10Gs strain guide
10Gs is an indica-leaning hybrid from Compound Genetics, a cross of Jet Fuel Gelato and Gastro Pop. People know it for a sweet candy smell with diesel underneath and a happy head feel that settles into calm. It's usually listed with high THC.
Where does 10Gs come from?
10Gs comes from Compound Genetics, the breeder behind both of its parents. It pairs Jet Fuel Gelato, a gassy strain softened by sweet, floral notes, with Gastro Pop, a fruity, fuel-finished cross from the Apples and Bananas line. Several strain databases list the same pairing.
There's not much public detail about when it was released or where the name comes from, so we won't guess. It's sometimes written as 10G or 10 Gs.
What does 10Gs smell and taste like?
10Gs smells sweet and sour, like candy, with a pungent diesel streak from the Jet Fuel Gelato side. Some people also notice a floral note and a faint funky, cheesy finish.
Terpene data for 10Gs is limited. One published profile lists myrcene, limonene, ocimene and linalool. Myrcene adds an earthy base, limonene brings citrus, and ocimene and linalool lean sweet and floral. The flavour tends to follow the smell, sugary up front with fuel on the exhale.
10Gs effects: what people report
People describe 10Gs as euphoric and relaxed. Reports mention an upbeat, happy head feel at first, with some calling it focused or creative, before a smooth, full-body calm takes over.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and 10Gs doesn't have many reviews yet. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is common with strains this strong.
How strong is 10Gs?
10Gs is a high-THC strain. Listings put it around 27% to 30% THC, with very little CBD.
That's strong for anyone, and a lot for a beginner. Start small and wait before having more. The numbers on your label are for that batch, so trust them over the strain's reputation. If the label shows THCA, our guide to THCA vs THC explains the difference.
Buying 10Gs in Canada
10Gs is a newer strain, so it's not as widely grown as its parents. Different producers may grow different cuts, which means smell and potency can vary between products with the same name.
When you find it, it's likely to be dried flower, pre-rolls or a vape. Check the THC and CBD numbers, the terpenes if they're listed, and the packaging date.
10Gs vs Gastro Pop
Gastro Pop is one of 10Gs' parents, and the two share a sweet front with fuel behind it. Gastro Pop leans fruit, grape and apple with a peppery finish, while 10Gs leans candy and diesel, with more gas from its Jet Fuel Gelato side. Both get called relaxed and happy, and 10Gs is usually listed a little higher in THC. If you like fruity strains, start with Gastro Pop. If you want more gas in the mix, try 10Gs.
