Guava
Guava is a name applied to two distinct genetic lineages: an indica-leaning hybrid bred by Flavour Chasers and a separate, sweet-leaning phenotype often associated with the Gelato family.
About Guava
The name Guava is used for two genetically unrelated strains, leading to significant variation in the market. The first, bred by Flavour Chasers, is an indica-leaning hybrid created by crossing Stardawg with Afghani. This version is noted for its high resin production and a terpene profile that balances tropical, fruity notes with the earthy, spicy, and gassy undertones inherited from its parents. The breeder reports THC levels reaching approximately 21%.
The second iteration of Guava is linked to the Cookies genetic lineage. This version is widely considered to be a phenotype of Gelato, sharing the creamy, sweet, and fruity characteristics common to that family, similar to the profile found in Sherbinski's Guava Gelato. Because these two versions share little in common beyond the name, reported effects—often described as an upbeat, focused head change that settles into a relaxed finish—can vary significantly depending on which lineage is present.
Plant characteristics
The Flavour Chasers selection is an average-height plant that produces high yields. It is characterized by heavy resin production, resulting in buds covered in trichomes, and typically reaches maturity after an 8–10 week flowering period.
