Fire Breather
Also known as: Fire Breather OG, Fire Breather Kush
Fire Breather Strain Overview
Fire Breather is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California and Oregon. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated among cultivators, but it is generally accepted to be a cross between Fire OG and an unknown heavy-hitting indica, possibly a Kush variety. First appearing in commercial markets around 2015-2017, Fire Breather has established itself as a potent option for experienced consumers seeking strong effects.
The strain's name references both its lineage and its reported effects. Visually, Fire Breather typically produces dense, conical buds with a structure reminiscent of its Fire OG parent. The flowers display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are often resinous and sticky to the touch.
Fire Breather is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fuel-like undertones with sweeter, earthier notes. The strain has gained particular attention for its potency and balanced effects, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, Fire Breather has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities and is frequently available in dispensaries in legal states where it is cultivated.

Fire Breather Strain Growing Information
Fire Breather is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Fire Breather plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Adequate airflow is important during flowering due to the dense bud structure.
