Guava Jam strain guide
Guava Jam is a hybrid from Bloom Seed Co, bred by crossing two plants from the breeder's Guavaz line. It's named for its sweet, tropical guava smell. There isn't a lot published about it yet, so this page sticks to what sources agree on.
Where does Guava Jam come from?
Guava Jam comes from Bloom Seed Co. Strain databases list it as a cross of two Guavaz selections, Guavaz #62 and Guavaz #74, which makes it a cross between sibling plants rather than two separate strains. The breeder lists a flowering time of about 8 to 9 weeks.
The name isn't exclusive, though. Other growers have used Guava Jam for their own plants, so a product with this name may not come from Bloom's line. The background of the Guavaz parents themselves is not well documented.
What does Guava Jam smell and taste like?
Sources describe ripe tropical fruit first, with guava front and centre, a creamy citrus twist and a faint diesel note underneath. The taste is usually described as sweet and fruity.
Published terpene notes for Guava Jam are thin. The one description available lists myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene as the usual leaders, with a little linalool. Treat that as a rough guide and check your product's label for its actual terpenes.
Guava Jam effects: what people report
Guava Jam is described as upbeat and sociable at first, easing into a calmer, settled body feel. There are few user reviews so far, so that picture comes mostly from strain write-ups rather than a large number of reports.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Guava Jam?
Guava Jam is usually listed as a high-THC strain. Write-ups put it from the high teens into the upper 20s, with 24% as a typical figure, and very little CBD. Those numbers come from listings rather than a large set of lab results.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time. The THC and CBD on your product's label are the figures that matter.
Buying Guava Jam in Canada
Because more than one grower uses the name, the label is your best guide. If the genetics are listed, Bloom's version should mention Guavaz. Two Guava Jam products can differ in smell and strength.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fruity terpenes fade as flower ages.
Guava Jam vs Guava
There's no documented family link between Guava Jam and Guava; they share a fruit name and a tropical smell, which is why people compare them. Guava is the better-known strain, usually described as a Gelato phenotype with sweet tropical fruit, a little gas and a talkative, upbeat feel. Guava Jam is newer and comes from a specific breeder line, Bloom's Guavaz, with a creamy citrus and light diesel note on top of the fruit. If you want the more established option, start with Guava. If you're curious about a newer tropical cross, try Guava Jam.
