How to grow Dutch Dragon
Taste
Seb's take
Dutch breeding lines crossed with Swaziland genetics, and the sun-chasing habit of the African parent never quite bred out — pruning slows her, it does not stop her. Sweet citrus and orange on the nose, flowery and pungent beneath; the high is energetic, giggly, and bright. Give her the headroom, and preferably a SoG to keep her company.
Where it comes from
Paradise Seeds crossed Dutch breeding lines with genetics from Swaziland, and the African parent's habits did not breed out quietly. The record is specific: a 75 per cent sativa that loves the sun and will chase it no matter what — pruning slows her, it does not stop her. Named a dragon for good reason, then. She is offered as the strain for a grower ready to make the leap from indoors to out, and her southern-African blood explains both the ambition and the appetite for warmth.
Nose & flavour
Sweet citrus and orange lead, bright and clean, with a flowery note behind and a pungent edge underneath keeping the sweetness honest. A lively sativa nose that does not travel discreetly — you will know when she is in the room.
The high
Energetic and sparkling, with a giggly, uplifted brightness that keeps things moving. Happy and euphoric throughout — daytime company rather than an evening's end. The sativa lift comes through clearly, cheerful and awake, exactly as the African heritage would suggest.
Growing it
Give her the headroom, and preferably some company — she behaves excellently in a Sea of Green. Indoors she needs constant pruning to check a height that, by her own account, cannot be stopped; she settles at a manageable 80 to 90cm only if you insist. Flowering runs 63 to 70 days for a solid 500 g/m², and she rewards warm climates most of all. A medium-difficulty plant that asks for attention and repays it — a fair proving ground for a grower stepping outdoors.
