Gutbuster Strain Overview
Gutbuster is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by Washington State breeders Exotic Genetix through crossing Kimbo Kush and Cookies & Cream. Despite its somewhat aggressive name, this strain produces visually appealing buds with heart-shaped olive green nugs, bright orange hairs, and a coating of light lavender-colored crystal trichomes. When grown in colder conditions, some harvests display varying amounts of purple and blue tinting, with some batches appearing almost completely purple in color.
The strain is renowned for its distinctive flavor profile combining sweet vanilla and nutty chocolate notes with a creamy smooth exhale, inherited from its Cookies & Cream parent, while also featuring blackberry undertones from its Kimbo Kush lineage. The aroma presents as slightly pungent with creamy vanilla overtones accented by rich earth and nuttiness. Gutbuster is characterized as a 'creeper' strain, with effects that build gradually before taking full hold of both mind and body, making it particularly suitable for experienced cannabis users seeking powerful relaxation and pain relief.

Gutbuster Strain Growing Information
Gutbuster has average growing difficulty and develops into short to medium-sized plants with bushy, thick foliage characteristic of indica-dominant strains. Indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks (approximately 55-70 days), while outdoor cultivation results in harvest around late September to early October. The strain thrives in warm, semi-humid climates (68-80°F/20-27°C) with 40-50% relative humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though many prefer indoor setups for better environmental control. The strain is a heavy feeder, especially during flowering, and benefits from Screen of Green (SCROG) and Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques to maximize yields. Regular pruning helps maintain airflow and light penetration. Expected yields are moderate, and the strain shows resistance to common pests and molds with proper care.
