The wine berry-colored buds of Dolato are one of the most beautiful purple phenos in the market. Apart from the fantastic bag appeal, it also has the mesmerizing fruity-earthy aroma mix to match its beauty. Linalool and limonene are mainly responsible for its ability to make the olfaction go crazy. These terpenes also contribute to the overall effects.Dolato is an Indica-dominant hybrid of Do-Si-Dos and Gelato #41. Like the parents, it is calming in nature, leaving people super relaxed and possibly couch-locked. It also puts the mind in a peaceful but slightly dazed state. As the relaxing head-to-toe effect takes over, feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety disappear, as do chronic pain and spasticity. The 20% THC load of this strain does not sedate immediately unless enjoyed in excessive dosages, allowing a few hours of high before falling asleep, thereby beating insomnia.Consumers with intermediate cultivation experience can surely provide the reasonable grow requirements of Dolato. The strain is robust but prefers to flourish indoors where critical garden conditions can be regulated. If given an optimal home, it shares heavy cropping of dense, gluey buds that can even be used for resin extraction. Make personal growing for yields more straightforward by germinating feminized seeds provided by Homegrown Cannabis Co.Growing Dolato from Feminized SeedsA full-grown Dolato is an image of cannabis perfection. It is rich in deep purple hues from the foliage to the flowers. The inner and outer surface 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 is of medium height and very sturdy. Even with a heavy load of flowers, it does not 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 suffer from impeded growth. Thinning out the foliage, especially in the lower area, is also critical for optimal airflow and light penetration, as it is sensitive to high humidity and prone moisture buildup.Dolato, as with most cannabis varieties, thrives in mild, warm environments. Dry locations with summer temperatures between 21 to 26°C, like Southern Europe and California, can produce up to 700 grams per plant. In the northern hemisphere, harvest rolls around October.If outdoor conditions are not optimal, it is 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, which should be between 30 to 40%. SOGing is also recommended for maximum fruiting, especially in small spaces. The combination of advantageous technique and suitable agri-environment can generate up to 500 grams per square meter.Fragrance and FlavorDo-Si-Dos and Gelato are both pungent strains. On the contrary, Dolato is not with a clean and subtle sweet fragrance. Its bud must be broken apart and appreciated very close to the nose to recognize fruity and earthy elements. Once combusted, it produces a smoke that is a direct translation of its scent. It is smooth when breathed in but also lacks intensity. For some beginners, the subtleness is like a gentle welcome greeting.EffectsThe cerebral influence of Dolato manifests fast, albeit gently. Its euphoric hit elevates the mood, giving consumers an increasing sense of happiness. As the state of mind improves, a relaxing feeling that promotes intense laziness engulfs the entire anatomy. No amount of will can fight it off, and it is easy to succumb to a body-melting couch-lock.Concurrently, the bud slightly intensifies sensory perception, which makes almost everything in the surroundings seem enhanced. Due to such effect, users often find that pairing the herb with some activities such as movie-watching and listening to trippy music feel like a journey or adventure for the senses. Those who are artistically inclined will also be inspired to showcase their creativity. However, due to extreme listlessness, new ideas and inspirations may have to be written down for the time being and expressed when mobility is regained. Because the strain sedates, though, it will have to wait till the next day.MedicalDolato offers a broad range of health-boosting benefits that alleviate the symptoms of various conditions. Its anxiolytic and antidepressant properties diminish stress, as well as the feelings of anxiousness and depression. Meanwhile, its calming function mitigates hyperactive tendencies and, ultimately, insomnia.Moreover, temporary emancipation from chronic pains can also be achieved. Dolato has potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and muscle relaxing activities. It is commonly used to ease arthritis, migraines, PMS, and multiple sclerosis. Plus, it may stimulate appetite and stops nausea and vomiting. As such, it can be used to fight food aversion and emesis due to HIV, eating disorders, and chemotherapy-induced side effects.The 20% THC content of Dolato may seem modest by today's standards. However, unless one has already developed high tolerance, consuming high dosages is unnecessary and likely to be more harmful than beneficial. As proof of its strength, it may bring upon cottonmouth and dry eyes even in moderate doses. Overindulging, on the other hand, may cause dizziness, anxiety, and paranoia.Dolato Feminized SeedsConsumers with mid-level cultivation skills are encouraged to grow the Dolato.
