking fairly consistently.
Like any heavy indica based strain, it’ll also have some pretty hardcore body effects that you want to be prepared for. You’re not going to feel like being up and about once this high kicks in, you’ll find a spot and that is where you’ll want to stay.
So if that sounds good to you, then perfect. If that isn’t what you’re looking for, then you may prefer to opt for a more sativa-dominant strain.
As with most strains, you should also expect dry eyes and a dry mouth as possible side effects.
Other smokers have also reported experiencing feelings of dizziness which is another reason why it’s not really suitable for daytime smoking.
Growing Dosilato
As far as strains go, it’s a relatively easy option to grow. It tends to grow in pretty much any environment or condition, but it definitely flourishes best in warm and humid climates. When grown indoors you can expect the plant to flower a little after 8 or so weeks.
You can usually start your harvest during the middle of October and will receive around 14 ounces per square meter. They will grow a slightly larger yield when grown outdoors with the figures coming in at around 16 ounces per square meter.
The secret to success with this plant is consistent pruning. This will help ensure you get the most out of your yield and that they grow to their full potential.
And this is really the only important maintenance hack that you’ll need. Otherwise the plant is pretty resilient and won’t mold, or get destroyed by bugs or pests.
While the plant’s tough and hard exterior will come in handy during its growth, it can become a little more difficult during harvest.
The branches, and just the plant in general, tends to be rock solid and very hard to snap. So if you don’t want to break or damage your harvest flowers, you’ll definitely need to invest in a pair of sharp garden shears.
