About this profile
Chimera 3 is strongly caryophyllene-led: caryophyllene makes up roughly 53% of its measured terpenes, with humulene and myrcene behind it. Aroma-wise, caryophyllene points to peppery spice, while humulene adds woody, hoppy notes. Across its lab samples, THC averaged 14.8%, toward the lower end of the library, and total terpenes averaged 1.44%, near the middle of the library. Only 2 lab samples so far from California, so treat this as a single snapshot rather than a standard. Listed as a numbered variant of Chimera; see Chimera for the base profile.
