Dream Lotus Strain

Blue Dream has been around in the West Coast scene for a long time. Considered to be one of the classics in the region, it is a direct descendant of the legendary Blueberry. Whereas the predecessor is mostly Indica, this hybrid retains the incredible berry fragrance but leans towards the Sativa side.

Like many premium breeders, Bodhi Seeds embarked on a project to improve the growing traits of Blue Dream. They did not have to look any further than within the varieties they have developed. By crossing their own Snow Lotus with Blue Dream, the result could not have been any better.

Bodhi named the offspring Dream Lotus. It is fitting in the sense that the fusion has allowed the new hybrid to retain much of the characteristics of Blue Dream with one difference. When compared, the plant itself is shorter and has a quicker flowering time.

Dream Lotus is a balanced hybrid. In moderation, it brings about an uplifting high and full body relaxation. However, it also has the potential to disorient beginners and experienced users who overindulge.

For a period, the hybrid also boosts the energy level of users. Hence, apart from the upbeat feeling, there is also the motivation to stay active and productive.

In time, the body starts to feel heavy. Some people may feel tingling sensations on the limbs too. It marks the start of the physical effects of Dream Lotus. As the uplifting buzz spreads all over the body, it causes the users to slow down. In most cases, it does not cripple users but can indeed cause laziness.

As users settle into full relaxation, the cerebral effects now take on a dreamy quality. In higher dosages, not only is the body high somewhat sedating but users also fall into deep introspection.

Fragrance

The Blueberry heritage is evident in Dream Lotus. Its flowers emit the same fragrant berry scent that contributed to its becoming a worldwide sensation. Apart from that, it comes with a woody undertone. And, once the bug is crushed, it reveals herbal scent of pine with a spicy note.

Flavors

Dream Lotus has a myriad of flavors that are just waiting to burst. Delight at the citric taste of sweet berries followed by a refreshing mix of mint and pine with a spicy aftertaste.

Adverse Reaction

Once the psychedelic high kicks in, it is possible that some people may feel a bit dizzy. And, after some time, may also have a headache. In cases when one ends up overindulging, the effects could become overwhelming. In this case, some people may end up feeling a bit anxious or paranoid.

Although the stated adverse effects may or may not occur, one thing is for sure. Users are going to feel the throat and eyes dry. Such is common with the use of marijuana regardless of strain.

Medical

Dream Lotus is not only food for recreational use. It is also adept at relieving symptoms of mental and physical afflictions.

It has properties that help manage the mood. Combined with its euphoric and uplifting psychedelic effects, not only is it efficient in wiping out stress but it also helps people deal with depression and anxiety. Ironically, excessive use may also raise the level of anxiousness.

While the psychoactive compounds are celebrated for the happy and relaxing high, it is also a natural painkiller and muscle relaxant. For this reason, many people suffering from chronic pains and aches have sought out its use. For instance, it prevents muscles from continually contracting and tightening making it useful in controlling spasticity.

Growing

Dream Lotus, with all its qualities and benefits to both the recreational and medical users, is a gift bestowed upon home growers. It is not a delicate plant to cultivate but still would need some tender loving care.

Dream Lotus grows exceptionally well outdoors and indoors. Its naturally short stature aids in its production of large chunky buds, a typical Indica trait. A week or two into the flowering phase, the plant forms dark forest green nugs with streaks of light blue. Amber hairs and small crystal trichomes cover it.

One of the things that growers can do when cultivating it indoors is to stimulate more lateral growth. The plant itself is short and bushy by nature but applying Low-Stress Training can result in more flowers and, consequently, increase the yield. One thing to keep an eye out for when employing any form of stress-training is a plant that may change to a hermaphrodite. Unfortunately, Dream Lotus is not available as feminized seeds which would have eliminated that concern.

Flowering Time

Indoors

Dream Lotus has an indoor flowering period of 9 weeks when grown from a cutting. Under the expert care of seasoned growers, yields are high and may reach up to 14 ounces per square meter.

Outdoors

Outdoors, the plant thrives in a warm Mediterranean climate where it flowers by October and yields more than 14 ounces per plant.
