# Guava

> Guava is a name shared by several plants: the Guava on Leafly and AllBud is a sativa-leaning Gelato phenotype from the Cookies Fam, Top Dawg Seeds’ earlier Guava came out of its 2011 Stardawg release, and Flavour Chasers sells Guava seeds bred from Stardawg × Afghani. None of them is Strawberry Guava, Guava Cake, Pink Guava or Guava Gelato. In only 92 state lab tests of Guava flower, a small sample, the median total THC was 23.52%, with the middle half of results between 21.32% and 25.73%; results labelled Guava IX, a separate Stardawg × Guava cross, are left out. CBD is negligible: none of the 28 tests that reported CBD reached 1%.

## Lab report: key findings
- Guava's THC profile sits near the upper end of this dataset, with median total THC of 23.52%, placement 8th of 58 and a middle half spanning 4.41 points.
- The cutoff pattern is uneven: 82% of 92 tests cleared 20%, then the shares fall to 36% at 25% and 1.1% at 30%.
- Terpene counts favored limonene at 60%, though the median-level ranking flips to β-caryophyllene.
- For exact-name lab records, 42% were flower and concentrates contributed 31%, so the name appears across multiple forms.
- On Weedmaps menus, Guava flower had 409 listings, covered 22 of 27 markets and held the 8th slot among 50 tracked strains.
- Exact-eighth comparisons were mixed: Guava undercut the local typical other strain in 5 of 11 markets with enough prices.
