Benefits

A sparkling gem in the cannabis world, Dolato (also known as Dosilato) is a powerhouse indica-dominant strain descending from the loyal lineage of Do-Si-Dos and Gelato. With a high THC content, between 20 and 29%, it provides a potent journey even for the most seasoned consumers. This soothing yet uplifting experience dances across the mind and body, filling it with joy and ultimate peace.

Onset

Despite its overwhelming THC potency, the Dolato journey begins gently, taking a while to unravel its effects fully. Initially, cerebral stimulation takes the lead, offering a gentle uplift in the mood that escalates into a symphony of euphoria. This powerful feeling frees you from stress and tension, making space for positive energy, focus and creativity. Working on art projects takes another dimension, as you are charged with inspiration and fresh perspective.

The mental buzz is closely followed by a feeling of physical tranquillity sweeping over the body, making you relaxed all the way to your fingers and toes. This results in a delightful sensation of feeling light – with a weightless body and a dreamy head that floats high up in the sky.

The best time to use Dolato is in the late afternoon – when you can still benefit from its uplifting, creative effects, yet don’t mind taking it a little easy. Using it with friends is a great idea, too, as it may provide hours-long sessions of thought-provoking conversations.

Uses

The calming action of Dolato, enhanced by its unique terpene composition, can be utilised in treating pain and mental health conditions.

Thanks to a high content of anti-inflammatory caryophyllene and soothing, pain-dulling linalool, as well as 1% CBG, the strain can be an excellent remedy against migraines, debilitating cramps and more severe conditions such as chronic pain. The relaxing properties of linalool also interact with the stimulating, uplifting limonene, a combination which can be great at toning down the symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress-related fatigue.

Side effects

The most common side effects associated with the consumption of Dolato are cottonmouth, dry eye sensations and mild headaches. Due to a very high THC content, it may also occasionally induce paranoia and anxiety, especially in sensitive users. It is vital to consume responsibly, starting with a single puff and gradually increasing the dosage if necessary.

Origins

While the original breeders of Dolato remain a mystery, its fabulous lineage is well-known. The strain descends from the powerhouses Do-Si-Dos and Gelato, both highly esteemed in the cannabis community. As a proud testament to its parent strains, Dolato boasts its rich flavours and a harmonious fusion of tranquil, blissful effects and cerebral stimulation.

Growing conditions

Cultivating Dolato is a pretty straightforward task as long as a few details are kept in mind. It tends to grow lateral and bushy, so it will require early pruning and regular trimming. It will also benefit from nutrient supplementation, especially some extra calcium and magnesium. On the bright side, it displays good resistance to pests and mildew and fits in limited spaces due to its short nature. The flowering time tends to take 8-9 weeks, with abundant yields of 450 to 500 grams per square metre indoors and over 500 grams per plant outdoors.
