Jelly Breath Strain Review (In House Genetics)

I finally got around to trying Jelly Breath, a strain that’s been circling the Reddit hype loop for years—and for good reason. I’d seen it recommended countless times for its knockout potency and flavor-heavy profile, so when I saw a fresh batch from In House Genetics at my local dispensary, I couldn’t resist.

Jelly Breath delivered almost exactly what I expected: a funky, fruity nose, thick, sticky buds, and a heavy indica-style body high that had me glued to the couch with a goofy grin. This strain is not for beginners—unless you want to sleep for 12 hours and wake up not knowing what year it is.

Appearance: 4/5

Appearance: 4.5/5

This was love at first sight. The buds were chunky and dense, with some absolutely gorgeous coloration: deep forest green with streaks of purple and dark orange pistils poking through a shimmering trichome frost.

Moisture content was right on the money—sticky, but not overly wet. These nugs left my grinder gunked up in the best way possible.

Aroma: 5/5

The smell straight out of the jar was borderline intoxicating. I got hit with this sharp, sweet-and-sour aroma—a mix of fermented berries, vanilla, and something skunky underneath.

It’s one of those strains that fills the room the second the lid pops off. Honestly, I spent a full minute just sitting there, nose deep in the jar.

Flavor: 4.5/5

Flavor-wise, Jelly Breath mostly stayed true to its aroma, with added richness. The inhale had this creamy, berry sweetness, while the exhale brought a bit of herbal funk and a lingering earthy finish.

There was no harshness at all, even in a joint. Smooth and flavorful from start to finish.

Effects: 4.8/5

This is a heavy-hitter. Effects came on fast—within 5 minutes, I felt this warm flush behind my eyes and then a full-body wave of relaxation.

Definitely a couch-lock strain. I wouldn’t touch this before a productive day. But for evening sessions, movies, and sleep? Chef’s kiss. It left me blissed out and borderline sedated after an hour.

It also brought on a serious case of the munchies, so prep your snacks beforehand.

Overall: 4.7/5

Jelly Breath is a near-perfect strain for winding down or full-on crashing out. The flavor and aroma are standouts, and the effects are potent, predictable, and satisfyingly heavy.

I’d highly recommend this strain to experienced users looking for a strong indica-leaning hybrid. For casual smokers or daytime use? Probably not the best match.

Alternatives

• Platinum Gorilla: Also indica-dominant with a sweet, earthy profile but packs an even stronger punch—ideal if you want something even heavier.
  
• Planet of the Grapes: Delivers a similarly rich grape-forward aroma with a euphoric, mellow body high, slightly more uplifting than Jelly Breath.
  

Purple Punch: Offers a dessert-like flavor and a lighter indica high, making it a more approachable option for beginners.
