Peak 112 strain guide
Peak 112 is an indica-leaning hybrid most often listed as a cross of Gush Mints and Pinnacle, which makes it part of the same minty, gassy family. It's known for some of the highest THC listings around, a diesel and mint smell with a creamy sweetness, and a relaxed feel that builds slowly.
Where does Peak 112 come from?
One strain database and at least one producer's listing give the same cross: Gush Mints with Pinnacle. Pinnacle itself is bred from Gush Mints, so Peak 112 would carry a double helping of that line. Another database is more cautious and says only that the exact lineage varies by grower but sits among gassy dessert genetics.
The original breeder and the story behind the name are not well documented. Most listings put it at around 70% indica, though one strain database calls it closer to an even hybrid.
What does Peak 112 smell and taste like?
Expect gas first: diesel and a dank, skunky funk, with cool mint and a sweet, creamy side. Some people also pick up citrus, ripe berries, herbal spice and earth.
One strain database lists caryophyllene as the top terpene, followed by limonene and myrcene. Caryophyllene adds peppery spice, limonene the citrus lift and myrcene the earthy depth. The taste is usually sweet, creamy and minty, with a heavy, skunky exhale.
Peak 112 effects: what people report
People most often describe Peak 112 as happy, euphoric and relaxed. Reports talk about a slow start, often a tingle around the head that spreads through the body, followed by a heavy, settled feel. Most save it for the evening, and one reviewer warned that a decent amount will send you to bed.
These are reports from a small number of reviewers, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Peak 112?
Peak 112 is very strong on paper. One strain database gives a usual range of about 24% to 32% THC, and another database lists 27% to 34%, with very little CBD.
That puts it well above most strains, so a small amount goes a long way. Give it time before having more, and check the label for your batch. Our guides to reading cannabis labels and THCA vs THC explain how those numbers are worked out.
Buying Peak 112 in Canada
Because the lineage can vary by grower, check the producer's description on the label if you want to know which cut you're getting.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that gas and mint smell.
Peak 112 vs Gush Mints
Gush Mints is listed as a parent of Peak 112 and also sits behind its other parent, Pinnacle. They share the minty, gassy nose with a sweet finish, but Peak 112 leans harder into diesel and skunk, with a creamy note on top. Both get described as relaxed and heavy, and Peak 112 is usually listed several points higher in THC. If you want the original minty gas, start with Gush Mints. If you're an experienced smoker after something stronger and funkier, try Peak 112.
