Occasionally, marijuana strains are veiled in mystery, as demonstrated in this Guava Cake strain evaluation. When marijuana strains are uncommon and have scant information about their ancestors, other breeders step up to replicate them for the masses.
Due to the fact that the derivatives of the original Guava Cake have not yet established the genetic ancestry, there are a plethora of attempts to recreate Guava Cake presently. We’ll look into the most popular Guava Cake and Guava Kush lineages.
Guava is a phenotype of Cookies Fam’s wildly renowned Gelato strain, which is known for its fruity and fuel-like aroma. OG Kush is a cannabis strain that has produced many child and grandchild strains and is widely used in the cannabis community. You can also read about the Biscotti strain and Ice Cream Cake strain.
Two varieties of Guava Cake are available as seeds. Perhaps you can grow both and determine which is more befitting of the name!
Guava Cake Strain Genetics
Consider the following approved forms of Guava Cake and their lineages:
- Cross of Guava with OG Kush Marijuana
- Cross of Strawberry Kush, Wedding Cake and Durban Poison
- Gold Leaf phenotype of Wedding Cake self back crossed
While the combination of Gold Leaf and Wedding Cake is frequently recognised as the authentic Guava Cake, you will not locate seeds to cultivate your own. This strain is a 70/30 indica/sativa hybrid. Wedding Cake is a widely available indica hybrid ganja strain that is well-known for its strength and calming euphoric effect. On the other side, Gold Leaf has an unknown genetic history and also delivers a soothing indica-dominant high that causes couch-lock or a lovely lengthy session of sleep.
Wedding Cake x Strawberry Kush x Durban Poison is a sativa dominant hybrid cannabis strain that is available as feminised seeds online through seed banks. We already covered Wedding Cake, but Strawberry Kush and Durban Poison transform this Guava Cake hybrid into a sativa dominant marijuana strain. Strawberry Kush leans more sativa and is derived from OG Kush. It combines the kushy flavour with strawberry undertones, living up to its name.
Durban Poison is a strong sativa strain that produces a productive and creative cerebral high while also boosting energy levels. Guava Kush or Guava Cake is the name given to the hybrid of Guava and OG Kush and is also accessible in seed form through seed banks. It’s another Garden Of Green-bred sativa-dominant hybrid.
Guava Kush Strain Yield
While the Gold Leaf and Wedding Cake variant lacks growth information, the rest do. We’ll call the cross of Wedding Cake, Strawberry Kush, and Durban Poison Guava Cake to save time and confusion. Guava Kush will be the result of a hybrid between Guava and OG Kush. Do you understand?
Guava Cake may be cultivated both indoors and outside. Despite the fact that it is predominantly sativa, it only produces plants of medium height. With adequate training and care during the growing season, yields can be abundant.
Guava Kush may reach a height of 5 feet and yields roughly 1.5 ounces per square foot of plant for indoor grows, while outdoor plants can generate up to 19 ounces per plant.
Flowering Period
Again, no growing information is given for the Gold Leaf variety of Guava Cake. The buds are reported to be a deep green with purple tints, rich amber hairs, and dazzling white trichomes.
The flowering period of Guava Cake (the version discussed in the Yield section) is approximately 55-75 days. The later phases of flowering will generate more amber trichomes and a heavier body high, whilst the 55ish day range will produce more milky white trichomes.
The buds have long oval calyxes that knot up when mature and are covered with pink-tinted hairs, resulting in a gorgeous blossom.
Guava Kush flowering time is 8-9 weeks. This ganja has green buds with orange to amber hairs and a dense coating of trichomes that virtually drowns out the green hues on the bud itself.
Aroma and flavor
Surprisingly, all varieties of Guava Cake have a flavor and scent characteristic that is sweet, tropical, and earthy. This is most likely why each variation claims the Guava Cake name. The taste and scent are so close that breeders can claim them as the same even if the heritages and effects differ slightly!

Conclusion
Whichever lineage is closest to the original Guava Cake, the newer attempts with seeds available for purchase are certain to quickly supplant the namesake.
While we may never know what the original Guava Cake was, we do know that breeders have been able to create versions of it, which are certain to thrill cannabis customers across the country.
