Pink Guava
Breeder: DEO Farms
Pink Guava is DEO Farms' legendary clone-only selection from a hunt through Dying Breed Seeds' OZ Kush. Founder Rob ran twelve packs of OZ Kush (Eddy OG x Zkittlez), identified the #41 phenotype for its distinctly tropical pink-guava-juice aroma, then F2'd the line to stabilize it. The result became one of the most significant breeding cornerstones in modern cannabis — the direct parent of RS-11, RS-54, and Zoap. As a smokeable flower, Pink Guava delivers a balanced 50/50 hybrid experience: cerebral euphoria with sociable giggly energy that transitions into full-body relaxation without heavy sedation.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: OZ Kush F2 (OG Eddy Lepp x Zkittlez) — #41 pheno
OZ Kush F2 selected by DEO Farms in Oakland, CA. The OZ Kush project originated from Dying Breed Seeds as a cross of OG Eddy Lepp (OG Kush x Grape Ape) and The Original Z (Zkittlez). Rob acquired the seeds at the Emerald Cup and hunted through them to find phenotype #41, which stood out for its intense tropical guava nose. The F2 stabilization concentrated Zkittlez's limonene-dominant terpene expression within an OG-structured plant frame.
Terpene Profile
Limonene — Dominates the profile — unusual for OG-heritage genetics, which typically lead with caryophyllene or myrcene. This inversion is the defining characteristic inherited from the Zkittlez parent and is what made Pink Guava such a revolutionary breeding tool.
Myrcene — Provides the tropical-fruit body and contributes to the relaxing physical component of the high.
Caryophyllene — Adds the spicy-peppery depth from the OG Eddy Lepp heritage, giving complexity and warmth to the otherwise fruit-forward profile.
Linalool — Contributes floral sweetness and creamy sherbet undertones that round out the tropical guava expression.
Aroma: Sweet tropical guava juice leads, layered with tangy citrus (grapefruit, apricot), creamy sherbet undertones, and a light peppery-earthy finish. The nose is fruit-forward without being flat — there is a subtle gas or fuel thread underneath from the OG Eddy Lepp heritage that gives depth. Cured properly, the jar smell is immediately recognizable as ripe guava candy with sour citrus brightness.
Flavor: Sweet tropical guava juice on the inhale with tangy citrus brightness, transitioning through creamy sherbet mid-notes to a light peppery-earthy finish. The OG heritage contributes a subtle fuel undertone that gives depth without overpowering the fruit-forward character.
Effects & Experience
Onset: Cerebral and uplifting — sociable, talkative, and giggly. Users report enhanced focus and mood elevation without racing thoughts.
After 30-60 minutes the body component settles in: full muscular relaxation, pain relief, and ease without couch-lock at moderate doses. At higher doses the relaxation deepens and can lead to sleepiness. Medical users favor it for depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, PTSD, and stress.
Duration: 2-3 hours for primary effects
Commonly Reported Uses
Grower's Notes
Balanced 50/50 hybrid growth pattern with medium height (5-8 ft) and compact, well-branched structure. Thrives in warm, sunny continental climates but adapts well to indoor environments. Shows strong mold resistance. Moderate internodal spacing with good light penetration. Flowering completes in approximately 8 weeks. Indoor yields average 450-540g/m²; outdoor plants produce 550-700g each in optimal conditions. The limonene-dominant terpene expression develops best with a slow dry and careful cure to preserve fragile monoterpenes.
Excellent for social situations, creative work, and stress decompression. A versatile all-day strain at moderate doses. Also prized for dry sift and fresh-frozen extraction due to its heavy trichome production and sticky resin heads.
History & Origin
Pink Guava was selected by DEO Farms founder Rob in Oakland, CA from twelve packs of Dying Breed Seeds' OZ Kush (Eddy OG x Zkittlez) acquired at the Emerald Cup. Phenotype #41 stood out for its intense tropical guava nose. Rob F2'd the line to stabilize it, creating one of the most significant breeding cornerstones in modern cannabis. Pink Guava brought limonene-forward expression into OG-heritage genetics at a time when the market lacked it, making it one of the most consequential breeding selections of the 2010s-2020s era.
