Dos Si Dos 33: The Grand Slam of Genetics
Dos Si Dos 33: The Grand Slam of Genetics
Strain Overview
Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa)
Breeder: Barney’s Farm
Lineage: Dos Si Dos x Gelato #33
Market Status: The "Super Hybrid"; Dos Si Dos 33 is what happens when you take two of the most influential strains in American history and fuse them together. It is a "Clash of the Titans" cross, combining the heavy, sedative power of Dos Si Dos with the creamy, euphoric flavor of the legendary Gelato #33 (Larry Bird cut). The result is a strain that Barney's Farm describes as a "Grand Slam"—an explosive mix of energy, sedation, and incredibly complex terpenes that has quickly become a favorite for growers seeking potency and purple bag appeal.
THC Content: 22% – 28% (Elite Potency)
Dominant Terpenes: Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene
Key Effects: Euphoric Rush, Deep Body Stone, Stress Relief, Sedation (in high doses)
In the modern cannabis game, "Cookies" genetics are everywhere. To stand out, you have to do something special. Dos Si Dos 33 stands out by being louder, prettier, and stronger than the competition.
This strain is a showcase of the best traits of the US West Coast. It takes the "Face Off" potency of the Dos Si Dos parent—which is known for melting faces—and smooths it out with the sweet, dessert-like finesse of the Gelato #33. It is a visually stunning plant that offers a masterclass in hybrid vigor.
History and Lineage: The Cookie Monster
This strain is a double-dose of the "Girl Scout Cookies" lineage, evolved into something heavier.
The Mother (Dos Si Dos): A cross of OGKB (OG Kush Breath) x Face Off OG. This parent is famous for its raw, sedative power and earthy, nutty flavor. It is a strain for high-tolerance smokers.
The Father (Gelato #33): The "Larry Bird" cut. A cross of Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC. This parent brings the creamy, fruity sweetness and the stunning purple coloration.
The Synthesis: By crossing these two, Barney's Farm created a plant that retains the heavy "stone" of the Dos Si Dos but upgrades the flavor profile with the sweet, minty lime notes of the Gelato.
Terpene Profile: Lime, Mint, and Spice
The flavor profile of Dos Si Dos 33 is complex and refreshing. It moves away from the pure "earth" of traditional Indicas.
Dominant Terpenes
Limonene (The Citrus): The dominant terpene. It provides a sharp lime and lemon zest aroma that cuts through the creaminess.
Caryophyllene (The Spice): Inherited from the Face Off OG. It adds a peppery, spicy kick on the exhale.
Linalool (The Floral): Adds a lavender and mint undertone that gives the smoke a "fresh" quality.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is loud and fresh. It smells of mint chocolate chip ice cream, fresh lime, and spicy cookies.
The Smoke: Thick and smooth. It tastes of sweet dough, sherbet, and cooling mint. It leaves a spicy, fuel-like aftertaste.
Strain Effects: The Balanced Knockout
Dos Si Dos 33 is unique because it starts like a Sativa and ends like a heavy Indica.
The Experience
The Launch: The high begins with a burst of frenetic energy and happiness. You feel chatty, buzzed, and mentally stimulated. This is the Gelato influence.
The Peak: A strong sense of euphoria washes over you. Colors look brighter, and music sounds better.
The Crash: After about 45 minutes, the Dos Si Dos genetics take over. A heavy, sedative stone drops onto the body. The energy evaporates, replaced by a desire to sit down and do nothing.
The Sleep: In high doses, it is a powerful sleep aid.
Best For: Evening relaxation, party scenarios (at the start), treating depression, muscle pain, and insomnia.
Growing Dos Si Dos 33: The Colorful Compact
This is one of the most resilient "American Genetics" strains available in seed form.
Growth Structure
The Appearance: It is visually spectacular. The plant often turns violet, purple, and almost black, contrasting with bright lime-green leaves. It is covered in resin.
The Size: It grows Short and Compact. It rarely exceeds 90cm indoors, making it perfect for growers with height restrictions.
The Yield: Very High. Despite its small size, it produces dense, heavy nuggets.
The Resilience: Unlike many "Cookie" strains which can be finicky, Dos Si Dos 33 is remarkably resistant to mold and spider mites. It is tough enough for beginners.
The Time: It finishes flowering in 8 to 9 weeks (60–65 days).
Grower’s Tip: Because it grows so short and bushy, you don't need to do much training. However, defoliation (removing fan leaves) is crucial to let light hit the lower buds, or they will end up as "popcorn."
Final Verdict: The Purple Powerhouse
Dos Si Dos 33 is a strain that delivers on the hype. It combines the two most popular flavor profiles of the modern era—Cookies and Gelato—into a package that is easy to grow, yields heavily, and looks incredible in the jar. It offers a high that satisfies both the mind and the body, making it a versatile choice for any smoker. If you want a strain that tastes like a lime-infused dessert and hits like a heavyweight boxer, this is the number 33 you need.
You should choose Dos Si Dos 33 if:
You love "Cookies/Gelato" flavors.
You have Limited Height (Compact grower).
You want Bag Appeal (Purple/Frosty).
You want a High Yield/High Potency combo.
