Dragonade
Also known as: Dragon Aid, Dragon Fruitade
Dragonade Strain Overview
Dragonade is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Dragon Fruit with Lemonade strains, though some sources suggest additional genetic influences from tropical sativa varieties. This combination creates a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets for its unique flavor profile and versatile effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and dark green hues accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives Dragonade a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds often exhibit a slightly elongated structure with tight calyx formation, characteristic of its hybrid lineage. Dragonade is noted for its striking visual appeal, with color variations that can range from forest green to deep violet depending on growing conditions and phenotype expression.
Notable features of Dragonade include its complex aromatic profile that combines tropical fruit notes with citrus undertones, creating a sensory experience that many users find particularly enjoyable. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions for its unique flavor combination and balanced effects, though it remains less documented than more established commercial varieties. Breeders continue to work with Dragonade genetics, developing various phenotypes that emphasize different aspects of its complex heritage.

Dragonade Strain Growing Information
Dragonade is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Dragonade responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from regular nutrient feeding with attention to phosphorus during flowering to enhance color development and terpene production.
