- Hybrid
Dosido — also referred to as Dosi Doe, Dosi, or Do-Si-Dos strain — is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) developed in 2016 by breeder Archive Seed Bank. It was created by parents Face-Off OG and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Face-Off OG is a potent Californian indica cultivar rich in CBG and praised for its reported medicinal benefits. GSC is a potent, award-winning strain with a dessert-like aroma.
Dosido is visually appealing, featuring bright orange pistils, a mixture of green and lavender leaves, and a thick coat of white resinous trichomes. When grown, it produces a pine and lime fragrance that transforms into a pungent skunky smell when smoked.
The buds of Dosido are particularly potent, delivering a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) level of up to 30% and a cannabidiol (CBD) level of 1%. It’s known for delivering a very potent but smooth high that can lift your mood and provide a psychoactive experience. Dosido has been reported as having sleepy, relaxing effects that could make this weed strain ideal for managing stress, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain.

Flavonoids
Flavonoids are compounds responsible for a cannabis plant’s flavor while also playing a role in the plant leaves and stem color. Though they are rarely tested for in cannabis, they’re predicted to account for 10% of the bioactive compounds in cannabis.
Major flavonoids produced by the cannabis plant include flavonols (kaempferol and quercetin), flavanones; anthocyanins; isoflavonoids; and cannflavin A, B, and C.

Dosido is a potent strain, delivering unwinding effects described as “instantaneously chill.” For this reason, it’s best suited for experienced cannabis users in a safe and relaxed setting.
Medical Applications
Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.
THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter, adenosine.
Dosing
Due to the potency of Dosido, small quantities are recommended, especially for people prone to panic attacks or paranoia.
Growing
Dosido isn’t a strain for beginner growers due to its requirement for intermediate humidity and warmer climates. Growers wanting to select leaves with colorful purple hues should expose the crops to a short period of cold during the night before the plant’s flowering season.
As Dosido is a pungent strain, it requires good ventilation from carbon air filters or exhaust fans.
Dosido produces a medium yield but can improve with training techniques such as “sea of green.” The method involves securing a screen above the canopy of plants and tying the plant to the screen as it grows. It allows branches/leaves to be exposed to sunlight while using space in the growing chamber.
Height
Dosido plants can grow up to 39 inches when grown indoors. This can increase to 8 feet if grown outside.
Humidity and Temperature
Dosido can be grown indoors and outdoors, but growers tend to keep them indoors to control temperature and humidity.
Dosido thrives at temperatures between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
Flowering
The flowering time for Dosido is around seven to nine weeks. It produces an average yield, providing 17-31 ounces.
