Origins & Lineage
Developed by Elev8 Seeds, Spicy Guava is the result of extensive breeding and experimentation, aiming to merge intense spice with sweet, dessert-like characteristics. Its genetic lineage is primarily derived from the parent strains Chili Verde, contributing spicy and earthy notes, and Rainbow Sherbet #11, which imparts a rich sweetness and robust resin production. This cross results in a predominantly indica-leaning plant.
