ALPINE GUAVA (GUAVA X WHITE NIGHTMARE) reg brings Guava together with White Nightmare. The first is the tropical end of the Gelato family; the second, White Nightmare - narrow-leaf, frosted, and the lighter half of the house stock. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. Sin City have been running these house parents for over a decade. The value in a cross like this is as much in the known half as in the new one.

These are regular seeds, so expect males as well as females. That is a cost if you only want flower and the entire point if you want to breed - you cannot make seed or keep a father without them.

Guava sits on the seed side here, White Nightmare on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Guava. Guava - a Gelato selection, though the name is used for more than one plant. What it actually is depends who you ask. Cookies Fam call this Gelato phenotype Guava; Sherbinski calls the same plant Guava Gelato. Flavour Chasers and Garden of Green describe something else entirely - a Stardawg and Afghani cross - and a fourth account has Guava as a Stardawg phenotype. The Gelato reading is the common one, but the name is doing more than one job. Myrcene, linalool and alpha-humulene lead its terpene profile.
• Father: White Nightmare. Sin City's resin-heavy sativa, and the counterweight to Blue Power. Its own cross is Sin City give it as Blue Dream crossed to White Moonshine. The parentage is written two ways. Sin City's own product naming gives Blue Dream x White Moonshine, while several third-party listings give it as The White crossed to Blue Dream. Those are not the same claim - White Moonshine is itself The White x Blue Moonshine, so the second version drops a parent. The breeder's own statement is the one to go on.
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Creamy tropical fruit with pina colada and a hop note through it.
• The Taste. Guava and cream, tropical rather than sweet-shop.

How the two sides differ

• What to budget. The documented side, Guava, runs seven to eight weeks indoors, nine outdoors. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Build. On the Guava side: a Gelato-type plant, and one of the fruitier ones. On the White Nightmare side: sativa-leaning, and a heavy resin producer. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Guava is reported as the balanced Gelato character; White Nightmare as energetic and cerebral. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Guava is a Gelato-type plant, and one of the fruitier ones. White Nightmare is narrow-leaf leaning with heavy trichome coverage.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• Flowering Time. Guava runs seven to eight weeks indoors, nine outdoors. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Guava as the balanced Gelato character.
• The Body. White Nightmare is reported as energetic and cerebral, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Seeds from Sin City Seeds. Their whole approach rests on a few elite parents held for years - Blue Power above all - so a pack from them is really an argument about what that parent does to something new. Original Sin City Seeds stock.
