Guava is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from Gelato genetics. Developed for cultivators seeking high-yield performance, the strain requires a moderate level of experience to manage throughout its 66-day flowering cycle. It is versatile enough to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, making it a reliable selection for those aiming to balance production volume with specific hybrid traits.
The chemical profile of Guava is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by the dominance of caryophyllene, pinene, myrcene, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, limonene, and linalool. These compounds work in concert to establish the specific aromatic and flavor profile associated with this THC-dominant cultivar, which tests at 23.2% THC.
The effects of Guava are characterized by a sense of being creative, uplifted, and happy. Given these qualities, it is frequently utilized in social settings or as a tool to facilitate periods of focus. The strain’s influence on modern breeding is evident through its documented descendants, which include Chemdog Millionaire Guava, Guava x Gelato 41 Auto, and Strawberry Guava Auto.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
△
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
