Dolato Feminized

Dolato's berry-colored buds are some of the most beautiful you're ever likely to see. Apart from the fantastic bag appeal, it also has a mesmerizing fruity and earthy aroma that matches its aesthetic qualities. Linalool and limonene are mainly responsible for its awesome terpene profile, and they also contribute to the overall effects.

Dolato is an Indica-dominant hybrid of Do-Si-Dos and Gelato #41. Like its parents, it's calming by nature, leaving users feeling super-relaxed and possibly couch-locked. It puts the mind in a peaceful but slightly dazed state: as the relaxing head-to-toe effect takes over, stress, depression and anxiety may momentarily disappear, along with chronic pain. The 20% THC doesn't sedate immediately unless taken in excessive dosages, allowing you a few hours of happy high before you fall asleep.

Consumers with intermediate cultivation experience can surely cater to Dolato's reasonable grow requirements. The strain is robust but prefers life indoors where critical garden conditions can be regulated. If given an optimal home, it shares a heavy yield of dense, gluey buds that can be used for resin extraction.

Growing Dolato from Feminized Seeds

A full-grown Dolato is an image of cannabis perfection, rich in deep purple hues from the foliage to the flowers. The inner and outer surfaces of its nugs, along with the sugar leaves, are covered in thick, frosty resin. Christmas tree-like from afar, its apical cola stands proud at the very top of the plant while several bud clusters grow from its lateral branches.

This Indica strain is of medium height and very sturdy. Even with a heavy load of flowers, it doesn't need a trellis or support. Like Gelato, however, it must be given generous amounts of calcium and magnesium; otherwise it may show signs of nutrient deficiency and impeded growth. Thinning out the foliage, especially in the lower areas, is also critical for optimal airflow and light penetration, as the plant is sensitive to high humidity and prone to moisture buildup.

Dolato, as with most cannabis varieties, thrives in mild, warm environments. Dry locations with summer temperatures between 70 and 79°F, like Southern Europe and California, can produce up to 24.7 ounces per plant. In the northern hemisphere, harvest rolls in around October.

If outdoor conditions are not optimal, it's best to grow Dolato indoors so that vital growth factors can be regulated. During its 8 to 9 weeks of flowering, maintain the RH level around 40 to 50%, except in the last 2 weeks, where it should be between 30 and 40%. SOGing is recommended for maximum productivity, especially in small spaces. The combination of an advantageous technique and suitable environment can generate up to 1.63 ounces per square foot.

Fragrance and Flavor

Do-Si-Dos and Gelato are both pungent strains, but Dolato, somewhat oddly, is not. It has a clean and subtly sweet fragrance, and the buds must be broken apart and sniffed very closely in order to pick out the fruity and earthy notes. Once lit up, the smoke is smooth and light. For beginners, the subtleness is like a gentle welcome greeting.

Effects

Dolato's cerebral influence manifests quickly but gently. A subtle euphoric hit elevates the mood, improving the state of mind and bestowing a relaxing feeling that promotes intense laziness. No amount of willpower can fight it off, and it's all too easy to succumb to a body-melting couch-lock.

The strain increases sensory perception ever so slightly, which makes almost everything in the immediate surroundings appear enhanced. Some users like to enjoy it alongside activities like movie-watching or listening to trippy music, which can feel like an adventure for the senses. Those who are artistically inclined will also be inspired to showcase their creativity. However, due to the extreme lethargy, any new ideas may have to be noted down and parked until the buzz wears off.

Dolato Feminized Seeds

Growers with mid-level cultivation skills are encouraged to try their hand at Dolato. Although prone to moisture buildup, it provides up to 1.63 ounces per square foot indoors and 24.7 ounces per plant outdoors, as long as it's given an optimal home. That's a massive load of relaxing buds that may even reduce chronic pain, stress, anxiety and insomnia.

You can make things easier by choosing these feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. An all-female army means there's no need for gender identification, and no threat of accidental pollination that could ruin the harvest.
