Sweet Dragon
Also known as: Sweet Dragon OG, Dragon's Sweet
Sweet Dragon Strain Overview
Sweet Dragon is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among enthusiasts for its unique combination of sweet flavor profile and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is believed to have been developed in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s, likely through selective breeding of established genetics. The name 'Sweet Dragon' reflects both its distinctive sweet aroma and the powerful, sometimes fiery effects that users report experiencing.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast sharply against the darker foliage. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and emit a complex aroma that combines sweet, fruity notes with subtle earthy undertones.
Sweet Dragon has become particularly noted for its well-balanced effects that many users describe as providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain's popularity has grown steadily in both medical and recreational markets, though it remains somewhat less common than mainstream commercial varieties. Breeders have continued to refine the genetics over time, resulting in several phenotype variations that may exhibit slightly different characteristics while maintaining the core attributes that define the strain.

Sweet Dragon Strain Growing Information
Sweet Dragon is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Sweet Dragon responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful monitoring of nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures between 20-26°C (68-78°F) during the flowering phase. Some phenotypes may exhibit color changes (purpling) when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
