Passion Orange Guava
Passion Orange Guava
Also known as: P.O.G., POG
Overview
Passion Orange Guava is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain bred by Santa Cruz breeder Brett Wilson, who operates under the moniker Growing Passion, created through crossing Tangie with Guava Dawg. The strain takes its name from the iconic tropical juice blend popularized in Hawaii, intentionally evoking passion fruit tang, sweet Valencia-style orange, and ripe guava in one tropical forward profile with bright citrus, exotic fruit, and a creamy, nectar-like sweetness. The buds are characterized by their bright green color with dark orange hairs and a thick layer of resin, appearing fluffy and oversized with diamond-shaped bright emerald-green nugs covered in thin orange hairs and tiny golden-white crystal trichomes. POG represents part of a broader cannabis market shift toward fruit-forward strains that gained prominence through 2023-2024, following a decade-long wave of dessert and fruit cultivars that displaced the OG- and Kush-dominant market of the 2010s. The strain category is defined less by rigid parentage and more by a tight cluster of outcomes: elevated limonene, bursts of esters and monoterpenes, and consistently high THC, with the right phenotype delivering connoisseur-grade bag appeal and an unmistakable bouquet.

Growing Information
Passion Orange Guava has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (63-70 days). This strain is not recommended for beginners due to its growing complexity and the need for precise environmental control. It produces high yields and is considered moderate growing difficulty, adapting well to both indoor and outdoor setups. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a warm, Mediterranean-like climate to maximize its growth, with resilience to common molds and pests making it a favorable choice for cultivators. Dense buds may require support such as stakes or trellises to prevent branches from breaking, with Low-Stress Training (LST), topping, and Screen of Green (ScrOG) techniques being effective methods for maximizing yields and improving light penetration. The sativa-dominant plants stretch during early flower, so growers should plan vertical space accordingly.
