Pink Guava is a hybrid cannabis strain selected by Deo Farms of Oakland, California, from a seed hunt through OZ Kush, known for apricot, grapefruit and citrus flavors. It is best known as a breeding parent: Deo Farms used it to make RS-11 and Zoap, two of the most sought-after candy-fruit strains of recent years. Leafly users describe its effects as mostly calming, but reliable THC data for the original cut is scarce.

Where Pink Guava Comes From
Leafly describes Pink Guava as a breeding strain from Deo Farms in Oakland, picked out during a hunt through OZ Kush seeds from Dying Breed Seeds. SeedFinder’s lineage pages for a long list of Wizard Trees strains trace back to the same plant, listing it as a Deo Farms selection from an OZ Kush F2 population. The OZ Kush line is usually described as OG Kush crossed with Zkittlez.
The strain’s reputation rests mainly on its children. Leafly says Pink Guava was used to make RS-11, RS-54 and Zoap, and SeedFinder shows its genetics running through much of the Wizard Trees catalog, including The Keeper, Obsidian and Sherbzooka. As a finished flower it is harder to find than its offspring.
The name is not unique. A Canadian pre-roll product sold as Pink Guava is described as Nepali Pink crossed with Guava, which is a different plant from the Deo Farms selection.
Pink Guava Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly’s top reported effects are aroused, giggly and relaxed, and the description sums them up as mostly calming. That points to a mellow, good-humored experience suited to an evening at home or with friends. We did not find a reliable THC range for the Deo Farms cut, so judge strength by the lab label on the package and start with a small amount.
Pink Guava Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Leafly’s top flavor tags are apricot, grapefruit and citrus, which line up with the stone-fruit and citrus character Pink Guava passed on to RS-11 and Zoap. We found no lab terpene data for the original cut, so we have not listed terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Pink Guava
Leafly users most often mention dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness. These are typical of most THC-rich flower. Go slow, and drink water.
If you are new to Pink Guava, start with one small inhalation or 2.5 mg in an edible and wait before taking more; see our dosing guide.
