Overview
Guava is a well-regarded hybrid cannabis strain with disputed genetics but consistent characteristics across all versions. The strain exists in multiple expressions from different breeders, with Cookies Fam and Sherbinski describing it as a Gelato phenotype, while Flavour Chasers claims it as a cross between Stardawg and Afghani. Despite the conflicting lineage claims, all versions share similar traits including a sativa-leaning profile with balanced effects. The strain was developed in California's cannabis heartland and has gained recognition for its exceptional tropical flavor profile and versatile effects. Guava typically presents as medium-sized plants reaching 50-60 inches in height with dense, resin-coated buds that display vibrant green colors with bright orange pistils. The strain has earned particular acclaim for its wake-and-bake suitability and ability to provide energy without overwhelming stimulation, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal users seeking daytime relief.
