This yellow Dragons Breath comes from the very first Dragons Breath strain. Pods are longer than the other two newer shorter pod Dragons Breaths which look like 7PX and 7DX. The pods can vary but most are long almost ghost pods, but we see stingers in many pods. Pods are crazy hot just like the red pods they smell very nice. It’s a great aroma fruity and floral. Plants grow well and should be started in Jan or Feb for best yields. Pods are medium, spongy walled but dry out good.
