Rocket Pop

Mr Grow Guy distributed Rocket Pop only as regular seed; according to the strain details, feminized seeds of this version never existed. According to the hobby breeder's description, the seeds produce different phenotypes: fruity plants with a blueberry or cherry note over a light Kush background, purely sweet expressions without this undertone, and plants whose aroma recalls blueberry muffins. Genetically, the indica-dominant strain combines Blueberry Cookies with a backcross of Cherry OG.

Genetics and Origin:

The mother plant is a Blueberry Cookies, specifically a phenotype selected by Medicine Man Seeds. In the pedigree, Blueberry Cookies appears as a cross of Blueberry Diesel from Jordan of the Islands and Platinum Cookies, a selection of Girl Scout Cookies distributed only as a cutting. Mr Grow Guy contributed the father from his own breeding: a backcross of his Cherry OG, which traces back to (OG Kush x Alien Tech)² and Golden Strawberries from Crockett Family Farms. Alien Tech comes from Obsoul33t Genetics.

Mr Grow Guy is described as a hobby breeder who does not work commercially; his plans include a breeding project called Project Cherry. Other strain descriptions give the ratio as 60 % indica and 40 % sativa and name Cherry OG as the father without the backcross addition.

Cultivation:

Around 60 days of flowering are given for the original version. According to the strain details, indoor, outdoor and greenhouse are possible growing locations. Strain profiles describe the buds as heart-shaped and dark olive green, with a purple undertone and thin orange hairs.

Versions from Different Breeders:

Feminized seeds under this name are listed by Vancouver Seed Bank and Sonoma Seeds. Both name Blueberry Cookies and Cherry OG as parents but no breeder, and their data match: 8 to 10 weeks of flowering, outdoor harvest from late September to early October, indoor 200 to 300 g/m², outdoor 300 to 400 g per plant, a medium height of 152 to 244 cm (5 to 8 feet) and 20 to 22 % THC. Whether these seeds go back to Mr Grow Guy's material cannot be determined from the information given.

Vancouver Seed Bank considers cultivation comparatively easy, sees the plants as preferring a warm, sunny location and expects a need for support, because heavy buds can pull the branches down during flowering. Sonoma Seeds, by contrast, emphasizes adaptability to different climate zones.

Aroma and Flavor:

In flavor, according to Mr Grow Guy, the Blueberry Cookies mother prevails, complemented by a sweet cherry note. Strain descriptions list berries, blueberry, citrus, earth and a sour component for the scent, and berries, blueberry, cherry and fruity sweetness for the flavor; caryophyllene is named there as the leading terpene, followed by limonene and myrcene. In user reports, the flavor is compared several times to the ice lolly of the same name; vanilla, pine and lemon appear occasionally.

Effects:

Mr Grow Guy describes a euphoric effect that starts in the body and spreads from there, combined with pronounced relaxation. In the user reports, relaxation, euphoria, good mood and sleepiness dominate; some users fall asleep or cannot get up from the couch, and one report describes unwanted tiredness during the day. Others first notice a cerebral effect followed by body relaxation, and mention creativity, concentration, energy, tingling or giddiness. Some of the reports refer to vaporizer cartridges rather than flowers.

As side effects, strain descriptions list dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness. In the user reports, dry eyes occur, and in one case paranoia.

THC Content:

Strain descriptions give 20 % THC and 1 % CBG for Rocket Pop. For their feminized seeds, Vancouver Seed Bank and Sonoma Seeds give 20 to 22 % THC. Some user reports rate the strength higher than the stated values would suggest.
