Mandarin Dream

Mandarin Dream is an indica dominant hybrid strain that is a cross between Stormtrooper #2 and Mandarin Sunset. It is a creation of Ethos Genetics. The appearance is typical of common indica strains with large dense buds in jungle green hues. It is not clear the exact ratios of indica/sativa, but given the balanced effects it probably has 60% indica and 40% sativa, or 55%/45%.

When Mandarin Dreams hits the brain it will create a warm and fuzzy feeling of euphoria that is great for a lazy afternoon or an evening stroll. The body hit is the kind to relax you entirely without giving a couch lock. Patients suffering from stress or anxiety can make use of this effect as they will be in a position to let go off troubling thoughts and unwind. It is not recommended to take Mandarin Dream in the morning, especially when you are planning to accomplish physically straining activities. Patients have also claimed that this strain aids with digestion.

Mandarin Dream has a citrusy smell which is highly suggestive of the abundance of limonene in this strain. It also has diesel undertones especially when the nugs are burned. The buds are generously coated with sticky trichomes that are highly resinous. With THC levels that may exceed 24%, this therapeutic strain is one to watch out for. It equally boasts of a high calyx to leaf ratio. The CBD content is at 0.5%.

For new patients, the smoke may appear quite abrasive due to the abundant lemony scent. But with time, you should be able to do less coughing and more enjoying. Past the cough expect to find a “highness” that slowly creeps in and carries you away into deep euphoria. On your body this indica strain will wash over you and soothe you into a dreamy state. You may feel some kind of numbness wash through your limbs but this can give you a break from muscle pain and musculoskeletal spasms. But before you get there you may be attacked by serious hunger pangs that you did not expect, especially when you are not a foodie. But on a positive note, patients seeking solutions for chronic appetite problems may find this strain very beneficial. What patients love most about this strain is the fact that it is very relaxing both to the mind and the body but it never over powers you.

Mandarin Dreams is an interesting strain to cultivate; it grows vigorously and is resilient even in fluctuating conditions. It boasts of Cup winning parents which have endowed her with rock solid genetics.
