Garlic Breath
Also known as: GMO x Mendo Breath, Garlic Breath 2.0
Overview
Garlic Breath is a super rare indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing GMO (Garlic Cookies) and Mendo Breath. Originally bred by ThugPug Genetics around 2016, this strain has gained significant popularity within the cannabis community for its distinctive characteristics. Named for its surprisingly garlicky flavor, Garlic Breath is a favorite of indica lovers for its super calming high that's perfect for a late night when you just can't seem to get to sleep. The strain has spade-shaped minty green nugs with bright orange hairs and a sandy coating of amber crystal trichomes. Garlic Breath has a deliciously savory garlic and herbs flavor that lingers long after your final toke. The aroma is of sharp pungent chemicals with a notable punch of earthy garlic and herbs. This cultivar has become increasingly sought-after despite its rarity, with at least 36 direct descendants documented in the seedfinder strain database, demonstrating its significant impact on modern cannabis breeding programs.

Growing Information
Based on reports from growers, the original strain was fairly easy to cultivate, considerably stretchy (some growers say that original Garlic Breath plants more than doubled in size during bloom), and ready to harvest after 9–11 weeks of flowering. Garlic Breath has a flowering time typically between 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in September to October. Indoor yields range from 5-12 ounces per square meter (1-2 oz/ft²), while outdoor plants can produce 15-20 ounces per plant. The strain is considered moderately challenging to grow, especially for novices, as plants are sensitive to environmental changes and prone to molds, pests, and diseases. Optimal growing conditions include temperatures of 68-77°F (20-25°C) and relative humidity levels of 40-50% during vegetative stage and 30-40% during flowering. Growing indoors under consistent lighting and heat provides the best, most repeatable results, with regular topping recommended to improve ultimate production.
