Platinum Skunk Breath
Also known as: Platinum Skunk Breath OG, PSB
Platinum Skunk Breath Strain Overview
Platinum Skunk Breath is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from several notable lineages. The strain was developed by crossing Platinum OG with Skunk Breath, creating a complex genetic profile that draws from both indica and sativa heritage. While its exact breeding history is not extensively documented in public sources, it appears to have emerged in the 2010s as part of the trend toward high-THC, terpene-rich cultivars. The strain is known within cannabis enthusiast circles but has not achieved widespread commercial distribution, making it somewhat rare compared to more established varieties.
Visually, Platinum Skunk Breath typically produces dense, resin-coated buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The nugs are often dark green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of crystalline trichomes that give the strain its 'platinum' appearance. The buds are usually compact and tightly formed, with a sticky texture that indicates high resin production. The strain's name accurately reflects its aesthetic qualities and aromatic profile.
The most distinctive characteristic of Platinum Skunk Breath is its complex aroma and flavor profile. As the name suggests, it combines skunky, diesel-like notes with sweeter, fruitier undertones. The 'breath' component of the name refers to the pungent, sometimes funky quality that distinguishes it from more conventionally sweet or citrusy strains. This combination of skunky, fuel-like aromas with underlying sweetness creates a unique sensory experience that appeals to connoisseurs seeking distinctive terpene profiles.
