Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has inspired the names of cannabis strains Willy Wonka and Golden Ticket. Now Gobstopper joins the fanciful bunch.  Gobstopper is a cross between Extreme’s own Candied Diesel and sativa favorite Vortex. The result is a soothing blend of physical and cerebral effects, accented by a multilayered, sour-fruity flavor. Cannabis testing lab Analytical 360 has measured this strain’s THC content at between 13% and 21%.

The fictional “everlasting” candies after which this strain is named are famous for gradually revealing different layers of flavor; Gobstopper’s complex aroma follows suit. The primary aroma of these flowers is citrus — particularly, grapefruit. Closer inspection yields hints of berries and uber-sweet cotton candy. Despite its mostly sweet character, when combusted, this bud can give off a harsh, eye-stinging smoke. The smoke tastes like diesel on the exhale, with some lingering citric, acidic punch. Notably, despite its purple coloring, grape is one flavor that Gobstopper lacks; this is because the pigments that produce its occasional violet hues do not have a corresponding effect on the strain’s taste.

Lastly, Extreme Boutique Genetics has not made seeds of Gobstopper available for commercial sale. As such, prospective growers must obtain clippings of the strain from a trusted source in order to grow genetically identical “clones.” This hybrid can be grown indoors or outdoors in a semi-humid climate with consistent daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Gobstopper flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors and rewards patient growers with a higher than average yield.

Why settle for only two or three flavors in your small-batch strain? A true winner of a hybrid, Gobstopper offers several unique flavors and a therapeutic high to boot.
