Guava Sauce
Also known as: Guava Sauce OG, Guava Sauce Kush
Guava Sauce Strain Overview
Guava Sauce is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California and Oregon. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders who were experimenting with tropical fruit-forward genetics. The name 'Guava Sauce' reflects both its distinctive tropical aroma profile and the resinous, sauce-like trichome production that characterizes high-quality phenotypes of this strain.
Visually, Guava Sauce plants typically produce dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. The most striking feature is the abundant trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosty, almost wet appearance—hence the 'sauce' reference in its name. The pistils (hairs) are usually orange or amber, creating a colorful contrast against the green background.
The strain has gained recognition for its complex aromatic profile that combines tropical fruit notes with earthy, gassy undertones. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Guava Sauce has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique flavor characteristics. It remains more commonly found in dispensaries in legal states rather than as a mass-produced commercial product, contributing to its somewhat elusive reputation in the broader cannabis market.

Guava Sauce Strain Growing Information
Guava Sauce is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Guava Sauce responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should watch for mold and mildew in dense buds, particularly in humid conditions, and ensure good air circulation throughout the grow space. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen with particular attention during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
