Dragon's Breath Strain Overview
Dragon's Breath is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among experienced users for its powerful effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat unclear, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed it, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. Dragon's Breath is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that often display a striking contrast between deep green foliage and vibrant orange pistils, with some phenotypes showing purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation.
The strain's name derives from both its fiery effects and its unique terpene profile that some users describe as having a 'smoky' or 'dragon-like' quality. Dragon's Breath typically produces medium to tall plants with a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. The strain has gained a reputation for its potency and complex effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for evening use. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Dragon's Breath has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced hybrid characteristics.
Notable features include the strain's thick trichome coverage and its ability to produce substantial yields under optimal growing conditions. The aroma is often described as complex, combining earthy base notes with sharper, more pungent undertones. Some growers report that Dragon's Breath can be somewhat challenging to cultivate due to its sensitivity to environmental factors and its need for careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase.

Dragon's Breath Strain Growing Information
Dragon's Breath is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. Indoor flowering time typically ranges from 8-10 weeks, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 4-6 feet outdoors. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold, providing adequate support for heavy colas, and careful nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to nutrient burn. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
