Peanut Butter Breath is a strong hybrid cannabis strain created in Michigan around 2017 by crossing Do-Si-Dos and Mendo Breath. It has high THC levels (usually 20-26%), making it too potent for beginners. The strain smells peppery, citrusy, and slightly floral. Effects start slow but build quickly—first you feel a mood lift, then about 15 minutes later, deep body relaxation kicks in. Users often feel euphoric, stress-free, and very hungry. The relaxation can be intense, making you want to stay on the couch. Effects last 2-3 hours when smoked. It's best used when you have no responsibilities.

Beta-Caryophyllene (peppery, spicy, woody, fuel-like notes, anti-inflammatory potential); Limonene (citrus, lemon-lime zest, mood-lifting, anxiety-reducing); Linalool (floral, lavender, minty-clean finish, calming, sedative)

Humulene (earthy, hoppy, woody, appetite suppression); Myrcene (herbal, musky, earthy, sedative, couch-lock potential); Pinene (pine, fresh evergreen, uplifting); Rare: Phellandrene (woody, eucalyptus); Valencene (sweet citrus, orange peel)

Mental: Euphoric uplifted mood; cerebral looseness; stress/anxiety/rumination quieting; mild spaciness at higher doses; enhanced sensory appreciation; introspective contemplative headspace; potential giggles and social warmth. Physical: Deep full-body relaxation with tingling waves; muscle tension relief (neck, shoulders, back); heavy limbs; couch-lock potential; pain relief; pronounced appetite stimulation (significant munchies).

2-3 hours (inhalation, peak in first hour); 4-6+ hours (edibles with heavier body component); Gradual taper in hours 2-4 with returning mental clarity while body remains relaxed.

Onset: 3-5 minutes (smoked/vaped). Described as creeper - initial onset manageable, then amplifies 10-20 minutes later with stronger second wave. Two-stage progression. Minutes 0-5: cerebral lift, mood elevation, tension loosening. Minutes 5-20: tingling from skull/neck radiating through body in waves, buzzing euphoric sensation. Minutes 20-90 (peak): mental haze, dreamy introspection, weighted body, muscle relaxation, play-dough/melting sensation, couch-lock common, pronounced munchies.

Dry mouth; dry eyes; potential anxiety or edginess in predisposed individuals or at high doses; dizziness; potential next-day grogginess with high nighttime doses; temporary impairment of coordination and cognition.

Hybrid

Morning or daytime use (unless no responsibilities); situations requiring alertness, focus, or coordination; operating vehicles or machinery; high-stress social situations; professional settings; formal events or first dates; any activity requiring sharp mental performance.

Bred by ThugPug Genetics (Michigan, ~2017). Cross of Do-Si-Dos × Mendo Breath F2 (Studly Spewright cut). Do-Si-Dos contributes dense trichomes, earthy-sweet flavors, euphoric effects from Girl Scout Cookies/Face Off OG lineage. Mendo Breath F2 brings resin production, vanilla-caramel notes, sedative indica effects from OGKB × Mendo Montage. Won 3rd place Emerald Cup 2018 (Mixed Light); 1st place Karma Cup 2019 (Indica). Over 168 documented descendants.

THC: 18-28% (most commonly 20-26%); CBD: <1% (typically 0.06-0.5%, often below quantifiable limits); CBG: 0.3-1.0% in some batches; CBN: trace amounts in older flower. High-THC cultivar in modern dessert hybrid potency tier. Not beginner-friendly due to potency.

Do-Si-Dos (parent strain; earthy-sweet, deep relaxation, more indica-dominant, less nutty/more minty-cookie flavor, faster onset); Mendo Breath (parent strain; sedative, vanilla-caramel notes, more purely sedative with less cerebral clarity); Wedding Cake (dessert hybrid, nutty-vanilla-sweet, 20-27% THC, more energizing cerebral, less couch-lock); Gelato (balanced hybrid, creamy-smooth, 20-26% THC, more fruit-forward berry-citrus, less nutty-earthy, more mentally stimulating); GMO Cookies (pungent-earthy, 24-30% THC, heavy body effects, savory garlic-diesel-funk aroma, more intense immediate couch-lock); Sunshine Daydream (indica-dominant, sleep-inducing, ~25% THC, more immediate sedation, fruity-floral vs nutty); Peanut Butter Runtz (descendant: PBB × Runtz, even heavier body effects, more candy-sweet, overwhelming for new users); Apple Fritter (balanced hybrid creeper, 22-28% THC, apple-pastry flavor, more uplifting mental effects)

Moderate to advanced difficulty (NOT beginner-friendly); Requires precise humidity control; Vulnerable to mold and mildew due to dense buds; Nutrient-sensitive (easily burns but needs more food than some strains); Branches require support during late flower due to heavy bud weight; Thrives in Mediterranean climate.

8-10 weeks (56-70 days); Most phenotypes finish 8-9 weeks; sativa-leaning expressions may push 10 weeks; Outdoor harvest: early-to-mid October (Northern Hemisphere).

Indoor: 400-500g/m² (8-10 oz per square meter); Outdoor: 600-700g per plant (10-12+ oz per plant); Moderate yields - prioritizes quality over quantity; Exceptional potency and terpene content justify lower output.

Medium to tall height (3-6 feet indoors, 6-8+ feet outdoors); Sativa-influenced stretch during early flower; Long, leggy branches requiring training (topping, LST, SCROG); Dense indica-style buds despite sativa growth pattern; Grape-shaped to oblong calyxes; Heavy trichome production; Minimal leaf-to-flower ratio.

Visual: Dense chunky buds, olive-green base with purple/lavender streaks, bright orange-red pistils, thick undisturbed trichome coverage (milky-white heads), minimal sugar leaf, tight trim; Texture: Slightly springy when squeezed, sticky resin coating fingers, breaks apart with effort; Aroma: Immediate nutty-earthy punch, secondary diesel/pine/vanilla-sweet/peppery-spice notes, fresh and pungent (not hay-like or musty); Cure: Properly dried (7-10 days) and cured (2-4+ weeks) for terpene preservation and smooth smoke.
