Strain Overview
Permanent Chimera #89 is one of the loudest releases out of the Beleaf Cannabis catalog over the last two years, and the cross is a small genealogy lesson in modern American breeding. The mother is Chimera #2, Beleaf’s keeper out of his original White Truffle x The Creature pheno hunt, which is one of the most-quoted gas-and-cream lines in the Sherb-derivative scene. The father is Permanent Marker, the Seed Junky keeper out of Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb BX, which itself is one of the dominant flavor strains of the post-2020 dispensary era. Stack the two together and you get a plant that pulls the gas and cream of the Chimera mother through the funk-and-marker terps of the Permanent Marker father, with a resin production that genuinely outpaces both parents. The #89 keeper is the cut growers chase, and that is what GSRH ships.

Lineage and History: A Beleaf Heavy Hitter Built On Two Modern Keepers
Beleaf Cannabis is the breeder behind a long catalog of dessert-and-gas crosses out of the modern Cookies-adjacent scene, and the Chimera line is one of his flagship projects. The original Chimera came from White Truffle (Peanut Butter Breath x Gorilla Butter) x The Creature, and Chimera #2 was the gas-and-cream keeper out of that hunt. She brought the line a thick caryophyllene profile, a sweet cream front end, and a structure that finished dense and resin-heavy.
The father, Permanent Marker, is the Seed Junky cut that took over the dispensary scene starting in 2022. The genetics are Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb BX, and the keeper phenotype is famous for a sharpie-marker funk that genuinely smells like permanent marker on the front of the nose, layered over a sweet cream base. When Beleaf crossed Permanent Marker into Chimera #2, the result was a stack of two of the loudest modern terp profiles, and the seed run produced multiple keeper phenotypes. The #89 selection is the one that pulled the most resin and the most balanced flavor expression, with the marker funk coming through cleanly without overpowering the gas-and-cream base. Beleaf released the cut in limited rooms first, and it has since become one of the most-asked-for plants in the modern post-PM lineup.
Flavor and Aroma
The first wave is unmistakable. Sharpie marker funk hits the nose first, sharp and slightly chemical in the same way Permanent Marker hits, layered immediately on top of a thick gas note that sits behind the marker. Stick your nose deeper and the cream comes through. Sweet, rich, with a vanilla-and-cookie-dough sweetness that holds the gas and the marker in place. Caryophyllene gives the whole profile a black-pepper edge. Limonene runs through the back end and brightens it.
Smoke is heavy and rolling. The inhale leads with gas and cream, layered, with the marker funk sneaking through on the back of the breath. Mid palate the cookie dough takes over, sweet and dessert-leaning, with a touch of berry from the Jealousy side of the Permanent Marker father. Exhale is where the gas comes back, this time with a long resinous finish that holds on the back of the throat for three to four minutes. She is one of the longest-finishing flavor profiles on the modern menu. Vape low to taste the cream. Burn her in glass to taste the gas and the marker. Rosin pressed from her flower amplifies the marker funk hard, and she is one of the better gas-and-funk rosin profiles in the catalog.
Effects and What to Expect
She is a heavy hybrid. The come-up is medium speed, ten to fifteen minutes from the first pull, and it lands hard in the head before the body catches up. By minute twenty the body weight arrives, and by minute thirty you are settled deep into whatever surface you happen to be sitting on. The headspace is dreamy, slightly euphoric, and noticeably less verbal than the come-up suggests. She is a couch strain at moderate doses and a deep-couch strain at higher doses. Recreational reviewers consistently flag her as an evening cut, the kind you reach for when the day is done and the goal is to actually let go.
This is not a productivity smoke and not a social smoke past the first session. She is the strain you reach for at the end of a long day, the kind of high that turns a heavy week into a quiet evening. The peak runs two hours and the tail goes long, four to five hours of body weight before the comedown settles in. Pair her with a movie, a slow meal, or a late session that does not need to go anywhere. She is wasted on a packed schedule, and she will absolutely put you down if you keep stacking pulls past the first session.
Growing Permanent Chimera #89
She is vigorous. In veg she throws a tall stretchy structure with broad medium-green leaves and a wide internodal spacing that surprises growers expecting a tighter Cookies-leaning build. Plan two or three topping passes during a five to six week veg, plus aggressive LST to manage the stretch and spread the canopy, or she will run away from you in flower and produce a tall narrow plant rather than the dense pyramid she is capable of.
Flip her at 12 inches and expect a 100 to 150 percent stretch, sometimes more. She finishes tall and packs hard during the back half. Indoor she runs 9 to 10 weeks. Most growers chop her at day 63 to 70 once the trichomes go fully cloudy with a touch of amber. Yields are high, which is the Permanent Marker stamp on the cross. She is one of the better-yielding flavor cuts on the modern menu, with reports of 1.8 to 2.2 grams per watt in clean rooms with proper feed.
She is a heavy eater and she likes a tight feed program. Calmag matters from week three onward, and she will throw cal-mag deficiency on lower fans if you slip. Push the P and K through the back half and she packs on weight. She does not love high humidity past week six because her bud density makes her a candidate for late-flower mold, so air movement at the canopy is a must. Outdoor she wants a dry warm climate with a long fall, and she finishes mid to late October in most American latitudes. She holds up well in greenhouses with light dep. For hash she presses to one of the better wash yields on the modern menu, and the rosin is one of the loudest gas-and-marker profiles in the catalog.

FAQ
Why the #89 phenotype specifically?
Beleaf ran the Chimera #2 x Permanent Marker cross and pulled multiple keepers. The #89 selection is the one that balanced the marker funk and the gas-and-cream base most evenly while pulling the highest yield and the densest resin production. She is the keeper for a reason.
Does she really smell like a sharpie marker?
Yes. The Permanent Marker father stamps the cross with the marker funk on the front of the nose, and the keeper phenotype carries it cleanly. The combination of high caryophyllene and the specific terp expression from the PM father is what produces the marker note in real life.
Is she beginner-friendly?
Intermediate. She tops well and trains well, but she stretches hard in flower and her bud density makes her a late-flower mold candidate if airflow is poor. A second-time grower with airflow can absolutely pull her well.
How long does she actually flower?
Nine to ten weeks indoor. Most growers chop her at day 63 to 70. Pull her early at week eight and you lose the marker funk, which mostly develops in the last fourteen days alongside the resin packing.
Does she handle outdoor?
In dry warm climates with a long fall, yes. She finishes mid to late October and she does not love high humidity
