Strain Overview
Chimera #3 is the keeper pheno from Beleaf Cannabis’s Chimera line, the one that has been winning awards and pulling cultivators since the line dropped. The cross is White Truffle stacked on top of The Creature, two heavy-resin parents that bring earthy savory funk and chemmy gassy structure into the same plant. The #3 designation marks the phenotype that pulled both parents forward in the right proportions, the one breeders kept and the one growers chase.
This is a connoisseur cut. Loud, rare, and uncompromising on flavor. She does not run cleanly for a beginner, but in the hands of someone who has run their fourth or fifth Cookies-line plant, she pays out big. Resin density is in the top tier of anything we carry. Bag appeal is unmistakable, with the kind of frosted-truffle look that turns dispensary buyers around at the door.

Lineage & History: The Pheno That Earned the Number
White Truffle is one of the most recognizable cuts in the Gorilla Butter / Peanut Butter Breath family, an indica-leaning hybrid with a savory mushroom-funk note layered over creamy gas. She brings density, frost, and a savory back palate that immediately separates her from the average dessert cross.
The Creature is the chemmy-fuel side of the cross. A heavy resin producer with old-school chem genetics in her background, she contributes the gas and the structure that holds the plant up under her own weight. The Creature is the parent that gives Chimera #3 her bracket-thick colas and her aggressive frost output.
Beleaf Cannabis ran a phenohunt across the seed line and pulled three keepers, numbered #1, #2, and #3. The #3 is the one that landed on the most cultivator menus, the pheno that hit “all White Truffle, all Creature, no compromise” instead of leaning hard one way. She moved through clone-only networks for the better part of a year before showing up on dispensary shelves under her own name. The cut we ship is the one that wins flavor competitions, not a seed re-pop.
Flavor & Aroma
Crack a jar of dialed Chimera #3 and the savory hits first. Mushroom funk, garlic, a creamy umami note that does not show up in many strains. Inside two breaths the gas climbs in: chemmy, slightly sour, with a citrus top note from the limonene that keeps the savory side from going one-dimensional. Underneath everything sits a peppery caryophyllene base that holds the nose together.
On the inhale, gas leads. Thick, smooth, slightly sour, with the kind of fuel-cream mid-palate that pulls a slow exhale out of you. Mid-bowl the savory side shows up clean: garlic, mushroom, a faint truffle-skin oiliness that lingers at the back of the tongue. The exhale is long, herbaceous, and finishes with a creamy-funky aftertaste that sticks for ten minutes.
Live rosin from this cut runs heavy. Head retention out of fresh-frozen is in the top tier of anything we carry. The savory side gets even louder in solventless extraction, where the mushroom funk gets concentrated and the gas thins out slightly. Flower out of a glass piece pushes the chemmy gas forward in the first half of the bowl. Both formats are excellent. The flower is the move for the full picture.
Effects & What to Expect
Chimera #3 opens slow and lands heavy. The first ten minutes are quietly euphoric, mood up but not racy, the kind of clear-headed lift that lets you finish what you started before the body shows up. Around minute fifteen the warmth rolls in, starting in the shoulders and pulling down through the chest. By minute twenty she is in full body settle.
The peak runs two hours plus and tapers slowly. Late in the session she pulls toward the couch hard. Eyes get heavy. Conversation thins out. This is a strain that earns the indica-leaning label honestly, and on the higher THC samples that test in the 26-28% range, she has put more than one experienced smoker straight to sleep without warning.
This is a 7 PM to bedtime strain. Solo she pairs with the end of a long day: a slow movie, a hot meal, a quiet hour with a book. In a small group the early phase is talkative, the late phase is everyone-on-the-couch. Recreational, late-evening, knockout-adjacent. A serious rotation pick for anyone who wants flavor stacked on weight stacked on more weight.
Growing Chimera #3
She is an intermediate-to-advanced grow that rewards experience and a tight room. Indoor flip to chop runs 8 to 9 weeks, with most growers pulling around day 60 for peak terps and day 65 for max weight. Outdoor she finishes early October in temperate zones, but she does not love wet falls. Light dep is her best outdoor format. Stretch is on the lower side, 1.3x to 1.5x, and she trains beautifully into a low SCROG.
Left untrained, Chimera #3 builds a chunky bush with multiple even main colas, a White Truffle structure inherited cleanly. Top her at the 4th node, pull eight mains, and let the canopy fill. The colas come in fat, dense, and almost identical in size. Yields land at 500 to 650 g/m squared indoor under 1000W equivalents in dialed rooms, on the higher end for an indica-leaning cut. Outdoor light dep scales to 700-1000g per plant in optimal conditions.
She is a heavy feeder. Push N higher than average through veg, hit P-K hard from week 3 of flower, and keep Cal-Mag at 250-300 ppm through the whole bloom cycle. She will tip-burn fast if you back the feed off too soon, but she will also fade beautifully in the last 10 days if you flush at the right moment. The savory terps come from a mineral-rich finish, not a starvation flush. Coco and living soil express her loudest. Hydro pulls the heaviest weight.
The catch is humidity. Bracts stack tight by week 5 and the inner colas pack hard enough that anything over 50% RH in late flower is a rot risk. Crank airflow, defoliate aggressively at week 3, and run a dehumidifier in the back third. She is also slow to dry. Plan a 14-day hang minimum at 60 degrees and 60% RH, then cure 30 days before you decide what you have. The flavor lands harder at day 45.

FAQ
Is the cut HLVd-screened?
Yes. Every mother in our program is tissue-cultured and tested for hop latent viroid before any clones cut. We retest on a rolling schedule and pull any plant that shows even early signal.
Is this the same #3 from the original Beleaf hunt?
Yes. The cut we hold is the verified Chimera #3 keeper, not a Bx1 seed re-pop. We tracked the lineage back to the original release before bringing her in.
How does she do in coco vs soil?
Coco gives you faster turns and louder gas. Living soil pulls the savory truffle-mushroom side forward and stacks more weight on the colas. Both work. Pick the medium that matches your style.
*Is she beginner friendly?
