Guwop Green (Cannabis Strain) — Strainpedia
Guwop Green is a potent Indica-Dominant Hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa) cultivar developed by Compound Genetics, resulting from the cross of Pinana x Eye Candy. Recognized for its dense, visually striking buds covered in a shimmering layer of resin and its unique “fermented fruit punch” aroma, it is frequently referenced in horticultural education for its exceptional yield potential and balanced, powerful effects. The information below is intended strictly for scientific and botanical reference.
Quick Facts
| Genetics | Pinana x Eye Candy |
|---|---|
| Variety | Indica-Dominant Hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa) |
| Flowering Time | 8–9 weeks (55–65 days indoors) |
| Yield Potential | Up to 600 g/m² (High Indoors); Up to 950 g/plant (High Outdoors) |
| Plant Height | Medium; exhibits the dense structure of the Eye Candy lineage |
| Climate Preference | Warm, Sunny, or Controlled Indoor (Prefers stable conditions) |

Scientific & Botanical Overview
Guwop Green plants inherit the sturdy, high-bag-appeal structure of the Eye Candy parent. The buds are dense, sticky, and visually striking, often displaying vibrant green hues completely encased in a shimmering layer of resin (trichomes). This makes the strain highly suitable for resin extraction. The flowering cycle is fast, typically completing in 8 to 9 weeks, rewarding the grower with exceptionally high yields for a strain of this quality and short duration. The complex, fermenting-fruit aroma becomes intense late in the cycle.
Effects & Use-Cases (Reported)
- Commonly reported effects: balanced, starting with uplifting cerebral stimulation and euphoria, transitioning into a deeply soothing and potent wave of physical relaxation.
- Use-case context: highly versatile; suitable for creative pursuits and social engagement during the afternoon, or for stress relief and unwinding in the evening without heavy sedation.
- Note: These are observational reports, not medical claims; outcomes are not guaranteed.
Aroma & Flavors
- Aroma: unique and complex, dominating with tropical fruit (pineapple, fruit punch) and sweet cherry notes, layered with an intriguing fermented or funky complexity and a subtle gassy undertone.
- Flavor: a burst of juicy, sweet fruit on the inhale, followed by a full-bodied, slightly spicy, and gassy finish on the exhale, retaining the tropical funk throughout.
- Terpene associations: myrcene (implied dominant), limonene, caryophyllene.
Tested Cannabinoid & Terpene Ranges
| Compound | Typical Range* | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Δ⁹-THC | ~27–30%+ | Known for extreme potency; suitable for seasoned cannabis enthusiasts. |
| CBD | ~0–1% | Generally present at low, trace levels. |
| Myrcene | High | Implied component; contributes to the body relaxation and fermented/musky notes. |
| Limonene | High | Implied component; contributes the tropical/fruit punch aroma and cerebral stimulation. |
| Caryophyllene | Moderate | Implied component; contributes to the subtle spice/funk and body effects. |
| Terpene Profile | Tropical Fruit/Funk/Cherry | Highly unique and complex aromatic profile. |
*Ranges are literature- and lab-report-informed references and can differ with environment, harvest timing, post-harvest handling, and analytical methods.
Cultivation Notes
- Light Cycle: 18/6 vegetative; 12/12 flowering
- Humidity Targets: 40–50% during flower; needs good airflow due to the dense bud structure; high resistance to pests and diseases.
- Nutrition: Moderate to heavy feeder; benefits from consistent temperature and nutrient monitoring (20–26°C recommended).
- Training: Regular pruning (defoliation) is essential to improve airflow and ensure light penetrates all parts of the medium-height plant for maximum yield.
- Harvest Window: Late September to early October outdoors (Northern Hemisphere), due to its short 8–9 week flowering time.
Grower Notes (Week-by-Week Snapshot)
- Weeks 1–2 (Transition/Stretch): average vegetative time; focus on structural shaping; transition nutrient solution.
- Weeks 3–4: dense flower set; perform strategic defoliation to clear interior sites; ensure good air movement.
- Weeks 5–7: peak bulking and resin production; aroma is highly intense; buds become rock-hard and frosty.
- Weeks 8–9: ripening; initiate final flush; harvest based on trichome maturity (aim for a mix of milky/amber for balanced effects).
- Post-Harvest: Dry 18–20 °C, 55–60% RH to lock in the volatile, complex tropical terpenes.
Timelines shift with genotype and environment; prioritize plant health markers and trichome maturity over calendar counts.
Genetic Lineage
Guwop Green is a premium hybrid from Compound Genetics, resulting from the cross of Pinana (known for its tropical terpenes and Hawaiian Punch aroma) and Eye Candy (a cross of Biscotti x The Menthol, prized for its extreme resin, density, and gassy/sweet aroma). This combination was engineered to deliver a unique, complex aroma profile—fermented tropical fruit—alongside the heavy potency and bag appeal of the Cookies and Menthol lineages.
Research Insights
The highly balanced effects of Guwop Green—combining cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation—demonstrate a textbook example of the entourage effect in high-THC hybrids. The strain’s unique profile (sweet, fermented fruit, and gas) is likely driven by a harmonious blend of myrcene and limonene that works to mitigate the potential paranoia of high THC, delivering a strong high that remains functional and enjoyable.
