Whale Breath Cannabis Strain Review – Effects, Terpenes & Genetics
60% Indica - 40% Sativa - THC 28%
Genetic Heritage
Whale Breath is a premium hybrid strain developed by the skilled breeders at Atlas Seed, known for producing hardy, high-yielding cannabis varieties. This particular gem is a cross between Apples & Bananas and Mendo Breath, two powerhouse strains with distinct personalities. Apples & Bananas contributes a layered, fruit-forward terpene profile and uplifting head high, while Mendo Breath brings in dense buds, tranquilizing potency, and that unmistakable gassy, creamy aroma.
Together, they create a hybrid that leans indica in effect but retains enough sativa to keep the experience dynamic. Whale Breath inherits its name from the pungent, lingering aroma and sheer weight of its effects — it hits hard, lingers long, and leaves an impression. It’s a strain that appeals to both seasoned cultivators and flavor-focused smokers.

Grow Information
Whale Breath is a photoperiod strain built for serious performance. It’s adaptable to both indoor and outdoor settings, growing to a medium-tall height with sturdy lateral branches and dense, trichome-laden colas. Indoors, expect flowering to finish around 9–10 weeks, with yields in the ballpark of 450–600 g/m².
Outdoors, especially in tropical or subtropical environments like Thailand, this strain can stretch its legs and produce up to 750 grams per plant with the right care. It handles high humidity better than average, making it a solid choice for Southeast Asian climates. Whale Breath responds well to SCROG, topping, and LST, allowing growers to shape the canopy for bigger yields. Its structure is resilient under weight, and it tends to finish with rich purple hues when exposed to cooler nights late in flower.

Aroma and Flavor
Whale Breath is bold on the nose and unforgettable on the tongue. During cultivation, it fills the room with a loud aroma — think sweet rotten fruit, sour gas, and a creamy funk that sticks to your nostrils.
Upon curing, the scent deepens, revealing banana pudding, sour apple candy, and a back-end of diesel and spice. The flavor mirrors the aroma beautifully: creamy, fruity, slightly peppery, and rich with every pull. This is a flavor chaser’s dream strain — complex, weird, and wonderful.
