Pro secrets
The secret to unlocking the full potential of Little Dragon lies in temperature control. To preserve its delicate Myrcene terpenes, vaporize at 334°F (168°C) rather than combusting. This triggers the entourage effect, blending its 18% THC with secondary cannabinoids. Highly sedating, this strain is best reserved for late nights or as a bedtime wind-down. Keep snacks nearby, as it is known to stimulate appetite. Beginners should start with a single inhalation due to its fast-acting onset, while seasoned users can appreciate its deep, multi-layered terpene depth.

The flowers stay relatively small and dense; watch humidity closely to prevent bud rot in the tight colas.
Hidden Truth
The name likely refers to the strain's short, stocky growth habit rather than any fire-breathing potency.
