Beleaf Cannabis Description

Chimera is a hybrid cannabis strain with an almost cult-like following. Treasured for her complex aromas and uplifting, energizing effects, Chimera makes for a standout daytime smoke. Read on to learn all there is to know about the Chimera cannabis strain.

History of the Chimera Cannabis Strain

Chimera is a strain most commonly attributed to BeLeaf Cannabis—a breeder based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. BeLeaf says he's had a passion for gardening since the age of 10 and admits to being introduced to cannabis at age 12 after finding his mom's stash of Mexican brick weed. After smoking it with some friends, it was love at first sight, and not long before BeLeaf started experimenting with growing the seeds contained in his mom's supply. As his passion for cannabis grew, BeLeaf found and preserved a wide pool of genetics, some of which he has been releasing through the BeLeaf Cannabis brand since 2015.

Chimera is arguably one of BeLeaf's most famous creations, but he has also created many other strains, including:

• Pina Colada

• Flyin' Hawaiian

• White Inferno

• The Creature

Genetic Lineage of Chimera

Chimera is a hybrid strain descending from White Truffle and The Creature.

White Truffle, as its name suggests, has a dense, dank, and savory aroma. A phenotype of Gorilla Butter (Peanut Butter Breath x Gorilla Glue), White Truffle produces dark flowers with plenty of frosty resin. Its aroma is very strong and skunky, with upfront notes of cream, butter, and nuts. Its flavor, meanwhile, tastes like toasted onions sauteed in generous amounts of butter, and its smoke has an equally greasy, thick texture. Finally, White Truffle's effects can be felt almost instantaneously, producing a strong sense of mental relaxation that's quickly followed by a growing body buzz. Users with a tolerance might enjoy White Truffle in the evenings as they finish up chores or engage in creative activities, while less experienced users may prefer White Truffle closer to bedtime.

The Creature, meanwhile, is a sativa-dominant strain bred by BeLeaf and sold under the Love Seeds moniker. Like many Love Seed strains, The Creature stems from a batch of seeds produced by plants that hermied in response to light failures at one of BeLeaf's off-the-grid farms. The Creature's exact lineage isn't known, but the strain is said to demonstrate strong sativa traits and produces long flowers with natural foxtails and tons of resin. The Creature's aroma is strong and fruity, with notes of peach and nectarines as well as an intense, gassy finish. Its effects are uplifting, starting behind the eyes and elevating the mood while simultaneously relaxing the body.

Physical Characteristics of Chimera

Chimera is a hybrid cannabis strain that produces stout plants with dark green foliage. As they transition out of veg, however, Chimera plants are known to stretch to almost double their height, adopting an impressive structure once mature. Generally speaking, Chimera flowers are a light wintergreen but, depending on the conditions in which they’re grown, can also take on a stunning mix of purple, orange, red, and blue hues. Combined with their thick coating of trichomes (which could easily be mistaken for real, icy frost), this strain offers a ton of bag appeal.

Properties and Effects of Chimera

Chimera is known to be extremely potent and has received a lot of hype from users of all types for its strength and delicious aromas/flavors. Depending on the batch, Chimera can contain anywhere between 20–27% THC along with an exotic mix of terpenes. Limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, humulene, and guaiol tend to dominate Chimera's terpene profile, though the strain may also contain linalool and other common cannabis terps.

Crack open a jar or bag of well-cured Chimera buds and you'll be greeted by a strong aroma of sugary, fruity cereal and jam. Below the sweetness, you'll also notice an upfront earthiness, almost reminiscent of wild mushrooms, moss, or crispy grilled waffle/pancake batter. Break apart Chimera's frosty nugs and take another big whiff as her subtler aromas of cream, skunk, and tobacco come to the foreground—some users compare the aroma of Chimera to that of a freshly buttered and jammed scone or biscuit. When you finally light her up and inhale Chimera's thick smoke or vapor, your palate will be hit by a complex mix of fruity sweetness, doughy earthiness, and lingering notes of zesty skunk.

If Chimera's aromas and flavors got you excited, just wait till you hear about her effects. While very potent, users generally find Chimera to be uplifting and creative, ideal for daytime use. Outside and inside, regardless of what activity you're doing, Chimera will elevate it. Unlike Sour Diesel, Super Silver Haze, or other fast-paced sativas, Chimera doesn't provoke that typical high-energy buzz (and the anxiety/paranoia that can sometimes come with it). Instead, its effects soothe the body while elevating the mood, all without zapping away your motivation or energy.

Uses of Chimera

Thanks to its uplifting effects, Chimera is a great daytime smoke for most users. While there is some physical relaxation underlining her mental effects, Chimera is best enjoyed while doing some kind of engaging activity, be it hobby or work-related. According to user reviews, Chimera pairs well with:

• Working from home

• Creative activities, like writing, reading, or making music

• Walking, hiking, or bike riding

• Weekends

• Social gatherings and parties

• Nights out

Because it usually doesn't cause sedation or drowsiness, a lot of users enjoy smoking Chimera during the day. However, remember that everyone's cannabis experience is different, and some users (especially those with a low tolerance to THC) may find Chimera's effects too distracting for daytime use. Moreover, Chimera may also produce unwanted side effects in some people, including:

• Dry mouth and eyes

• Paranoia/anxiety (when used in high doses)

Cultivation and Production of Chimera

Chimera is readily available to purchase in seed or clone form from the BeLeaf Cannabis website. Based on information from growers, Chimera plants are nice and hardy with broad, bright green leaves. They also seem to keep a fairly compact structure during their earlier phases of growth. As they transition to bloom, however, Chimera plants stretch considerably, reaching almost double their height. Mature Chimera flowers can develop a delightful range of colors and are typically harvest-ready after 10 weeks of bloom indoors. Unfortunately, we do not know the yields for this strain.
