Blow Pop strain guide
Blow Pop is an indica-leaning cross of OG Kush and Sunset Sherbet, named like the lollipop and smelling a lot like one. People know it for a sweet, candy and bubblegum nose with gas underneath, and for a happy, relaxed feel. It's usually listed with high THC.
Where does Blow Pop come from?
Sources agree on the parents: OG Kush, the fuel-and-pine classic from California, and Sunset Sherbet, a sweet, fruity strain from the Cookies family tree. That pairing explains a lot about how it smells, with candy from one side and gas from the other.
Who made the cross is less settled. Some listings credit a breeder called Exotics Wizard, while others name Envy Genetics, and there's no breeder statement that clears it up. The name is usually read as a nod to the lollipop and its sugary smell. You'll also see it written as Blow Pops or Blow Popz.
What does Blow Pop smell and taste like?
Blow Pop smells sweet first: candy, bubblegum and fruit, with people naming cotton candy, apricot, apple and berry. Under that sits a gassy diesel note and a little earthy spice, the OG Kush side showing through.
We couldn't find a published terpene profile for Blow Pop, so we're not listing one. If your product's label lists terpenes, that's the best guide to the batch in your hand. The flavour usually follows the smell: sugary and fruity on the inhale, with fuel on the finish.
Blow Pop effects: what people report
People most often describe Blow Pop as happy, euphoric and relaxed, with a tingly body feel and a calm that builds as it settles in. Some reviewers say it hits quickly and lasts a while, and hunger comes up often too.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint.
How strong is Blow Pop?
Blow Pop is a high-THC strain, though listings don't agree on how high. Published figures run from about 20% to 34% THC, with one listing at 23% to 27% and another as high as 34%. CBD is very low.
Figures at the top of that range are rare, so take them with some caution and go by the label. If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what the numbers mean, and THCA vs THC covers why some labels show two figures.
Buying Blow Pop in Canada
With the breeder unsettled and THC figures all over the place, the label matters more than the name here. Two Blow Pop products may come from different cuts and test quite differently.
If you do find it, it's most likely to be dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that candy smell.
Blow Pop vs Sunset Sherbet
Sunset Sherbet is one of Blow Pop's parents, and both get called sweet, happy and relaxed. The difference is mostly the gas: Sunset Sherbet smells of berry, citrus and cream, while Blow Pop adds a diesel edge from its OG Kush side and reads more like candy than sherbet. Blow Pop is also usually listed with noticeably higher THC. If you want soft fruit and cream, start with Sunset Sherbet. If candy with some fuel sounds better, try Blow Pop.
