Bomb Pop strain guide
Bomb Pop is a hybrid from Sci-Fi Genetics, listed as a cross of Chemdawg Guava and Blue Steel. Named after the striped popsicle, it's known for lime, berry and fuel notes. It isn't widely documented yet, so expect a short list of facts here.
Where does Bomb Pop come from?
Strain databases credit Bomb Pop to Sci-Fi Genetics and list the cross as Chemdawg Guava and Blue Steel. Chemdawg Guava traces back to Chemdawg, and Blue Steel comes from Exotic Genetix. One seed database also lists a Creamsicle line in the mix, so the full family tree is not settled.
The breeder also uses the spelling Bomb Popz, and says the cross throws many phenotypes, including white, blue and pink versions, like the popsicle it's named after. Watch for other strains with similar names, like Blu Bomb Pop, which come from different parents.
What does Bomb Pop smell and taste like?
Reported notes include lime, berry and a sharp chemical smell, with fuel and pine in some batches. Others mention a fruity, smooth flavour that reminds them of the popsicle.
We couldn't find any published terpene results for Bomb Pop, so we're not going to guess. If terpenes matter to you, check the label on the batch you buy.
Bomb Pop effects: what people report
The few reports out there describe Bomb Pop as relaxed, happy and tingly, with a mostly calming feel. Some listings call it sativa-leaning and describe a long-lasting high, so reports don't fully agree on where it lands.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints.
How strong is Bomb Pop?
One strain database lists Bomb Pop at about 20% THC, which makes it a high-THC strain. We found few other published flower results, so treat that as a rough guide rather than a range. Start small and give it time, and go by the THC number on your label.
Buying Bomb Pop in Canada
With several unrelated strains sharing the name, check the label for the grower's lineage note, plus the THC, CBD and packaging date. Vapes sold under the name test far higher than flower, so compare like with like.
Bomb Pop vs Chemdawg
Chemdawg sits a couple of generations back in Bomb Pop's family tree, through Chemdawg Guava. You can still hear it in the sharp, chemical side of Bomb Pop's smell. The difference is the fruit: Bomb Pop adds lime and berry, while Chemdawg is all diesel and fuel. Chemdawg is also far better documented. If you want the classic gas strain, start with Chemdawg. If you want a fruitier take, try Bomb Pop.
