Chimera #2

Also known as: Chimera 2

Breeder: BeLeaf Cannabis

Chimera #2 is a specific phenotype selection from BeLeaf Cannabis's White Truffle x The Creature cross — the same lineage that produced Chimera #3. Originally released as a clone-only cut at $10,000, Chimera #2 was selected for its dessert-forward terpene profile and strong commercial performance. Where Chimera #3 is known for foxtailed structure and citrusy wine nose, Chimera #2 leans toward butterscotch, caramel, and port wine aromatics with denser, more traditionally structured flowers. Chimera #2 was selected by BeLeaf Cannabis in Tulsa, Oklahoma from their cross of White Truffle (a Gorilla Butter phenotype itself derived from Peanut Butter Breath x Gorilla Glue, selected by Fresh Coast Genetics) and The Creature (a sativa-dominant BeLeaf original known for tropical fruit terpenes and genetic foxtailing). In S1 seed testing, BeLeaf reported an 84% winner ratio across 25 plants with a 0% hermaphrodite rate, demonstrating exceptional genetic stability for a feminized line. THC consistently tests between 26-30%+, with dominant terpenes including limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool. The cultivar has become one of BeLeaf's most sought-after breeder cuts and is widely distributed through licensed clone nurseries across the United States. Effects are described as balanced—euphoric and cerebral with a deeply relaxing body component—making it versatile for both recreational and medicinal markets.

Lineage & Genetics

Cross: White Truffle x The Creature

Parent strains in encyclopedia:White Truffle→The Creature→

White Truffle (Gorilla Butter F2 pheno selected by BeLeaf Cannabis; GG4 x Peanut Butter Breath) contributes dense, dark flowers with savory cream, butter, and garlic notes. The Creature (sativa-dominant Love Seed bred by BeLeaf from accidental hermaphrodite event) contributes tropical fruit and nectarine terpenes with natural foxtailing and heavy resin production.

Terpene Profile

DOMINANT

Limonene — Citrusy sweetness underlying the caramel and orange tic tac notes; dominant terpene per Leafly aggregated data for the Chimera line

DOMINANT

Caryophyllene — Spicy warmth that anchors the rich, dessert-like profile

SECONDARY

Linalool — Creamy, floral softness contributing to the custard and vanilla character

SECONDARY

Humulene — Earthy, woody depth per SeedFinder terpene data for the Chimera line

SECONDARY

Pinene — Pine and herbal freshness noted in some phenotypes

Aroma: Distinctive dessert-forward nose of butterscotch, caramel, and port wine with secondary notes of orange candy and creamy custard. Some phenotypes express the White Truffle parent's gassy, garlicky undertones beneath the sweetness.

Flavor: Rich, creamy smoke with creme brulee, flan, and custard on the palate. Exhale carries butterscotch pudding character. Port wine and brown sugar round out the finish.

Effects & Experience

Onset: Moderate — effects build within the first few minutes

Balanced between euphoric cerebral energy and relaxing body calm. Clear-headed, creative uplift paired with physical ease that does not typically cause heavy sedation. Uplifting and suitable for daytime use despite the indica-leaning ratio.

Environment

Indoor, Outdoor

Chimera #2 is a vigorous indica-leaning hybrid (60/40) that rewards attentive growers with exceptional resin production and commercial-grade yields. During vegetation the plant presents broad, bright-green leaves and maintains a fairly compact structure with tight internodal spacing inherited from the White Truffle side. However, once flipped to flower, expect a significant stretch—plants can nearly double in height during the first two to three weeks of bloom, a trait driven by The Creature's sativa influence. Aggressive training during veg is strongly recommended: topping twice and implementing either LST or SCROG netting early will create an even canopy and prevent the tallest colas from outpacing the rest.

Growth Structure and Training

Structure and yield are where Chimera #2 truly shines. Commercial growers consistently report harvests of 2.5 to 3 pounds per 1000W equivalent light when the environment is dialed in, with some nurseries citing 650 g/m² indoors. Outdoors in Mediterranean or temperate climates, individual plants can produce over 1100 grams and finish by early October. The branches develop large, stacking colas that become extremely heavy with dense bud mass, making a secondary trellis layer or bamboo staking essential in the final weeks to prevent snapping.

Flowering Time and Harvest

Flowering completes in 60 to 70 days, with most phenotypes reaching peak maturity around day 65-70. The breeder recommends a full 70 days for maximum terpene expression. Feed programs should emphasize phosphorus and potassium starting in early flower while tapering nitrogen by week three of bloom. An EC of 1.2-1.6 in late veg climbing to 1.8-2.4 at peak flower works well in coco or rockwool; living soil growers report success with top-dressed amendments and weekly compost tea applications. pH should be maintained between 5.8-6.2 in hydro/coco or 6.0-7.0 in soil. A 10-14 day flush or plain-water finish helps preserve the cultivar's exceptionally clean flavor.

Environment and Climate

Environmental targets include daytime temperatures of 75-80°F with a 10°F nighttime drop in late flower to encourage anthocyanin expression. VPD of 1.0-1.2 kPa during veg and 1.2-1.6 kPa in flower optimizes transpiration without inviting mold. Relative humidity should be lowered to 40-45% during the final two weeks to protect the extremely dense buds from botrytis. Full-spectrum LED at 800-1000 PPFD during peak flower maximizes trichome density; HPS growers report equally strong results but must manage heat.

Color Development

Color expression is stunning—mature flowers develop deep blackish-purple to red-purple hues beneath an absolutely extreme blanket of trichomes that makes distinguishing the underlying color difficult. Bud structure is rock-hard, dense, and golf-ball-shaped, stacking tightly on branches. The resin load is extraordinary: fresh-frozen wash yields of 4% have been reported by multiple commercial operations, making this a hash-maker's dream. Concentrate processors have pulled batches testing 83% total cannabinoids with 7.48% total terpenes.

Pest and Disease Resistance

Pest and disease management requires standard IPM vigilance. The dense bud structure means airflow is critical—defoliate aggressively at the flip and again around day 21 to keep air moving through the canopy. No inherent powdery mildew resistance has been documented, so preventive biological applications (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, potassium bicarbonate) are recommended in high-humidity environments. HLVd testing before propagation is strongly advised, as this cut circulates widely through clone markets.

Drying and Curing

For drying, target 60°F and 55-60% RH for 10-14 days until small stems snap cleanly. The terpene profile—dominated by butterscotch, caramel, port wine, and orange citrus notes—is highly volatile and benefits from a slow, cool dry. Cure in sealed glass for a minimum of 2-3 weeks; the creamy custard and crème brûlée flavors intensify significantly after 30+ days. Boveda 62% packs help maintain consistency during extended cures.

History & Origin

Chimera #2 is one of several numbered phenotype selections from BeLeaf Cannabis's White Truffle x The Creature cross, bred in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Selected specifically for its dessert-forward terpene expression and commercial yield potential, distinguishing it from Chimera #3 which was chosen for foxtailed structure and citrusy wine aromatics. The original clone was released at $10,000. S1 seeds reported an 84% winner ratio (21 out of 25 plants). Became a key breeding parent for the Permanent Chimera collaboration with Seed Junky Genetics.
