One thing to keep in mind when growing Do-Si-Dos is the very pungent smell they produce.

Indoor growers should look to invest in a good odor control system with decent carbon filters and exhaust fans.

This strain also has the potential to produce beautiful purple pigmentation when exposed to cold (not freezing) nighttime temperatures.

The size of this strain is moderate to tall, reaching heights of 200 to 250cm outdoors and 80 to 100cm indoors

Like OGKB and Girl Scout Cookies, Do-Si-Dos is resistant to mold diseases and doesn’t usually have problems with pests.

Do-Si-Dos Yield

Do-Si-Dos has a short flowering period of around eight weeks, but this doesn’t mean you should expect low yields.

In fact, Do-Si-Dos yields tend to be on the higher end of production.

Indoor yields are around 550 grams per m2 and outdoors it’s possible to harvest up to 900 grams per plant.

Do-Si-Dos, like most Indica-dominant varieties, produces dense flowers that adhere in small clusters.

It’s also a very colorful strain, with bright lime green buds, abundant orange pistils, and hints of blue and purple produced by anthocyanins in the strain’s genetics that become active with cold weather.

The buds also have a heavy frosting of white trichomes that accounts for their psychoactivity.

Do-Si-Dos Effects

The high produced by Do-Si-Dos leans towards the sedative side starting with a stoned, hard-hitting buzz that melts over your body and leaves you petrified, stoned, and happy.

It is quite a potent strain, with THC levels clocking between 25% to 30%, it can leave even experienced users completely paralyzed.

Despite the high THC levels, the calming body high keeps the cerebral mindset from becoming too buzzy.

This calming effect can be explained by the presence of the terpene Linalool in the plant’s chemovar.

Instead of agitation, what users of Do-Si-Dos will find is heavy relaxation that spreads down the whole body finishing in total couchlock.

Because of the sedative nature of the high, Do-Si-Dos is best consumed late in the afternoon or early evening and not when you’re on the go.

The high is also characterized by being potent but mellow and followed by lots of dreamy, euphoric bliss.

This heavy, body-centric high makes Do-Si-Dos a very good strain for treating pain, anxiety, and a variety of other medical and psychological issues.

When smoked before bed it calms and relaxes my mind and body leaving me ready for a good night’s sleep.

Adverse Effects Using Do-Si-Dos

Due to the very high THC content of this strain, it should be used with caution by inexperienced users, users who have a low tolerance for THC or those that are prone to paranoia.

Another aspect to keep in mind is that this bud can leave you completely paralyzed, so make sure you have time to unwind and won’t be nodding off in the middle of a meeting.

Yet, if you’re prepared for relaxation, this is one smooth, comfortable ride.
