Catalyst is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Grateful Breath F2 and Soaring. Information regarding the development of this specific cultivar remains limited, as the precise origins and the individuals responsible for its initial breeding are not publicly documented within the current strain registry. As a result, the history behind the creation of Catalyst is considered undocumented at this time, with no definitive narrative available to trace its emergence in the contemporary market.

The chemical character of Catalyst is defined by a complex terpene profile, which is confirmed to be dominated by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene, beta-pinene, humulene, pinene, bisabolol, and terpinolene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds contributes to a distinct sensory experience, though the precise way these terpenes express in the final flower is an estimated result of the strain's genetic combination. When consumed, these components provide a nuanced aromatic presence, reflecting the influence of its varied terpene concentration.

This THC-dominant hybrid produces effects that are characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Due to these qualities, Catalyst is frequently utilized by patients seeking relief from symptoms associated with stress and pain, and it is also commonly employed as an aid for sleep. The strain is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield after a flowering period of 65 days. While it requires moderate growing difficulty to reach its full potential, there are no recorded notable offspring currently associated with this cultivar.
