Pushpop
Also known as: Push Pop
Pushpop Strain Overview
Pushpop is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Zkittlez and Grape Pie. This genetic combination creates a well-balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica effects, though its exact heritage reflects the complex breeding programs of contemporary cannabis cultivation. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the dessert-flavored cannabis trend, gaining popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's name derives from its flavor characteristics, which many users describe as reminiscent of the classic push-pop frozen treats, particularly the orange flavor variety. Pushpop buds typically display dense, chunky structures with vibrant green coloration accented by purple and orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, indicating its potent cannabinoid content. The strain's aroma is immediately noticeable upon opening a container, with sweet citrus notes dominating the initial scent profile.
Pushpop has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become increasingly available in legal markets, particularly in North America. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption methods, though it remains most popular in flower form. The strain represents the ongoing trend in cannabis breeding toward creating varieties with specific flavor profiles while maintaining reliable potency and effect consistency.

Pushpop Strain Growing Information
Pushpop is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce slightly larger harvests in optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the specific conditions this hybrid prefers. Plants tend to remain at medium height, making them suitable for limited space grows. Pushpop responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Growers should maintain stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold issues, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related problems. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support bud development.
