Dondo of the Dead is a sativa-dominant hybrid, about 70 percent sativa and 30 percent indica, born from the cross of Miss Cleo and Early Lemon Berry. It’s a daytime cultivar that carries a bright, citrus-infused flavor and an uplifting high that tends to linger for hours. The buds themselves are striking: long, grape-shaped emerald-green nugs with amber undertones, thick orange hairs, touches of purple, and a frosty bloom of tiny amber-tinted white crystals.
When you break the buds, the aroma follows the taste: a fruity berry overtone layered with citrusy grapefruit, and a sweet, sugary edge that amplifies the fruitiness. The scent is complemented by whispers of earth and pine and a woody backdrop, giving the nose a vivid, almost tropical forest character. The flavor seems to carry through to the finish, leaving a lingering sweetness on the tongue.
The high arrives a few minutes after the final exhale, igniting the mind with a bright energy and a sharpened focus that can spark creativity or help you tackle tasks with a steady pace. It leans social and talkative, making it well suited for gatherings or collaborative work, while the energy remains clear rather than jittery. With average THC around 17–18 percent, Dondo of the Dead is frequently chosen for relieving chronic fatigue, mood swings, and stress, as well as headaches, nausea, and chronic pain.
