Strain Type: Indica

A 100 pure indica hybrid, Zercules is guaranteed to bring the bliss. As you toke, an unmistakable sense of relaxation will wash over your body. The spicy-sweet citrus notes that accompany this consumption experience remind us of sipping a cup of calming herbal tea.

It’s the strain we reach for when we want an indica experience with no messing around. Relaxing, sedating, and utterly delightful, it’s a cannabis purist’s delight.

Lineage

A powerhouse strain created by crossing the potent Zkittlez and Goliath, Zercules takes the relaxing indica powers of both its ancestors and kicks it into the stratosphere.

Zkittlez contributes those juicy, sweet flavors, and mind-melting power, while Goliath goes big with calming, relaxing effects. Together, the combination quickly turns sleepy, with Zurcules creating an almost instant experience of pure bliss.

How does Zurcules make you feel?

You might be surprised by how gently this powerful strain makes its presence known. The ride starts off subtle, but the relaxed sensation of calm and ease washing through your body grows with every breath.

Aches and pains melt away, leaving your physical body thoroughly relaxed as your mind wanders blissfully through the universe. An irresistible sense of couch lock will wash through you, leaving you rubber-legged and slack-jawed in the most delightful way.

Make sure to keep some snacks on hand as you settle into your mental vacation. Zercules tends to give some users an appetite.

THC Potency

With THC levels in the 16% range, Zercules hits the powerful but not overwhelming sweet spot that many indica fans regard as the holy grail.

Expect to feel deeply soothed, sedated, and just high enough. This strain keeps those “too high” feelings of overwhelm at bay while still delivering a powerfully relaxing experience.

Strain Aromas

With a smell that reminds us of standing in a lemon grove above Athens while a thunderstorm rolls in, Hercules is spicy, zesty and bright. Breathe deep and you’ll notice notes of sweet herbs that pair perfectly with that sour citrus punch.

Strain Flavor

With its sour, spicy, earthy, and deeply interesting flavor profile, Zercules is perfectly suited to bold pallets. Inhale, and you’ll notice citrus notes reminiscent of candied lemon peels and bergamot. Exhale and it’s all warm spices, cinnamon, clove, and Szechuan peppercorn.

Terpenes

Linalool
Bringing a sweet sage aroma to Zercules’ herbal bouquet, linalool is also responsible for that undeniable couch lock. Think of it as the terpene equivalent of a spa day.

Beta-Caryophyllene
Zercules’ peppery bite comes from beta-caryophyllene, which adds a subtle kick and uplifting energetic presence to this strain’s relaxing powers.

Limonene
Completing Zercules’ light uplift is limonene, the citrusy terpene that also gives the strain its lemonade sweet flavor.

Strain Type: Indica-Leaning Hybrid

The indica dominance of this hybrid strain is responsible for its relaxing, soothing impact. But don’t turn to Divine Kush Breath if you’re looking for a typical sleepytime indica experience—Divine Kush is something special.

While most indicas are perfect for bedtime, Divine Kush Breath offers something a little more lively, pairing sedation with a little kick, like a tasty chili spiked chocolate bar.

Lineage

Created by crossbreeding the cannabis genetics of Platinum Kush Breath and Divine Gelato #3, Divine Kush Breath’s unique qualities can be traced back to its parent strains.

Platinum Kush Breath brings classic indica notes to the table, with a soothing, anxiety busting power that washes away stress and strain. Divine Gelato #3 lends a tasty, creamy kick with nutty undertones. Together, these parents create a beautiful strain whose bud appearance is characterized by glistening trichome coverage.

How does Divine Kush Breath make you feel?

With a high cannabinoid content and admirable CBD levels, Divine Kush Breath comes on strong and has the deceptive appearance of being a classic indica. But stick around for a while—especially if you favor slower acting consumption methods. What happens next will surprise you.

After a while, those predictable indica strain effects of physical relaxation and mental relief will sink deep into your bones. You’ll reach a perfect plateau of zen, and that’s when things get interesting. You’ll start to perk up, finding a new source of energy to draw on that leaves you centered and calm.

This focused, heightened, attentive state spreads throughout your mind, creating feelings of grounded appreciation for the world. Work on a creative project or simply enjoy observing the world around you as this special strain kicks your focus up a notch before you sink into profound relaxation.

THC Potency

With a heavy hitting THC content of 23%, Divine Kush Breath delivers a powerful, but never overwhelming, high. Expect to feel swept up in the experience while retaining that conscious focus.

Start off with just a toke or two as you settle into this strain, allowing the feelings of relaxation and uplift to wash over you and lift you sky high, floating above the worries and cares of everyday reality.

Strain Aromas

With a gelato parent waiting in the wings, you know Divine Kush Breath is going to have an aroma profile that will have you coming back for more. Scents of pine and gasoline hit on the inhale, with a sweet, vanilla tinged exhale rounding out the experience like the cherry on top of the perfect sundae.

Strain Flavor

Sweet and earthy, Divine Kush Breath’s flavor notes are deliciously addictive. You’ll notice the buttery, rich, creamy vanilla flavors first, a little bit like a swipe of buttercream frosting from the top of a birthday cake. Earthy notes come next, lending complexity and depth to this sweet treat.

Divine Kush Breath’s Dominant Terpenes

Limonene
Lending that sour diesel note to Divine Kush Breath’s inhale, limonene also brings that gentle uplift that prevents this indica hybrid from leaning too heavily into sedation.

Caryophyllene
The ultimate balancing terpene, spicy caryophyllene delivers the perfect blend of soothing and energizing effects for a relaxed but not overwhelmingly sleepy smoking experience.
