Where Gushers Comes From
Leafly and AllBud both list Gushers as a cross of Triangle Kush and Gelato 41, also called G41. Leafly says the breeder is unknown, and AllBud does not name one. Gushers is also called White Gushers or White Gusherz, and Leafly lists Splash and Poison Gushers as offspring.
Leafly says it is named for its thick fruit flavor and gives a typical retail price of $15 to $20 a gram. The name is shared with a popular fruit-snack brand, and several dispensary strains use the Gushers name in crosses, which can add confusion, so check the label.
Gushers Effects: What It Feels Like
Gushers is calming without always being knockout sedating. Reviewers list tingly, relaxed and euphoric, and AllBud describes it as relaxing but not necessarily sleep-inducing, with some uplift.
That makes it flexible for afternoon or evening. Reviews are mixed on duration, and a few people report a short high or headaches, so batch quality seems to matter.
Gushers Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
The flavor is sour tropical fruit and cream, with apple, apricot and honey described in reviews. Some also mention a spicy, grape-like edge or a Swiss cheese-and-pear quirk, so descriptions differ.
Caryophyllene leads, followed by limonene and linalool. Caryophyllene gives pepper, limonene citrus, and linalool a floral note. Leafly’s text calls the dominant terpene unknown, though the lab data list caryophyllene.
- Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Linalool: floral and lavender-like
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Gushers
Dry mouth and dizziness are the most common reports, and anxiety, headaches and itchy eyes appear in reviews. As with most potent hybrids, go slowly with the first dose.
