Sweet Dreams Strain

Sweet Dreams lives up to its moniker. It delivers a deeply tranquilizing physical buzz that tucks users to bed within hours after the first puff. Before anything else, however, it first takes away worries through an uplifting head high that readies one for the night.

Its heavy-hitting effects can be attributed to K.C. 606 and the Californian Big Bud. The former is an elusive Indica-leaning strain with impressive trichome production. However, it has a rather sour terpene profile. To manage the tanginess, the breeders added in Californian Big Bud for its fruity but earthy flavors. Not to mention, it produces huge nugs and high yields but little leaves.

Growing

Sweet Dreams has the typical structure of an Indica-leaning strain. It has a sturdy frame with thick stalks and branches that do not break off at the weight of its buds. A light breeze also further strengthens it instead snapping off in half. Because of this, it is a great beginner’s choice.

Its propensity for cooler weather allows one to grow it with ease in the northern hemisphere. Unlike its tropical counterpart, it does not require long hours under the sun and will flower even as the days get shorter due to the season changing. Still, investing in a temporary enclosing is necessary especially during early winters. The frost can kill the plant overnight.

Controllable environments posit more chances for growers to adjust factors like lighting, temperature, and humidity. One may even choose between different types of mediums such as hydroponics and soil. The former doubles bud and trichome production while the latter creates a distinct terpene profile.

Growers will need to prune the plant often though, especially when it is cultivated in a Sea of Green setup. Its compact structure makes for denser foliage that can attract moisture in between its crevices. If left unattended, it will eventually develop into mold or mildew which will stunt its growth.

  1. First time grower. My sweet dreams plant is at least 6 foot (2 meters) tall and started the pre-flowering stage 2 weeks ago ( mid-August). I’m growing it in a big container on my front porch. Gets plenty of sun but protected from rain. I’m happy with how fast it’s entering the blooming stage. Will update once I harvest it.
