The Breath
Also known as: The Breath OG, Breath OG
The Breath Strain Overview
The Breath is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its distinctive aroma profile and well-rounded effects. The strain was developed by Thug Pug Genetics, a breeder known for creating unique cultivars with complex terpene expressions. While its exact genetic lineage is often debated within cannabis communities, it is widely believed to be a cross between Mendo Breath and an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype, combining the sweet, doughy characteristics of Mendo Breath with the classic pine and fuel notes of OG varieties.
The strain's name derives from its pronounced aromatic qualities, which many users describe as having a 'breathy' or expansive quality when smelled or consumed. The Breath typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure, often displaying deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The pistils (hairs) are usually orange or rust-colored, creating visual contrast against the darker foliage.
Notable features include its complex flavor profile that evolves during consumption, starting with earthy, gassy notes and transitioning to sweeter, doughy undertones on the exhale. The Breath has gained particular attention among connoisseurs for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in craft cannabis circles and has been used in breeding projects to develop other 'Breath' phenotype variations.

The Breath Strain Growing Information
The Breath is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. Flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields when properly cultivated, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plant exhibits a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, requiring some training (such as low-stress training or topping) to maximize light penetration and bud development. It adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over environmental factors. Preferred growing conditions include stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering). The Breath responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from proper flushing before harvest. Plant height is typically medium, reaching 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring for common cannabis pests.
