Gushers: Gassy Berry Candy

The Gushers strain of cannabis has a sweet berry flavor similar to candy. Its aroma is gassy and strong with earthy, spicy, and herbal undertones. It gets this mix of flavor and aroma from its parent strains, Triangle Kush and Gelato #41. It tastes similarly to its namesake, Gushers fruit snacks that have appeared in lunchboxes all over the world for decades.

This strain’s THC content of up to 30% is super strong and affects users almost instantly. Created in the early 2010s in San Francisco, California, in the region’s Emerald Triangle, which is known for producing some of the most popular and highly sought-after cannabis varieties on planet Earth. It is considered to be a top-shelf, award-winning strain that is featured in dispensaries all over the globe.

Growing Tips for Gushers

Gushers plants grow short indoors and slightly taller outdoors. The buds of the plants are dense and olive-green with lilac and purple hints. They are also coated in a thick layer of trichomes, making them appear frosty under certain light. Known for its resilience toward fluctuating temperatures. Like many cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a practical choice for growers with extensive experience, as they can be difficult to produce. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.

Establish consistent conditions

Daytime temperatures of approximately 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 21-29 degrees Celsius are ideal for Gushers plants. Humidity levels should fall between 55-65% during the vegetative stage, and drop to 40-50% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture helps eliminate the risk of mold while encouraging a more potent terpene profile.

Recommended Training Techniques

Low-stress Training, Topping, and Screen of Green (ScrOG) training techniques are best suited for this particular strain. These techniques require the grower to trim the non-producing parts of the plant while reinforcing the heavier branches and buds with screens or nets so the weight of the buds doesn’t compromise the integrity of the entire plant.

Fine-tune nutrient levels

All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Gushers prefers greater amounts of nitrogen, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Germinating Your Gushers Seeds

Our straightforward germination guide is an easy-to-understand way for growers of all skill levels to start the growing process. If you have basic items on hand, such as paper towels and water, you can germinate your Gushers seeds like a pro.

Our step-by-step process allows taproots to emerge within 3–7 days, following which your seeds can be transferred to nutrient-rich soil, a hydroponic setup, or another growing medium of your choice. As an added benefit, growers who use our technique can cultivate with confidence, knowing their seeds are fully protected by our germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

The Gushers strain has a flowering period of approximately 60-65 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in mid-October. Indoor growers will produce up to 750 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 1100 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable.

Dominant Terpenes in Gushers

Gushers’ sweet candy flavor and pungent gassy aroma are due, in part, to dominant terpenes caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. Caryophyllene is a peppery and spicy terpene that can be found in cinnamon and black pepper. Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in the cannabis world. It offers a relaxing feeling as well as an earthy and herbal fragrance. Limonene is commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits, and when found in cannabis plants, it gives off a fruity scent and flavor.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Gushers

Gushers’ THC content of up to 30% is incredibly potent for all levels of users. After a few small tokes, users should feel a euphoric onset in the mind that brings about happiness and a creative focus designed to enlighten and lift the spirits. As the high wears on it travels down the body, transitioning into a warm sensation that will inevitably lead to couch-lock. While it isn’t a top choice for wake-and-bake smoking, it is great for afternoons and evenings when responsibilities vanish, and you can enjoy some time to yourself or with a small group of friends.
