Motorbreath by Pisces Genetics
Chemdog × SFV OG
Motorbreath is an indica-leaning hybrid bred by Pisces Genetics, recognized for its significant potency and pronounced diesel aroma. It combines the genetic influence of Chemdog and San Fernando Valley OG, resulting in a cultivar celebrated for its depth and strength.
Appearance
Motorbreath produces dense, resinous buds characteristic of OG-style strains, often appearing medium to large and spear-shaped. The flowers typically display deep green coloration, sometimes with purple hues, and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosted appearance. Fiery orange pistils are a common visual feature.
The plant's structure is indicative of its indica-dominant nature, with moderately tight internodal spacing and a stout frame. Vigorous lateral branching can occur with early training, and the plant benefits from support as the heavy colas develop weight during flowering.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Motorbreath is dominated by intense fuel-like notes, including diesel and kerosene, complemented by a chemical tang and skunky undertones. Underlying scents of damp earth and a peppery heat are also present, with some phenotypes offering hints of lemon, pine, or even savory garlic notes.
Its flavor closely mirrors the aroma, delivering a strong diesel and petroleum taste on the inhale, followed by lemon-pine, cracked pepper, and earthy notes on the exhale. Some users detect a subtle herbal or onion-skin character. The flavor is often described as potent and lingering, with a thick, resinous mouthfeel.
Effects
Motorbreath is known for delivering strong, enveloping body effects, consistent with its indica-leaning profile. Consumers often report a sense of calm and a significant increase in appetite.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The dominant terpene in Motorbreath is frequently reported as myrcene, contributing to its heavy body effects and rich aroma. Other notable terpenes include limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, and humulene, which contribute to its complex aromatic and potential therapeutic profile.
This strain is recognized for its high THC content, typically averaging 26% or more, with some batches testing significantly higher. CBD levels are generally minimal, usually below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG may be present in small amounts.
Growing
Motorbreath plants exhibit an indica-leaning morphology with dense bud development and a significant resin output. The cultivar responds well to training techniques such as topping and SCROG, and its dense canopy may require defoliation for improved airflow.
The plant's structure requires support during the flowering stage due to the weight of the developing colas. Its high resin production suggests potential for above-average yields in hash extraction.
Origins & Lineage
Motorbreath was developed by Pisces Genetics, a breeder known for working with elite Chem and OG genetics. It is a cross between Chemdog and San Fernando Valley OG (SFV OG).
The Chemdog lineage is associated with strains like Sour Diesel and GMO, while SFV OG is a well-regarded variant of OG Kush. This genetic combination results in a cultivar that emphasizes potency and a strong fuel-forward profile.
