D Lish strain guide
D Lish, often written D-Lish, is a balanced hybrid of Zkittlez and Sweet Retreat. It's known for a sweet, candy-like smell of berry bubblegum and creamy citrus, and people describe it as upbeat, creative and happy.
Where does D Lish come from?
Sources agree on the cross: Zkittlez, sometimes listed as The Original Z, paired with Sweet Retreat. Who bred it is less clear. One seed database lists it under Wizard Trees, while a grow database credits Doja Seeds, so the breeder is not well documented.
The name is a play on "delish", a nod to its dessert-sweet smell.
What does D Lish smell and taste like?
Expect sweet first: berry bubblegum, creamy citrus and candy-like fruit, with soft cookie dough and dessert notes behind it. Some people also pick up tropical fruit, earth or a little diesel.
We couldn't find a published terpene profile for D Lish, so we won't guess at one. The flavour usually follows the smell, sweet and fruity on the inhale with a creamy finish.
D Lish effects: what people report
People most often describe D Lish as uplifted, energetic and creative, with a happy, euphoric start. As it settles, many report a calm body feel that doesn't get too heavy, which fits its balanced hybrid label.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the complaint that comes up most.
How strong is D Lish?
D Lish is usually a high-THC strain. Strain listings most often put it in the mid-20s, with some as high as 30% THC, and individual products we found ranged from about 16% to 28%. CBD is usually very low.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The number on your label is for that batch, and it matters more than the strain's usual range.
Buying D Lish in Canada
Search for both spellings, D Lish and D-Lish. Since more than one breeder is linked to it, smell and strength can vary between growers.
You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that candy smell.
D Lish vs Zkittlez
Zkittlez is D Lish's parent, and you can smell it in the sweet, fruity candy side. D Lish adds creamier, dessert-like notes, closer to bubblegum and cookie dough, and it tends to test a good deal higher in THC. The feel differs too: Zkittlez is usually described as calm and relaxed, while D Lish gets called more energetic and creative. If you want a mellow candy strain, try Zkittlez. If you want something sweet with more lift, try D Lish.
