Guava Gas strain guide
Guava Gas is an indica-leaning hybrid, most often listed as a cross of Zkittlez and Lemon Cherry Gelato. It smells like tropical fruit and citrus with a diesel edge, and the few reports out there describe it as calm and happy.
Where does Guava Gas come from?
One strain database lists it as Zkittlez crossed with LCG2, a cut of Lemon Cherry Gelato, and another database gives the same Zkittlez and Lemon Cherry Gelato cross, crediting THC Design in California.
One strain database also lists a second, unrelated Guava Gas made from Papaya and Strawberry Guava. So the name covers more than one plant, and the Zkittlez and Lemon Cherry Gelato version is just the one with the most agreement.
What does Guava Gas smell and taste like?
Sources describe a mix of sweet tropical fruit and citrus with a gassy diesel note underneath, plus some unusual extras: lavender, basil or sage and a little clove. The flavour is listed as sweet, sour and creamy.

Guava Gas effects: what people report
There are only a handful of reports. They describe it as relaxing and calming, with a happy, uplifted mood and a noticeable body feel. One review mentions a focused feel.
These are reports, not promises, and with so few of them it's worth treating any description loosely. How it feels will depend on the product, the amount and your tolerance.
How strong is Guava Gas?
One strain database lists Guava Gas at about 31% to 32% THC, which is very high, and another database doesn't list a figure. CBD is not reported.
Treat a number like that with care: start small and give it time. Our guide to THCa vs THC explains why label numbers can look higher than you'd expect.
Buying Guava Gas in Canada
Because two different crosses share the name, check the lineage on the package if it's there.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date. Fruity smells fade first as flower ages, so fresher is better.
Guava Gas vs Lemon Cherry Gelato
Lemon Cherry Gelato is one parent in the most cited version of Guava Gas. It's known for sweet cherry and citrus with a creamy finish. Guava Gas leans more tropical and gassy, picking up fruit candy from its Zkittlez side, and reports describe it as calmer and more body-focused. Lemon Cherry Gelato is far better documented. If you like it and want a more tropical, fuel-tinged smell, Guava Gas is worth trying.
