Motor Breath (Smalls)

Motor Breath (Smalls) Strain Overview

Motor Breath is a powerhouse indica-dominant hybrid that has earned a reputation as one of the gassiest, most potent strains on the market. Bred by Pisces Genetics, this strain is a cross of the legendary Chemdawg and SFV OG Kush. It took home awards at the THC Championships two years in a row, winning 1st place in the Recreational Hybrid category in 2015 and 2nd place in Medical Indica in 2016. It has gained a devoted following among connoisseurs who crave loud, fuel-forward flavors and heavy, stone-to-the-bone effects.

The strain is named after its excessively gassy flavor and smell. Motor Breath delivers an aroma and taste so pungent and fuel-like that it evokes the scent of gasoline, motor oil, and a mechanic’s garage. The name fits perfectly for those seeking a strain with maximum gas.

Motor Breath is an evening strain. It works best when you are ready to relax, unwind, and sink deep into the couch. It is not for daytime use or for anyone with things to do. If you are looking for a potent, gassy indica that delivers heavy relaxation and old-school fuel flavor, Motor Breath (Smalls) is worth your attention.

The “Smalls” designation means these are smaller popcorn buds from the same premium plants, offering the same quality, potency, and effects at a better value.

Motor Breath (Smalls) Strain Genetics and Lineage

Motor Breath was bred by Pisces Genetics. The genetic cross brings together two legendary parents.

The result is an indica-dominant hybrid. The standard Motor Breath cut delivers an extremely potent, hard-hitting experience with dense, grease-coated buds that are absolutely caked in trichomes.

Some batches have been known to test as high as 32% THC.

Heads up for newer users: At 26% THC, Motor Breath is an extremely high potency strain best suited for experienced consumers. One reviewer noted it is “really some loud, tasty, fire” and will “stone you to the bone”. If you are newer to cannabis, starting with a milder flower option is a better move. One small puff and a 15 minute wait is the right approach if you do want to try it.

Motor Breath (Smalls) Strain Aroma and Flavor Profile

Motor Breath delivers one of the loudest, most pungent flavor profiles in modern cannabis. The combination of diesel fuel, gasoline, earth, sour lemon, and chemical notes is smooth, aggressive, and unforgettable. One reviewer described it as “like opening a bag of gasoline funk”. Another noted it tastes “like oil 5,000 past due” and evokes the smell of a mechanic’s garage. Leafly’s terpene research confirms that limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene are the dominant terpenes in Motor Breath.

When you open a bag of Motor Breath (Smalls), here is what you will notice:

Nose (before grinding): Pungent diesel fuel and gasoline. Hints of sour lemon, earth, and skunk. A sharp, chemical-like intensity. Very loud and unmistakable.

Ground: The gas intensifies. Notes of fuel and citrus come forward. A subtle earthy, chemical undertone appears underneath.

Taste (smoked or vaped): Heavy gas and diesel on the inhale. Sour lemon and earthy fuel on the exhale. The finish is sharp with a lingering gasoline-like kick.

Motor Breath is a loud, aggressive strain. The fuel and gas notes dominate, while the sour lemon and earth add complexity. To get the most out of the flavor, use a clean grinder.

Motor Breath (Smalls) Strain Effects

Motor Breath is known for being deeply relaxing, euphoric, and sedating. This is not a functional strain for most people. Users report feeling relaxed, happy, euphoric, tingly, and sedated with a powerful body high that can lead to heavy couch lock.

The onset (first 5 to 10 minutes): A wave of euphoria hits behind your eyes and spreads through your head. Your mood lifts. Stress and anxiety melt away. You feel happy and uplifted.

The peak (30 to 60 minutes in): The body effects take over hard. A warm, heavy blanket settles over your shoulders, back, and legs. Your muscles feel completely loose. Your eyes feel heavy. Moving feels like effort. This is deep couch lock territory. One reviewer noted it is “excellent for chilling watching Netflix with plenty of munchies in hands reach”.

The comedown (2 to 4 hours in): Fatigue sets in heavily. Most users fall asleep during the comedown. If you make it through, you will feel deeply relaxed and very hungry.

Motor Breath is best enjoyed when you have nowhere to be. Have your edibles on standby. The munchies are real with this one.
