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
Strains that finish at the Beginning of October, any particular terpene profile?
Despite finishing early, these strains have distinct terpene profiles with a vast range of scents and flavours. There is not just one or two common scents that they all have in common!
Are indoor conditions best for finicky strains?
Absolutely. Indoor cultivation is said to be the best for rare, finicky strains that don't thrive outside. By tailoring their habitat, these rare plants are said to be able to thrive and preserve unique cannabis genetics.
How do environmental circumstances affect these strains' lemony taste and smell?
A strain's terpene profile, including lemony qualities, depends on its environment. Legal growers adjust soil type, temperature, humidity, and light to enhance limonene and other terpenes' lemon flavour and scent.
How do regular cannabis seeds handle pests and diseases?
Some regular strains have a built-in pest and disease defence from generations of adaptation to their particular habitats. This innate resilience may mean less chemicals can be used and makes organic farming more practical.
What does hybrid cannabis strain phenotypic variation mean?
Individual plants in a hybrid strain can vary in colour, height, and bud structure. Breeders can improve and stabilise desired traits by selecting certain phenotypes and thereby improve the strain.
