Peanut Butter Breath
Also known as: Peanut Butter, Peanut Breath, PBB
Overview
Peanut Butter Breath is an award-winning hybrid cannabis strain bred by ThugPug Genetics through crossing Do-Si-Dos and Mendo Breath F2. Despite its balanced 50% indica/50% sativa genetics, this strain expresses predominantly indica-like effects. The strain gained significant recognition in the cannabis community, winning first place at Toronto's 2019 Karma Cup in the indica category and third place in the Mixed Light (Greenhouse) category at the 2018 Emerald Cup. Additional accolades include multiple awards at various cannabis cups across North America.
The strain features distinctive visual characteristics with long, grape-shaped olive green nugs adorned with bright red-orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty white, purple-tinted trichomes. These dense, resinous buds exhibit a striking appearance that distinguishes them from other cultivars. The name derives from its unique flavor profile, which lives up to its moniker with pronounced peanut butter undertones accompanied by earthy, herbal, and nutty notes. The aroma combines sweet and spicy elements with hints of citrus, pine, and diesel, creating a complex olfactory experience.
Peanut Butter Breath is known for its high potency and sedating effects, making it particularly popular for evening use. The strain's therapeutic applications include reported relief from stress, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, nausea, and appetite loss. Cultivation requires moderate to advanced growing experience, as the plant is somewhat temperamental and susceptible to environmental pressures, mold, and pests. It thrives in Mediterranean-like conditions with carefully controlled humidity levels.
