Hog's Breath

Hog's Breath is a storied, old-school indica-leaning hybrid whose skunky-cheddar nose gave it a memorable name. Bred in Tennessee by a breeder known as The Hog, then circulated as a revered clone, this cultivar pairs two classic parents: Hindu Kush and Afghani. Its dense, lime-to-forest-green flowers are typically short and bushy in the garden, often finishing at roughly 90–110 cm with chunky calyxes and thick trichome coverage. Expect a medium yield, around 400 g/m2 indoors, with a swift 56–63 day bloom. On the palate, Hog's Breath layers sharp cheese and pungent earth with a savory, old-hash undertone, reflecting a terpene trio led by myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene. Effects tend to unfold as a warm, full-body calm and a mellow headspace that can tilt creative or even a bit giggly before slipping toward drowsy. Potency varies by cut and grow, but THC frequently sits in the mid-teens with occasional high-test outliers; CBD remains trace. The strain's pedigree earned global recognition when it took the 2002 High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Indica, cementing its reputation as a heavy-hitting classic. For growers and collectors chasing genuine throwback character, Hog's Breath offers the unmistakable funk and compact, manageable structure of its mountain-born lineage.
