Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor

Due to its terpene profile (it favors Limonene), the strain is a burst of sweetness, almost like a gummy candy. If you remember what gushers taste like, the name isn’t far off. But this time, there’s a bit of spiciness too (we’ll get into that in a bit). If you crave nostalgic childhood flavors in a new strain, Gushers has it all.

We mentioned that Gushers is packed with Limonene, which gives it a citrusy, sweet flavor, kind of like tangerine. It also has a generous amount of Caryophyllene, which imparts a spicy kick and a slight undertone of herbs. Herbal spicy lemons, a hint of cream, and a bit of the tropics on the exhale.

Effects

The strain’s effects favor relaxation as opposed to energy, making it a perfect do-nothing strain, ideal for binging Netflix, reading, knitting, or other low-key activities – a potentially ideal evening.

The high begins with euphoric tingles that start at the top of your neck. They spread to your limbs and create feelings of arousal and relaxation. We recommend Gushers for the early evening when you just want to kick back and do nothing, though not quite when you’re ready for bed – the strain won’t make you feel sleepy

Growing

Gushers grow slow and bushy so we don’t recommend high-stress pruning techniques or training. To get the most from your crop, instead try the Screen of Green method, or even lolli-popping, which helps the plant focus on the branches on top. This gives you denser buds and less ground foliage. It will also help you manage mold, which bushier strains like Gushers are susceptible to. Keep it dry and low-stress and the plant will reward you.
