Description
Dosido #18 Clone is a select phenotype of the highly regarded Dosido strain, known for its potent effects, complex aroma, and impressive resin production. Dosido itself is a cross between OGKB and Face Off OG, resulting in a hybrid that combines the best traits of its parent strains: the cerebral and body effects of OG Kush and the heavy resin production and rich flavor profile of Face Off OG. Dosido #18 is one of the more unique phenotypes of the Dosido family, recognized for its exceptional qualities that appeal to both growers and consumers alike.
Genetic Lineage and Breeding Traits
Dosido #18 Clone inherits its genetic makeup from the original Dosido strain, which was created by crossing Face Off OG (an indica-dominant hybrid) with OGKB (a legendary strain known for its potent effects). Dosido has a lineage that leans heavily toward indica, offering a deeply relaxing body high, along with cerebral effects that stimulate creativity and mood.
Dosido #18 is a phenotype selected for its particular qualities—usually from a group of clones chosen for superior performance, whether that be in growth structure, flavor profile, or potency. The number “18” often refers to the particular clone of Dosido, known for its standout characteristics when compared to other phenotypes.
Growth Characteristics
One of the key characteristics of Dosido #18 Clone is its dense bud formation. The plant produces large, tightly packed buds that are covered in a thick layer of resin glands (trichomes), giving it a frosty appearance. These dense buds require careful attention during flowering to ensure proper airflow and prevent issues with mold or mildew. Pruning and using techniques like low-stress training (LST) or Screen of Green (ScrOG) can help maintain a healthy structure, especially for those growing in confined spaces.
Flowering time for Dosido #18 Clone is typically between 8 to 9 weeks, which is fairly typical for an indica-dominant hybrid. Some phenotypes of Dosido may take slightly longer, but this range is where most of the clones fall. Yield expectations are moderate to high, and given the dense nature of the buds, it’s essential to provide adequate light, especially for indoor growers. Dosido #18 Clone tends to respond well to high-intensity discharge (HID) lights or LED systems that replicate natural sunlight, ensuring robust resin production and strong bud development.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of Dosido #18 Clone is a complex blend of earthy, sweet, and floral notes, with a slight diesel and pine undertone, typical of OG strains. It has a pungent, sweet fragrance with strong minty and citrusy overtones that come forward when the buds are broken apart. Some users also report subtle hints of creamy vanilla or cookies. This is a highly aromatic strain, with the scent intensifying as the buds mature and reach full maturity.
On the flavor profile, Dosido #18 Clone offers a smooth and creamy smoke, combining earthy, sweet, and spicy notes. The sweetness is often described as a cookie-like flavor, with a rich vanilla undertone, complemented by hints of diesel and citrusy tang. The flavor has a robust and complex profile, and the smoothness of the smoke makes it appealing to those who appreciate flavorful, aromatic cannabis.
Effects
Dosido #18 Clone provides a potent and balanced high that is typical of its indica-dominant heritage. The effects tend to hit quickly, with an initial cerebral rush that offers a sense of happiness, euphoria, and creative stimulation. While the head high is uplifting, it doesn’t tend to lead to anxiety or overstimulation, thanks to the calming effects inherited from the OG Kush side of its genetics.
As the high progresses, Dosido #18 Clone settles into a deep, relaxing body high that helps melt away tension and stress. The combination of mental clarity and physical relaxation makes it suitable for unwinding after a long day or for use during social activities. It is not overly sedative, but it can induce a feeling of couch-lock in larger doses, making it ideal for evening use or for moments when relaxation is the goal.
The hybrid’s effects are long-lasting, providing a slow and steady comedown that doesn’t feel abrupt. It is perfect for those who enjoy relaxing but still want to remain mentally engaged. As with many OG strains, the potency of Dosido #18 Clone makes it a favorite among those with higher tolerance levels, though it remains accessible to intermediate users as well.
Cultivation Tips
Pruning and training are essential to maintaining a manageable canopy and maximizing yields. While Dosido #18 Clone grows relatively short, it can become bushy, which can hinder airflow and light distribution. By topping the plant early and using low-stress training techniques, growers can increase yields and prevent any mold or mildew issues.
