Behemoth is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Mexico Sativa and Blueberry. This pairing brings together distinct genetic lines to produce a high-yielding plant that requires a moderate level of care from cultivators. It is versatile enough to be grown in both indoor and outdoor environments, finishing its flowering stage in 55 days.
The complex terpene profile of Behemoth begins with a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by terpinolene, caryophyllene, and limonene. The secondary and tertiary layers of the profile consist of ocimene, linalool, humulene, pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, guaiol, alpha-terpinene, nerolidol, and camphene. This chemistry contributes to the strain's specific sensory characteristics and its overall aromatic profile.
As a THC-dominant variety, Behemoth is primarily utilized for its ability to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These qualities make it a practical choice for consumers seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as assistance with sleep. The genetic lineage of this hybrid has proven influential, serving as one of the parents to the notable offspring known as Family Secret.
