The Dosidos 33 strain—aka Do Si Dos 33 or Dos Si Dos 33—is a potent hybrid that delivers a rush of heady euphoria balanced by a grounded, body-centered experience. Whatever you call it, it’s a strain worth getting to know.
Keep reading for the full rundown of this little-known gem, including information on its effects, genetics, flavors, and aromas, as well as some basic growing info.
Where Did Do Si Dos 33 Come From?
So…what are we to make of the Dos Si Dos 33 strain, which descends from some of the most legendary cannabis strains of all time, including Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush Breath?
As with all strains, the bulk of its characteristics come from its “parent strains,” meaning the cannabis types that were crossbred to produce it. In this case, it’s a long and impressive list, and examining a few of these strains lends important hints as to just what users can expect from the Dos Si Dos 33 strain. Dosidos 33 is a cross between:
- Gelato #33: As it shares roots with Girl Scout Cookies strain, it’s no surprise that Gelato #33 also delivers an energetic, inspiring high that helps many fans tame stress and uplift mood. Of particular note, Gelato is renowned for its sweet, vanilla-kissed flavor.
- Dos Si Dos: As yet another strain that shares a genetic history with Girl Scout Cookies, you can expect bold flavors and a potent high. But in this case, those psychoactive effects tend to be body-centered, sedative, and deeply relaxing in the classic indica mold.
Given its genetics, it should be no surprise that Dosidos 33 inherits a lot from Girl Scout Cookies (or GSC): A bonafide legend in the cannabis world. GSC is beloved for its ability to wipe out discomfort and stress with a single hit. The pungent-sweet aromas and notes of cherry, lemon, and mint are the icing on this cake…er, that is, cookie.
Dos Si Dos 33: Appearance, Flavors and Aromas
If you enjoy earthy and citrus-like aromas and flavors, you’re in for a treat. Dosidos 33’s major terpenes include:
- Limonene: Limonene is abundant in fruits like lemons and grapefruit, adding a bright and citrusy note to Dosidos 33’s profile
- Myrcene: The most commonly found terpene in cannabis, myrcene offers earthy, spicy and musky notes
- Caryophyllene: You’ll know caryophyllene for its punchy aroma, most often associated with black pepper
- Terpineol: A lesser-known terpene, terpineol is abundant in lilacs and brings a floral, fruity note to this strain
Terpenes are the natural compounds that impart most of a given strain’s characteristic aromas and flavors, but terpenes are special compounds that can only create the signature profiles we associate with a given strain—they may offer therapeutic benefits all their own, too.
In this case, limonene imparts a very distinctive citrus aroma to Dosidos 33 that many say is reminiscent of grapefruit along with subtle mood-boosting effects. Myrcene may offer additional benefits for relaxation and pain relief, while spicy caryophyllene adds notes of pepper and earthiness along with potential anti-anxiety benefits as well. Finally, terpineol may add additional pain-relieving properties to round out this strain’s therapeutic profile.
Do Si Dos 33’s Cannabinoids and Effects
That’s the perfect cue to turn to the topic of cannabinoids, the most impactful of the cannabis plant’s many compounds. Do Si Dos 33 contains between 22% and 28% THC. As this strain’s principal cannabinoid, THC may deliver benefits such as helping to relieve pain, fighting nausea and appetite loss, and helping us find deeper sleep.
What about CBD? While the Dos Si Dos 33 strain contains only about .5%, many researchers believe that even a small amount potentiates the actions of THC via a phenomenon known as the ensemble effect.
Growing the Do Si Dos 33 Strain
A notably fast grower, Do Si Dos 33 thrives outdoors, though its compact, manageable size and high yield also make it an attractive choice for indoor cultivation. Newbie growers will rejoice at the strain’s natural resistance to pests and mold, and with a flowering time of 9 – 10 weeks, they’ll reap a fairly quick reward on their investment.
