American Dream
Also known as: American Dream Regular
Overview
American Dream is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica, 25% sativa) developed by the renowned Dutch seed company Sensi Seeds. This strain was created by crossing Afghan Skunk genetics with Jamaican and Hawaiian sativa strains, embodying the breeder's vision of continuous genetic improvement through each generation. The name reflects both the American ideals of honest toil and personal achievement, as well as the breeding philosophy of creating ever more successful offspring. The strain produces dense, compact buds covered in a thick layer of resinous trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance with deep green coloration accented by hints of purple and orange pistils. American Dream is renowned for its balanced effects that provide physical relaxation without inducing couch lock, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use. The strain's complex aroma profile combines earthy and skunky base notes with tropical fruit undertones and subtle floral hints, while the flavor delivers a smooth smoking experience with layers of earthiness, skunk, pine, and fruity island notes.

Growing Information
American Dream is considered an accessible strain for cultivators of all experience levels, with moderate growing difficulty and low maintenance requirements. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 6-8 weeks (45-50 days) indoors, making it attractive for quick harvests. Plants remain compact with modest height gain during flowering, typically reaching 100-125cm indoors and 125-250cm in greenhouse settings. The strain produces generous yields of up to 16-20 ounces per plant indoors and up to 1kg per plant outdoors under optimal conditions. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring warm, Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures between 65-80°F. The strain is well-suited for SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green) cultivation methods, which can maximize yields. Plants produce dense, fist-sized buds with excellent resin production. Outdoor flowering typically occurs in mid-October, and the strain shows good resistance to humidity-related issues like mold and mildew.
