Mule Breath
Also known as: Mule Breath OG
Mule Breath Strain Overview
Mule Breath is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a cross between the classic strains Animal Mints and OGKB (OG Kush Breath). This lineage combines the powerful, relaxing qualities of OG Kush varieties with the complex flavor profiles of modern dessert strains. Mule Breath emerged in the mid-2010s within the California cannabis scene and has since spread to other legal markets, though it remains more of a connoisseur strain than a mainstream variety.
The strain is visually striking, typically producing dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the buds a shimmering, almost white appearance, indicating high cannabinoid content. The name 'Mule Breath' derives from its unique aroma profile, which combines sweet, earthy notes with a pungent, musky undertone that some users compare to barnyard or animalic scents. This distinctive smell is often described as an acquired taste but is appreciated by enthusiasts seeking complex terpene profiles.
Mule Breath is known for its heavy, sedating effects that are characteristic of indica-dominant strains. The high typically begins with a cerebral euphoria that quickly transitions into deep physical relaxation. Due to its potency, it is generally recommended for evening or nighttime use. The strain has developed a cult following among experienced users who appreciate its strong effects and complex flavor, though its intense aroma can be polarizing. Growers value Mule Breath for its resin production and relatively straightforward cultivation, though it requires careful attention to odor control during flowering.

Mule Breath Strain Growing Information
Mule Breath is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October.

Yields are average to above average, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold. Special considerations include strong odor control requirements during flowering due to the pungent aroma and attention to nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding.
