Guava Crack
Also known as: Guava Crack OG, Guava Crack Kush
Guava Crack Strain Overview
Guava Crack is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive tropical aroma and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat unclear, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, likely as a cross between Guava and a potent OG Kush or Chemdawg variant. Breeders sought to combine the fruity characteristics of Guava strains with the powerful, long-lasting effects associated with 'Crack' phenotypes, resulting in this unique cultivar.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the compact bud structure, creating visual appeal. The most notable feature of Guava Crack is its pronounced tropical aroma, which combines sweet guava and mango notes with earthy, diesel undertones from its Kush heritage. The flavor profile follows the aroma closely, delivering a smooth smoke with fruity sweetness on the inhale and earthy, slightly spicy notes on the exhale.
Guava Crack has become particularly popular among users seeking a balanced experience that combines mental stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's effects typically begin with an uplifting cerebral buzz that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation without causing excessive sedation. This balanced nature, combined with its distinctive tropical flavor profile, has made Guava Crack a sought-after strain in both medical and recreational markets, though it remains more commonly available in specific regions rather than as a widely distributed commercial strain.

Guava Crack Strain Growing Information
Guava Crack is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to grow to a medium height of 4-6 feet, developing a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light penetration and airflow. Guava Crack is susceptible to mold and mildew in high humidity conditions, so proper ventilation and humidity control are essential. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and produce dense, resinous buds that require careful monitoring during the final weeks of flowering.
