Deep Breath X Aph X Mazar by Landrace Bureau
Deep Breath × APH × Mazar
Deep Breath X Aph X Mazar is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Landrace Bureau, combining heirloom Afghan genetics with modern breeding. It is recognized for its resin production and deeply relaxing effects, making it suitable for evening use.
Appearance and Morphology
This cultivar produces stout plants with dense, compact buds that have a significant weight for their size. Expect abundant trichome coverage, giving the buds a frosted appearance, and thick, resinous structures ideal for extraction. The plants typically feature broad, dark green leaves that may exhibit purpling in cooler temperatures, with tight internodal spacing.
Bud formations are often described as firm, resembling golf balls or soda cans. The morphology is well-suited for both connoisseur flower production and solventless hash making, with sticky, oily resin being a common characteristic.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of Deep Breath X Aph X Mazar is a complex blend, leaning towards traditional Afghan hash, cedar, and incense notes, complemented by an undercurrent of sweetness. Modern influences add hints of berry, cream, and potentially fuel or gas. Upon grinding, notes of black pepper, clove, and sandalwood become apparent, sometimes with a bright citrus zest.
Flavors mirror the aroma, presenting a hash-forward earthiness with toasted spice and a creamy-sweet foundation. Inhaling may reveal cedar and incense, followed by berry syrup or cookie-dough tones, while exhaling often leaves a lingering peppery warmth and a resinous finish.
Effects
Deep Breath X Aph X Mazar is characterized by its deeply sedating and relaxing effects, consistent with its indica-forward genetics and Afghan lineage. It is primarily recommended for evening use, promoting comfort and tranquility.
The strain is known for delivering a heavy sensation, often described as narcotic, which can lead to profound physical relaxation. Its potency and deeply calming nature make it a preferred choice for unwinding after a long day.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain is predominantly THC-dominant, with CBD levels typically below 1%. While specific terpene percentages are not detailed, the aroma and flavor profiles suggest the presence of Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene, contributing to its earthy, peppery, and citrus notes, respectively. Other terpenes like Linalool, Pinene, and Humulene may also be present, adding complexity.
The genetic background, particularly the Mazar and APH influence, points towards a chemotype rich in resin, which can also mean meaningful trace amounts of minor cannabinoids like CBG. The overall cannabinoid profile supports its reputation for potent effects and dense resin production.
Growing Characteristics
Deep Breath X Aph X Mazar is considered grower-friendly, exhibiting consistent canopy height and modest stretch, characteristic of well-selected Afghan-leaning crosses. It features high calyx-to-leaf ratios, potentially reducing trimming time. The plants are robust with sturdy branches and tight internodes, suitable for various cultivation environments.
Flowering time is relatively short, benefiting from the Afghan heritage. Yields are generally good, with dense bud formations. While generally resilient, some Deep Breath-leaning phenotypes might exhibit minor foxtailing under high light intensity without proper environmental control, which can be managed by maintaining moderate canopy temperatures.
Origins and Lineage
This cultivar is a tri-cross developed by Landrace Bureau, intentionally combining the resin-rich structure of hashplant genetics with modern flavor and potency. It leverages stable Afghan heritage through its parentage.
The lineage includes Mazar, an Afghan landrace derivative known for dense buds and potent resin, and APH, a hashplant-type selection reinforcing resin production and a short flowering cycle. Deep Breath contributes a contemporary hybrid element, enhancing terpene complexity and yield potential.
