Chimera #3

Chimera #3 is a Beleaf Cannabis strain by Leafly‘s account, and this flower comes in five sizes between a single gram and an ounce.

Chimera crossed with White Truffle

Leafly describes Chimera #3 as a genetic cross between Chimera and White Truffle, and it names Winter Sunset #4 and Chimera Crunch as strains bred from it. Leafly’s write-up splits the strain evenly, 50% sativa and 50% indica, and lists it as a hybrid. Our indica vs sativa vs hybrid guide looks at what a 50/50 label like this one does and does not tell a shopper.

Garlic butter, strawberry and white grape

Butter, strawberry and grape are the flavour tags on Leafly’s page for the strain. Its reviewers fill in the detail: one describes a garlic-butter taste with sweet strawberry and earthy notes, others pick up a sweet, fruity grape or white-grape smell and taste, and one simply compares it to pickles.

Purple colouring and a fast grower

Two Leafly reviewers mention purple colouring in the buds, and orange hairs come up as well. Another reviewer calls Chimera #3 a fast grower that likes strong light.

22% THC on Leafly, and what reviewers felt

On Leafly, reviewers most often tag euphoric, happy and energetic, and 14 ratings there average 4.5. Leafly’s description puts THC at 22%, more than twice the 10% level Health Canada names as the upper limit for a first smoke. Its lower-risk advice also starts a first go at 1 or 2 puffs, and it notes that smoke is felt within seconds to minutes but may not peak until 30 minutes have gone by. Under its lower-risk guidelines, a session with Chimera #3 should be followed by 6 hours or more without driving.
