Guinness
What is the Guinness strain?
Guinness is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Guinness is a rare evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created as a backcross of the classic Scooby Snacks strain. Developed by Heroes of the Farm, a quality craft cannabis breeder located in the foothills of Mount Hood, Oregon, this strain took well over a year to develop through selective breeding. Scooby Snacks, the parent strain, is itself a cross between Face Off OG and Platinum Girl Scout Cookies, making Guinness a refined version of these premium genetics. The strain was notably used in creating other popular varieties such as Gorilla Snacks (GG4 x Guinness) and Headdog #7 (Headband x Guinness), demonstrating its value as breeding stock. Guinness represents the culmination of careful selection and backcrossing techniques to enhance the desirable traits of the original Scooby Snacks lineage while maintaining genetic stability and consistency in its offspring.
