Choking Hazard (Gushers x Blue Power IX2) brings Gushers together with Blue Power IX2. The first is Gushers, also written TK41 - Gelato 41 put over Triangle Kush; the second, Blue Power after another decade of selection. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. Sin City work from a small stable of proven house parents rather than starting fresh each time, which is why their crosses behave more consistently than the ingredient list alone would suggest.

Written this way, Gushers is the mother and Blue Power IX2 the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Gushers. Cookies Fam's Gelato and Triangle Kush cross. Its own cross is given as Gelato #41 crossed to Triangle Kush. The Gelato #41 side brings the sweetness and the deep violet colour; Triangle Kush was chosen for raw potency rather than flavour, and it is what gives the dessert family some backbone. Also sold as TK41.
• Father: Blue Power IX2. The tightened, feminized continuation of Blue Power. Built from an inbred continuation of Blue Power. IX2 is not a new cross. It is Blue Power inbred and selected over more than a decade and then released feminized, and the point of that work is predictability - the flagship behaving the same way every time rather than throwing the range an F1 does. When Sin City put IX2 on a pack rather than plain Blue Power, they are saying the known half of the cross is now genuinely known.
• 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

Two profiles that stay distinguishable rather than collapsing into one.

• The Aroma. Creamy berry off the Gelato side from the Gushers side, against sweet kush, sour diesel and blueberry cream - unchanged from the plant it came from from the Blue Power IX2 side.
• The Taste. Sweet and creamy with fruit through it up front, turning to berry and lemon closing earthy, as the original does through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• The smell is a negotiation. Creamy berry off the gelato side on one side against the Blue Power nose - sweet kush and sour fuel over creamy blueberry on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Build. On the Gushers side: slightly indica-dominant, around sixty forty; a hardy bushy plant with real vigour. On the Blue Power IX2 side: it keeps Blue Power's indica build and its resin, with the variation pulled in by generations of selection. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• They pull differently. Growers put Gushers at weighted, and stronger than the dessert name suggests and Blue Power IX2 at physical relief without the mood going flat. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Gushers is slightly indica-dominant, around sixty forty; a hardy bushy plant with real vigour. Blue Power IX2 is it keeps Blue Power's indica build and its resin, with the variation pulled in by generations of selection.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Gushers as weighted, and stronger than the dessert name suggests.
• The Body. Blue Power IX2 is reported as physical relief without the mood going flat, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
