Garlic Mist: A Terpene Profile Like No Other
To say that Garlic Mist is unique would be an understatement. This strain is really something special. Breeders skillfully enhanced the desired traits over generations to produce incredible aromas and potent medicinal properties.
Garlic Mist inherited most of her pungent terpene profile from parent strain Garlic Bud. This indica-dominant variety first appeared in the 1990s. The strain was famed for its scent of musk, spice, and tanginess. She was merged with Cali Sativa Haze to add lively sativa genetics to the mix. Garlic Mist features a perfect balance of 50% sativa genetics and 50% indica.
Garlic Mist offers both indica and sativa effects. Her even genetic split is extremely apparent during the high. After hitting a bong or blunt, you’ll experience her sativa effects take hold. A jolt of energy darts toward the mind and instantly elevates the mood. The senses sharpen, and it’s not uncommon to fall into a giggle fit. Eventually, the high tapers off into a calm body stone. The indica effects melt the muscles, trigger the munchies, and help to relieve aches and pains.
Garlic Mist flowers produce an unusual yet pleasant smell. During the flowering phase, the grow room fills up with aromas of garlic and spices. She smells much more savoury than most strains. It’s a mouthwatering experience. Slightly different terpenes come to the fore when smoking her buds, as tastes of garlic, lemon, and citrus roll across the tongue.
Garlic Mist produces massive yields indoors and outdoors, yet adopts more of an indica growth pattern. Indoor plants reach a medium height and provide a return of 600gr/m². Expect to harvest her buds after a flowering time of around 65 days. Plants grown outdoors also maintain a medium height, yet produce a substantial yield of 700gr/plant. You won’t be running out of bud anytime soon! Outdoor plants will be ready to harvest in early October.

Strain FAQ
How does the herbal flavour come about?
The terpene Humulene gives cannabis a hop-like, woody, earthy, herbal smell. Humulene, found in hops and herbs like coriander and basil, is said to add sophistication to herbal scents.
How do early finishers handle environmental changes?
Strains finishing by early October are recognised for their weather resistance. They are said to be able to stay healthy and productive as the weather changes from late summer to autumn because of their robustness.
Why is creating a 50/50 Indica/Sativa cannabis strain so difficult?
Getting the right 50/50 blend is like walking a tightrope! Breeders carefully cross and recross generations of plants to lock down the proper qualities. Creating a constant Indica-Sativa blend in their offspring can take years of painstaking devotion!
