Gator Breath

That Motorbreath is one parent of Gator Breath appears in all the descriptions reviewed; for the second parent, the designations diverge. According to consistent accounts, the strain was bred by Jungle Boys, a collective from Los Angeles. The crossing partner comes from the Triangle Kush line, and its exact origin in particular is given differently depending on the source.

Genetics and Origin:

A strain profile for the Jungle Boys version records the lineage as Motor Breath × Triangle Kush with a backcrossed male. US producers write Motorbreath × TK Bx1 on their product pages, meaning a first backcross of Triangle Kush. Two further descriptions specify the Motorbreath side as selection #15, but give Triangle Kush once as Bx1 and once as bx2. The seed companies Blim Burn Seeds and United Cannabis Seeds, by contrast, list Motor Breath × (Triangle Kush × Triangle Larry) without mentioning a backcross.

The classification varies as well: one producer description lists Gator Breath as an indica, one strain description as an indica-dominant hybrid with a 70 % indica share, and another simply as a hybrid.

Jungle Boys has used the strain in its own breeding. Documented examples include Motor Breath × Gator Breath, which crosses in Motor Breath a second time, as well as Coma × Gator Breath and Cochino × Gator Breath, all 3 described as regular seeds.

THC and CBD Content:

A widely circulated strain description gives 26 % THC and 1 % CBG. Product figures from 3 US producers range from 26 to 29.2 % THC, with values varying by batch, cultivation and phenotype; one of them reports 0 % CBD. For one batch of medical flowers of this strain, 27.74 % total THC with 31.22 % THCA is stated. The same single measurement includes a terpene profile led by β-caryophyllene (1.15 %), followed by limonene (0.42 %), humulene (0.35 %) and linalool (0.23 %). Myrcene was at 0.09 % there, although strain descriptions count it alongside caryophyllene and limonene among the defining terpenes.

The breeders of the feminized versions list higher values: Blim Burn Seeds states 30 to 33 % THC, United Cannabis Seeds 33 % THC and 0.2 % CBD.

Aroma and Flavor:

The descriptions present 2 contrasting aroma profiles. One centers on fuel and chemicals: diesel, a chemical note, butter and chestnut, along with pine, earth and skunk; one producer description adds fermented and sour notes. The other is fruity with cherry, grape or berries, sweetened and accompanied by menthol or mint as well as spice. This reading is held by Blim Burn Seeds and several product descriptions.

User reports cover both directions. Earthy, kushy and gassy notes are mentioned, as is a fruity-buttery sweetness; one report compares the taste to candy. Citrus, mango and a nutty smoke also appear. According to one report, the flower tastes more intense than it smells.

Effects:

Reports describe Gator Breath as strong; one report considers it too strong for inexperienced users. Alongside relaxation and euphoria, tingling, giddiness, talkativeness, hunger and heightened desire are mentioned; the latter is also noted in a portrait of the breeder. Several reports speak of a creeping onset that at first stimulates or focuses and later turns into physical calm and sleepiness.

How heavy the strain feels is reported differently. Some reports stress that one stays functional without being stuck on the sofa, others describe exactly this sinking in alongside a strong head effect. Side effects include restlessness and feelings of anxiety, in part as paranoia in the early phase, along with dizziness and dry mouth. One report mentions heart palpitations and cold sweats, another found the smoke harsh after prolonged use.

Versions from Different Breeders:

According to a strain profile, the original Jungle Boys version never appeared as a feminized seed; it notes about 65 days of flowering and suitability for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse cultivation. Premium Cultivars offers seeds under the name and explicitly cites the Jungle Boys cross.

Feminized seeds with the lineage Motor Breath × (Triangle Kush × Triangle Larry) are listed by Blim Burn Seeds and United Cannabis Seeds. None of the descriptions indicates whether the plants used match the Jungle Boys genetics. United Cannabis Seeds speaks of an especially strong mother plant and a selection of both parents geared toward flavor and potency. Blim Burn Seeds states a 70 % indica share, 8 to 10 weeks of flowering indoors, harvest in mid-October outdoors, and yields of 350 to 400 g/m² indoors and 400 to 600 g per plant outdoors. The breeder describes a compact, easy-to-manage plant with dense, resinous flowers.
