Dolato
Also known as: Do-Si-Lato, Dosi-Lato, Dosilato
Overview
Dolato is a mysterious indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has earned legendary status through word-of-mouth reputation rather than commercial marketing. This underground cultivar arrives with no fanfare, no breeder press release, and no definitive origin story, just dense, velvety buds and a reputation that spreads by word of mouth. Dolato is a rare breed: a cultivar with heritage tied to legendary genetics, yet shrouded in mystery. While her roots can be traced back to Gelato #41 and Dosidos, no official breeder has claimed her. That alone makes Dolato something of a legend, a secret kept closely by cultivators who prefer to let the flower speak for itself. The strain features a beautiful range of colors in its colas—from light to dark green and red-wine purple to bright orange, all dusted with diamond-like trichomes.
Genetically, Dolato emerged through advanced breeding techniques, combining the genetic lineage of Do-Si-Dos with Gelato #41. The Dolato strain emerges from a meticulously crafted hybridization process, combining the genetics of Do-Si-Dos with Gelato #41, to produce its indica-dominant lineage. Dolato, also known as Dosilato, is an Indica-dominant (70/30) hybrid with high THC and CBD contents, making it a go-to strain for medical users. This strain's original grower remains a mystery to the cannabis community to this day, even though its genetics are not a mystery. We know that in order to get a Dolato plant, growers must first cross Gelato #41 with a Northern California cut of Do-Si-Dos. The strain has become increasingly popular among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex terpene profile without the hype of heavily marketed strains.

Growing Information
Indoor cultivation requires 8-10 weeks flowering time with yields of approximately 500 grams per square meter (1.64 oz/ft²). Outdoor growers can expect harvest in mid-October with yields of 500-850 grams per plant (17-29 oz/plant). The strain has a flowering period of 8-10 weeks. Dolato thrives in Mediterranean or milder continental climates, emphasizing warm summers and cool autumns. The strain flourishes within temperatures of 70-85°F (21-29°C). This temperature range fuels optimal growth and consistent yields. The strain can adapt to varying elevations from sea level up to 2,000 meters, performing best in lower altitudes with ample sunlight. Growing difficulty is moderate - suitable for cultivators with some experience. Since the strain is susceptible to moisture accumulation, novice producers should avoid it until they understand temperature and humidity regulation. Many growers use Screen of Green (SCROG) technique to boost yields. Plants require good ventilation to avoid humidity problems due to dense, resinous buds.
