White Guava strain guide
White Guava is a hybrid most often credited to Top Dawg Seeds, with Stardawg on one side of its family tree. People know it for a sweet, tropical smell of apricot, pear and mango and a giggly, relaxed feel. The name is also used for a few different plants, so labels are worth reading closely.
Where does White Guava come from?
White Guava's history is not well settled. Sources agree that Top Dawg Seeds made a White Guava from their Stardawg line, but they disagree on the other parent: one strain database lists Tres Dawg, while other listings say a White Hashplant.
To make things harder, White Guava is also used as a nickname for White Hot Guava, a separate strain that several producers describe as coming from Guava or Guava Gelato genetics. Because those accounts don't line up, we don't list a single set of parents.
What does White Guava smell and taste like?
White Guava smells sweet and fruity first, with apricot, pear and mango over a tropical base. Some people also pick up citrus or a light, white-wine-like note.
Published terpene data for White Guava is thin. The one terpene listings agree on is myrcene, which brings an earthy, musky depth under the fruit. The taste usually follows the smell, sweet and tropical on the inhale.
White Guava effects: what people report
People most often describe White Guava as relaxed and giggly, with a euphoric, happy lift. Some call it creative or uplifted. It tends to come across as easygoing rather than heavy.
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, and some people mention a headache or feeling paranoid.
How strong is White Guava?
White Guava is usually a mid to high-THC strain. Published listings put it around 19% to 24% THC, with very little CBD. Products sold as White Hot Guava sometimes list higher numbers, but that may be a different plant.
Start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The numbers on your label are what count, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains them.
Buying White Guava in Canada
Since the name covers more than one strain, check whether the label says White Guava or White Hot Guava, and look for any genetics listed. The two can smell and test quite differently.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date. Fresher flower keeps more of that tropical fruit smell.
White Guava vs Stardawg
Stardawg is the one parent every account of White Guava shares, but the two are very different in the jar. Stardawg smells of diesel, chemicals and pine, while White Guava leans sweet and tropical, with apricot and pear. Stardawg is usually described as upbeat and focused, and White Guava as more giggly and relaxed. If you like gassy, sharp strains, try Stardawg. If you'd rather have fruit, start with White Guava.
